In this paper, a parametric study of conventional Uniplanar Compact Photonic Band Gap (UC-PBG) structures, with different dimensions, is investigated. The studied structure operates as an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) in which the performance is mainly characterized by the resonant frequency and bandwidth. Simulation and numerical analysis have been carried out using CST Microwave Studio ...

A set of hybrid microstrip patch and semi-circular cavity antennas is introduced. The semi-circular cavity is implemented using Half-mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide (HMSIW) technique. Different shapes of patch include rectangular, semi-circular and equilateral triangular are excited using proximity effect by the circular SIW cavity at its TM010 mode of operation. The whole structures have b...

The intent of this paper is to compare two designs of RFID antenna which is used for Ultra High frequency (UHF) and Ultra wideband (UWB) applications. Here the comparison of Hybrid design and XETS design is done. In hybrid design the antenna simultaneously operate on both the bands viz.UHF as well as UWB. In XETS design antenna operates only for UWB. Hybrid antenna is planar antenna. There is a...
