Comparison of RF Performance of Novel SSE Shaped Microstrip Patch Antenna Using Arlon AD300A and Tcon RF30 Materials for S-Band Applications

Aim: To analyses and contrast the radio frequency (RF) characteristics of a newly built SSE (combination S-shaped and E-shaped microstrip antenna) constructed utilising Arlo AD300A fabric and Tcon RF30 fabric when it is running at 3.6 GHz. This will be done so that we may better understand its capabilities. In terms of the Materials as well as the Methods: For the purpose of evaluating the RF characteristics of each of these materials, their return losses, VSWR, impedances, and gains were all measured. This allowed for direct comparisons to be drawn between them. The total score for the garment's performance in the test was 54, and each of its fabrics was given a score of 27. As a consequence of this, the RF characteristics of the Arlon AD300A fabric ended up being significantly better than that of the fabric designated as Tcon to RF30. The Tcon to RF30 fabric had a return loss of -27.527 dB, a gain of 5.50 dB, and an impedance of 55.87, whereas the AD300A fabric had a return loss of -29.7906 dB, a VSWR of 0.7613, a gain of 5.50 dB, and an impedance of 55.87. The solid dimensions of these two different types of material were 38.03 millimeters by 29.28 millimeters. The significance value of the difference between these two materials was 0.001 for performance loss and 0.001 for VSWR, which is less than p<0.05. This indicates that there is not a statistically significant gap between the two groups. There are distinguishing characteristics that may be used to differentiate the two groups from one another. Arlon's AD300A fabric displayed improved RF characteristics when compared to Tcon RF30 fabric for usage in S-band applications that operate at 3.6 GHz. The comparison was made using the frequency range from 300 to 3600 MHz.
