Study and Detection of Chlorine Concentration in Water using Microstrip Patch Antenna
Keywords:
Dielectric, HFSS, Microstrip patch antenna, S-parameter, Linear correlationAbstract
This study explores the application of microstrip patch antennas for real-time monitoring of chlorine levels in water treatment. Traditional methods, time-consuming and requiring expertise, are addressed by the proposed technique. Utilizing HFSS software, the microstrip patch antenna dimensions were optimized for chlorine sensitivity. Simulations revealed a linear correlation between antenna behavior (S parameters) and changing chlorine concentrations. The consistent and proportional shift in S parameters with increasing chlorine dosage establishes the antenna's sensitivity to water composition changes. This linear relationship ensures a reliable correlation between the antenna's response and tested chlorine levels. The study concludes that HFSS-assisted simulations enable quantitative evaluation of chlorine dosage in water treatment systems. This underscores the antenna's accuracy in measuring chlorine levels, emphasizing its potential for precise real-time monitoring in water treatment applications.
