Ground plane, patch, feedline dimesnion and the impedance matching
The substrate is Rogers RT 5880 and the feedline, patch and ground plane is Copper (Annealed).
The feedline is Micro Line Feed.
the is result for S-parameter is accepted but the z-matrix(impedance) is around 40ohms
but my minimum tolerance is at least 0.5mm and the impedance is 50 ohms.
How & what is the dimension of the thickness of the patch, feed line and ground plane for that specification as mention above?
What other improvement can be made?
Hi,
I suggest the following:
To have a realistic thickness for your patch, feed line & gnd plane, consider 1 oz of copper (~1,4 mils or 0.034 mm approximately). These numbers depend upon what thickness do you specify to the PCB manufacturer while manufacturing this design. I usually use 1 oz of copper in my pcb designs.
I am not sure on this end, but you can make the ground spread out on the complete board dimension on the bottom layer. Currently I see you have it only below the feed line. Also I think you can consider the feed line as a microstrip and use any of the online microstrip calculators to decide upon the feed line's width to match the 50 ohm impedance of your patch.
I hope this helps to improve your design.

when using cst the result is 40ohms but the calculator give 35ohms
the white is the substrate which is between the feed and the ground.
they all are just above the substrate.
the result from cst and the microstrip calcluator
