Design & Analysis of Hexagonal Patch Antenna at 1.8GHz for L-Band

In this paper, we designed a hexagonal shape patch antenna for L-band application. After designing the antenna on 1.8GHz (L-band), we study and analyzed the results of both simulated & measured. For L-band, we uses the dielectric substrate 4.2, loss tangent.0012 and having the substrate height 2mm. The patch and ground plane dimension's are same for both the antennas (i.e hardware base & software base). The designed antenna on IE3d software at 1.8GHz (L-band) frequency showing the bandwidth 52% having return loss-22dB while the designed antenna on hard ware base at 1.8GHz frequency showing the bandwidth 43.9% having return loss-27dB. All the other respective results i.e., VSWR, gain, directivity, efficiency and 3D-radiation pattern for software design are shown.
