Pattern Switchable Antenna System Using Inkjet-Printed Directional Bow-Tie for Bi-Direction Sensing Applications

In this paper, we propose a paper-based pattern switchable antenna system using inkjet-printing technology for bi-direction sensor applications. The proposed antenna system is composed of two directional bow-tie antennas and a switching network. The switching network consists of a single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) switch and a balun element. A double-sided parallel-strip line (DSPSL) is employed ...

Wideband Microstrip-fed Printed Bow-tie Antenna for Phasedarray Systems

A micro strip-fed printed bow-tie antenna is presented inorder to achieve wide bandwidth, high gain, and size reduction. A comparisonbetween the bow-tie and the quasi-Yagi (dipole and director)antennas shows that the bow-tie antenna has a wider bandwidth, highergain, lower front-to-back ratio, lower crosspolarization level, andsmaller size. Two-element arrays are designed and their characterist...

Design of koch fractal bow tie antenna for wireless applications

The crowding of wireless band has necessitated the development of multiband and wideband wireless antennas. Because of the self similar characteristics, fractal concepts have emerged as a design methodology for compact multiband antennas. A Koch-like fractal curve is proposed to transform ultra-wideband (UWB) bow-tie into so called Koch-like sided fractal bow-tie dipole. A small isosceles trian...

A Planar Self-complementary Bow-tie Antenna for Uwb Applications

A new planar bow-tie antenna is proposed here for UWB applications. The self-complementary principle has been applied to a planar triangular monopole antenna along with bending the microstrip feed line. The antenna has a wider frequency band compared to the traditional bow-tie antenna, complies with the UWB requirements and it is directly matched to the (SMA) connector via 50Ω microstrip feed l...
