Patch Antenna Inset Feed Calculator -

This feature is designed for educational tools, RF simulation prep, or as a module in a larger antenna design suite. 1. Overview This feature calculates the required inset feed point distance for a rectangular microstrip patch antenna to achieve a specific input impedance match (typically 50Ω). It also computes key antenna parameters: resonant frequency, patch dimensions, and effective dielectric constant.

# Step 1: Width W W = (c / (2 * f)) * math.sqrt(2 / (er + 1)) patch antenna inset feed calculator

--- Results --- Patch width (W) : 37.26 mm Patch length (L) : 28.96 mm Effective εr : 4.125 Edge input resistance : 215.8 Ω Inset distance (y0) : 9.32 mm from edge Impedance at inset : 49.98 Ω This feature is designed for educational tools, RF

# Step 4: Effective length -> Physical length L Leff = c / (2 * f * math.sqrt(ereff)) L = Leff - 2 * delta_L It also computes key antenna parameters: resonant frequency,

# Step 2: Effective dielectric constant ereff = ((er + 1) / 2) + ((er - 1) / 2) * (1 / math.sqrt(1 + 12 * h / W))

# Step 5: Edge resistance approximation (cavity model) Rin0 = 90 * (er**2 / (er - 1)) * (L / W)

# Convert back to mm return "patch_width_mm": W * 1000, "patch_length_mm": L * 1000, "effective_epsilon_r": round(ereff, 4), "edge_resistance_ohms": round(Rin0, 2), "inset_distance_from_edge_mm": round(y0 * 1000, 3), "input_impedance_at_inset_ohms": round(Rin0 * (math.cos(math.pi * y0 / L)**2), 2)
