MAKING OF A PCB ETCHED RECTANGULAR MICROPATCH ANTENNA WITH INSET FEED Requirements: 1. PCB design software (EAGLE layout editor 6.0.0) 2. Magazine paper/advertisement brochure (A4 size) 3. Laser printer 4. Single sided Copper clad laminate or also called Radio shack (FR4 laminate 1.6µm thick):1X1 feet 5. Iron machine 6. Etching solution powder: Ferrous chloride: 75 gms 7. Kitchen scrub: sponge/metallic: 1 piece 8. Nail polish remover/Thinner: Around 50ml 9. Cotton or Ear buds sponge 10. Water:1 small bucket(about 5-10litre) 11. Medium size plastic tub for preparing etching solution. 12. Couple of wires with hard plastic insulation to hold the PCB while etching 13. Fewikwik:2 packets 14. SMA co-axial 3.5mm Female socket connector:1peice 15. Soldering Iron, flux, lead. Drawing of RMPA with Inset Feed using EAGLE 6.0.0 Getting the software: EAGLE is an acronym of Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor. This software can be downloaded from the website under downloads tab by clicking Download Eagle option. Opening the Eagle: After installing it in system click Start-All programs-Eagle Layout Editor 6.0.0-EAGLE 6.0.0 Creating a New file: After opening the EAGLE, click FILE-NEW-BOARD Drawing a Schematic of Patch: After we design the patch dimensions by using Design formulas of patch antenna, convert the dimension from mm to inches as the EAGLE allows you to draw schematics in inches. Now click on DRAW -Rect, This allows you to draw Rectangles of desired dimensions. We can draw the complete Rectangular Microstrip Patch antenna with inset feed by drawing it as 4 Rectangles in EAGLE. So, we have to calculate the dimensions of each and then we go for drawing. Co-ordinates of the Rectangle, (LENGTH, BREADTH) we can draw with a minimum incremental dimension of 0.05inch Rectangle drawn
