An antenna gives the wireless system three fundamental properties: gain, direction and polarization. Gain is a measure of increase in power. Gain is the amount of increase in energy that an antenna adds to a radio frequency (RF) signal. Direction is the shape of the transmission pattern. As the gain of a directional antenna increases, the angle of radiation usually decreases. This provides a gr...

This paper deals with a scheme of Antenna array side lobe reduction by varying amplitude of each element of the antenna array using the Tsukamoto fuzzy logic controller. Here it has been tried to reduce the Side Lobe Level of the antenna array radiation pattern by changing the amplitude of the antenna array elements. Spacing between the antenna array elements and the corresponding phase shift i...

Abstract We present a new reconfigurable broadband miniature antenna architecture that is able to change its working frequency, polarization, or radiation pattern to get single broadband or dualband behavior for a single widebeam or multibeam diversity configuration. Two antenna geometries are considered. A single element antenna, the socalled dime antenna, is introduced. A prototype dime anten...

This paper presents coaxial feed rectangular microstrip patch antenna. A narrow Lshaped microstrip antenna is fed at the corner using a coaxial feed to obtain a LP operation. Experiments are carriedout to investigate its return loss, its radiation and its time domain behavior, which exhibit good radiation pattern. The simple rectangular and compact L-shaped microstrip antenna is simulated with ...

The Fisher information matrix for the unknown moving targets velocity parameters is computed as function of the antenna radiation pattern. The resultant matrix is analysed and the characteristics that the antenna gain should exhibit in order to enhance the estimation of the unknown moving objects velocity vector are deduced. Simulation results comparing the various antenna radiation patterns en...

The radiation of an electric dipole emitter can be drastically enhanced if the emitter is placed in the nano-gap of a metallic dipole antenna. By assuming that only surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are excited on the antenna, we build up an intuitive pure-SPP model that is able to comprehensively predict the electromagnetic features of the antenna radiation, such as the total or radiative emis...

Objective of this study is to enhance radius of curvature of return loss, input impedance & explore SWR and radiation pattern. Hollow CDRA has been used instead of single-element CDRA to achieve the above mentioned goal. The impedance bandwidth of a high permittivity hollow cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna excited by micro-strip lines was significantly improved by modifying the feed geo...
