Microstrip Patch Antenna Calculator //top\\
To achieve a 50$\Omega$ match, we use an "inset feed" (a notch cut out of the patch). The depth $y_0$ is calculated using: $$R_in(y=0) = \frac12G$$ (Where $G$ is the conductance of the radiating slot).

# 2. Calculate Effective Dielectric Constant (epsilon_eff) # Use the ratio W/h for the formula ratio = W / substrate_height term = 1 + (12 / ratio) epsilon_eff = ((dielectric_constant + 1) / 2) + ((dielectric_constant - 1) / 2) * (term ** -0.5) formula | ≈ 220 Ω | | 6
The calculator provides only. Real-world tuning is required due to:
[ W = \fracc2 f_r \sqrt\frac\varepsilon_r + 12 ] where ( c = 3 \times 10^8 , m/s ) (speed of light).
