Performance Analysis of Dipole and Bow-Tie Antenna for Underwater Communication Using FEKO

The aim of this paper is to design antenna and analyze the behavior of short-range electromagnetic wave communication for underwater environment in terms of return loss, gain, and radiation pattern. The Analyses is based on the simulation of the antenna characteristics using FEKO electromagnetic (EM) software. This paper mainly focuses on the performance of two antennas, specifically dipole and bow tie. These antennas are assessed through simulation and their performance is studied at different frequencies for air, freshwater, and seawater.
