Microstrip Patch Antenna Ansoft Designer

Hello EveryOne !

I'm a student and i'm writing a thesis about the fault diagnosis in Microstrip Patch Array antennas using a SingleValueOptimization Algorithm. First, i have to implement a patch array in ansoft designer V2 using the Circuit Simulator (Microstrip Component) without planar EM. How i can do it ?

Thank you a lot !

An equivalent-circuit model for the patch antenna can be found in Balanis' "Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design" textbook, and probably elsewhere on the internet.

Basically, you want to create a lossy, half-wavelength resonator, the characteristic impedance of which differs significantly from your system impedance.
