The Study about the Effect of Geometric Parameters' and Material Properties’ Changing on the Electromagnetic Performance of BSSAS

Abstract:

This paper introduced a research work on the development of a Broadband Smart Skin Antenna Structure (BSSAS). This structure possessed the load-bearing, shape maintaining and communication capabilities at the same time. A frequency-independent planar log-spiral antenna suitable for electromagnetic communication from 0.8GHz to 8GHz was embedded in a composites sandwich panel. Numerical models have been generated to analyze the effect of geometric parameters and material properties changing on the electromagnetic performance of BSSAS. The numerical results showed that both VSWR and the maximum gain of BSSAS at 1.2GHz and 1.6GHz were not sensitive to the geometric parameters and material properties of the packaging structure.
