In this paper a microstrip antenna on a suspended substrate with capacitive feed is presented. capacitive feed is created by a slot within the rectangular patch around the feed point. The proposed antenna exhibits a much higher impedance bandwidth of about 47% (S11 < −10 dB). Effects of key design parameters such as the air gap between the substrate and the ground plane, the gap width between r...

This paper presents an E-ring shaped printed monopole antenna for UWB applications with dual notched bands performance. In order to generate single frequency band notch function, we applied a U-ring shaped monopole antenna, and by inserting a rectangular ring in the centre of it an E-ring shaped radiating patch created and a dual band-notch function can be achieved. The measured bandwidth of th...

This paper presents a mini multi-band printed omnidirectional antenna with v-shaped structure for radio frequency identification (RFID) applications. The proposed multi-band antenna is developed from the initial v-shaped design which is only capable of working as a single-band antenna. By deploying a concept of dipole antenna to an initial design, the proposed antenna is accomplished to operate...

This paper presents a circularly polarized patch antenna with a pair of integrated low noise amplifiers for wireless systems. The proposed low noise system uses the integration of active devices with the antenna to obtain good gain and noise figure. This reduces the burden on a wireless system’s link budget.

fresnel zone plate antenna (fzpa) was considered as a recieving antenna. an expression of electric field on axis of antenna produced by an incidente plane wave was found . the expression was used for calculation of gain, efficiency and optimum phase correcting function. several fzpa are fabricated and tested. experimental and theoretical results were compared and it was shown that there was a g...

In this paper, a novel CPW-fed antenna is presented for UWB applications. The antenna mainly comprises of a simple circular patch and a modified ground plane. The inclusion of two novel symmetrical rectangular slots with inner area of 3×2.8 mm2 to the top corners of the antenna creates a new path for the current and consequently leads to the bandwidth enhancement. A rectangular stub is also ado...
