Planar antennas libraries#
The planar antenna libraries provide parametric generators for common microstrip patch antenna geometries. These functions automatically calculate antenna dimensions based on operating frequency and substrate properties, eliminating tedious manual calculations.
Summary#
Patch antennas are widely used in wireless systems due to their:
Low profile and conformability
Ease of fabrication using standard PCB processes
Integration with microstrip feed networks
Dual-frequency and circular polarization capabilities
The PyEDB antenna libraries automate the design of these antennas by:
Calculating resonant patch dimensions from target frequency
Accounting for substrate properties (εr, thickness)
Generating feed point locations for optimal matching
Creating the complete geometry ready for simulation
