Dear All,

I have been simulating very basic patch antennas. However when I compare simulations with measurements I always get very different plots (please see the attachment). Can it be about COMSOL's S11 Parameter or a plot scale problem? What would be reasons for that ?

Thanks in advance.

Osman,

Unlike your measurement plots, the numerical results do not even look smooth enough. I suspect something went wrong in setting up your model.

Hi,

First of all thank you so much for your kind response.

The antenna that I am trying to simulate is a fabricated out of with special materials. It contains different material subdomains in it (Fig1). Actually I was suspecting with its material properties however after re-measurements I have found similar results that I assigned as a material. (diel1, diel2 and diel3).

What would be the problem you think?

Best regards.

Hi Osman,

I am also having the same problem; the S11data measurement from network analyzer it does not match with the simulation at all. Well, I use a waveguide microwave cavity instead of your patch antenna but the problem is the same.
So finally have you figured it out the problem?

Hi Hakan,

The antenna that i was trying to simulate, had a high dielectric material and complex shape as you see. So later on I designed a very simple patch antenna with duroid substrate and results matched very well with the measurement.
