Compact shorted 1350 Sectoral microstrip antenna derived from 2700 Sectoral microstrip antenna is proposed. On thicker air substrate (h > 0. 1?0) it yields bandwidth of more than 350 MHz (35%). To increase the bandwidth, its rectangular slot cut variation is proposed. The slot reduces the resonance frequency of higher order TM1/4,1 mode of the shorted patch and along with fundamental TM1/4,0 mo...

In modern wireless communication systems, small circularly polarized microstrip antennas with good performance are desirable mainly at low microwave frequencies. The radio frequency identification (RFID) systems in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band have gained much interest in many services [Finkenzeller2004]. The reader antenna is one of the important components in the RFID reader system and...

In this paper, a novel microstrip-fed compact antenna with triple band-notched characteristics is presented for ultrawideband (UWB) applications. The antenna consists of a circular radiating patch, a 50 Ω microstrip feed line, a partially slotted ground plane, and a pair of modified capacitance loaded loop (MCLL) resonators. The novel resonators are symmetrically located in the vicinity of the ...

The design, construction and basic characteristics of an electronically steered, adaptive phased array antenna for land mobile satellite communications are described. The antenna system includes an array of six microstrip stacked patch antennas, each connected to an RF channel, which include an MMIC Low Noise Amplifier and a commercial silicon monolithic I-Q modulator. A 6-way microstrip combin...

The microstrip patch is one of the most preferred antenna structures for low cost and compact design for wireless system and RF application. Dual-Band antennas are of a relative interest since they can support multiple communication systems. In this paper we present design of a novel compact small size microstrip antenna suitable for dual-band operations. By loading properly arranged slots on a...

In recent years, great interest was focused on microstrip antennas for their small and good performance. With the continuous growth of wireless communication communication equipment, there are higher and higher demands feed single layer compact rectangular microstrip antenna application is proposed in this paper. Two L slits are introduced at edge of the patch to reduce the resonant frequency. ...

In this paper, we propose a small switched-beam antenna for mobile terminal. This kind of antenna is a single compact slot antenna fed by microstrip line. This proposed antenna provides three different radiation patterns. The antenna is designed to cover 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS; 1.922.17 GHz). Its advantage is small of size and easy to manufacture. The performance of...

The single-feed design of compact microstrip patch antenna with a rectangular ring slot has been demonstrated and results are presented. Simply by inserting a narrow slot of proper length and width on the patch surface, a bandwidth of 330 MHz (9.04 %) with a gain of 2.93 dB is achieved. Results also indicate that, at fixed operating frequency, the proposed design has good omni-directional radia...

This paper presents a dual band aperture coupled stacked microstrip antenna with the introduction of an air gap 3 mm between the ground plane and the upper layer substrate for WLAN applications. The nominal antenna has – 10 dB return loss bandwidth of 134.8 MHz and 384.9 MHz at lower band resonant frequency of 3.905 GHz and upper band resonant frequency of 5.36 GHz respectively. The gain of the...
