In this paper, the bandwidth of rectangular Microstrip antenna is enhanced by ‘I’ slotted rectangular microstrip patch antenna. In some applications which the increased bandwidth is needed, proposed antenna is one of the alternative solutions. The proposed antenna has been designed at the 2 GHz frequency. The frequency band of proposed antenna is in between (1.64-3.26 GHz) the fractional bandwi...

A 2.45-GHz microstrip patch antenna was designed for small-satellite communications. Optimization was achieved by trimming the copper patch to minimize the input return loss over the desired 2:1 VSWR bandwidth. Final testing of the antenna included a successful long-range data transmission over which pictures taken by the satellite were sent to the ground station. In addition to the microstrip ...

In this paper, novel applications of metamaterials composite structure in antenna engineering has been considered. Compared with the conventional materials, metamaterials exhibits some specific features which are not found in conventional materials. Some unique applications of these composite structures as an antenna substrate, superstrate, feed networks, phased array antennas, ground planes, a...

A novel circular polarized antenna structure capable of high radiation efficiency, and suitable for use in multilayer microwave circuits is presented. The antenna uses dual ring feed system to enhance radiation. Data is provided for a prototype antenna working at 10GHz.

This paper presents a single layer multi-band reflectarray antenna with circular polarization. The antenna geometry and operation principles are described. The reflectarray design procedure, including antenna elements and offset feed, is illustrated in details. An X band reflectarray prototype is fabricated and measured in the near field system, which realizes a 30.4 dB gain, 53.7% efficiency, ...

We introduce here a simple theory of antenna radiation and scattering that fully extends into the time domain a number of standard antenna terms, including gain, realized gain, effective length, antenna pattern, beamwidth, scattering cross section, and radar cross section. Power wave theory applies to linear reciprocal antennas of all feed impedances and feed types, including waveguide feeds. I...

This paper describes the design and testing of a feed network for a transparent flat plate array antenna. This antenna is the top of a stack of three antennas that must occupy the same volume while pointing in different directions. At many pointing angles, the antenna will create blockage for the antennas underneath. In order to minimize the blockage, the array and its transmission lines must b...

A folded loop antenna for handsets has already been introduced and shown as one of balanced feed antennas for handsets, which is very effective to mitigate the antenna performance degradation due to the body effect. In addition, to be lower profile of folded loop antenna, Built-in folded dipole antenna, which has a structure folded loop elements sideway so that the antenna can be placed on the ...

In this paper Micro strip Patch Antenna Array are designed and analyzed for WLAN application, which operating at S-band frequency Range of 2.4 GHz. Antenna arrays are used to achieve higher gain. The larger number of antenna elements, the better gain of antenna array is achieved. In this paper feeding element and power divider is used to design the 4 X 1 micro strip patch antenna array. Micro s...

A multi-band microstrip patch antenna is developed and presented in this paper. The radiating elements in this antenna are composed of rectangular and triangular slots. These slots are engraved in the rectangular and triangular patch, joined together in one structure, and by single probe feed. The rectangular and triangular slots make the antenna to operate at multiband with relatively high gai...
