Featured Project: 5 GHz Inset-Fed Patch Antenna (Capstone)

Full design, 3D modeling, and EM simulation of a 5 GHz rectangular patch antenna with 50-ohm inset feed for Wi-Fi / C-band applications.

• Resonant Frequency: 5.00 GHz
• Return Loss ($S_{11}$): -37.52 dB
• VSWR: 1.03 : 1
• Peak Realized Gain: 4.80 dBi
• -10 dB Bandwidth: ~300 MHz (4.85 GHz – 5.15 GHz)
• Input Impedance: ~50 $\Omega$ matched
