E-shaped Patch Symmetrically Loaded with Tunnel Diodes for Frequency Agile/broadband Operation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analysis of a frequency agile broadband E-shaped patch antenna (ESPA) symmetrically loaded with tunnel diodes is presented in this paper. The notch parameters such as notch-length, notch-width and position are optimized to achieve the optimum broadband operation of ESPA. Under the optimum conditions of ESPA (bandwidth 32.35%), the performance of the antenna is also analyzed as a function of bias voltage of tunnel diode. It may be mentioned that the proposed antenna can be operated in tunable band that varies from 1055 MHz (bandwidth 42.54%) to 1324 MHz (bandwidth 49.77%) with the bias voltage. Further, the radiated power of the proposed antenna is enhanced by 5.67 dB as compared to the E-shaped patch antenna.

In this paper, a broadband circularly polarized (CP) antenna based on slot-loaded dipole with L-shaped arms and parasitic patches is proposed and investigated. Circular polarization is initially obtained at the lower frequency by bending the dipole arms into L-shape. To extend the axial ratio (AR) bandwidth, two pairs of parasitic patches are introduced along the orthogonal sections of the L-sh...
