Performance Analysis of Fluidic Channel designed Antenna for 5G and 6G Applications
Fluid antennas are defined as antennas having fluidic architecture that may be reconfigured via software, altering its shape, polarization, and location. The term "fluid" was coined when it was believed that chemicals and water might be used to build antenna. The Initiative of the design of Fluid Antenna has been designed with the Patch layer in the front part and ground layer at the back part which consists of Fluidic Structures . The Performance metrics such as Return Loss and VSWR, Axial Ratio, Polarisation are analyzed and Return loss is found to be 15dB at 2.5GHz and VSWR of 2.2 at 2.5GHz.The Designed Antenna Structure operates in Circular Polarization with Axial Ratio of 1.59.The fluid used for the analysis of Fluidic Structure is sea water with pH 7.9 to 8.4. The sea water acts a dielectric medium. The Antenna designed was Fabricated and its performance metrics was measured using Vector Network Analyzer .The measured results was compared with the Simulated results and analyzed for its effectiveness .The designed and fabricated Fluidic structure can be used for 5G and 6G Related Applications.
