The design of a novel CPW-fed printed slot-loop antenna with narrowband omnidirectional attributes is proposed. The antenna geometry is selected to reduce slot coupling, thus achieving both a narrow bandwidth and an omnidirectional radiation pattern simultaneously. A gain of 2.1 dBi is accomplished with high radiation efficiency. Very narrow fractional impedance bandwidths as low as 2.9% are re...

It is very common that when a broadcaster needs to install an FM transmitting antenna within a large metropolitan area he places it on the tallest structure or building available. When the rooftop is already occupied by a large number of other types of transmitting and receiving antennas, the panel dipole antenna should be chosen. This antenna is secured to the side walls of the upper floors wi...

An extreamly large scale periodic array antenna is required for the power transmission in the space solar power systems. Analysis of the array antenna is important to estimate radiation property of the array antenna, but a full-wave analysis requires too much computer memory and too long CPU time. In order to overcome this difficulty, the impedance extension method is proposed as a method of ap...

In this paper a novel biconical antenna geometry has been proposed that has directive radiation pattern, higher gain and enhanced front to back ratio. Wide band performance is another characteristic of this new antenna.

A frequency tunable ring dielectric resonator antenna is presented in the paper. Advantages of the proposed antenna design are the wide range of adjustments and increasing of the radiation efficiency. The basic antenna characteristics, and also analysis of dependencies of the antenna’s central operating frequency, voltage standing wave ratio and radiation pattern versus the relative position of...

Theoretical and experimental results of a wide-band planar antenna are presented. This antenna can achieve a wide bandwidth, low cross-polarization levels, and low backward radiation levels. For wide bandwidth and easy integration with active circuits, it uses aperture-coupled stacked square patches. The coupling aperture is an H-shaped aperture. Based on the finite-difference time-domain metho...

This paper presents the development of an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) monopole antenna with dual band notch characteristics. Modified crown-square shaped fractal slots in the ground-plane are implemented to enhance the impedance bandwidth to around 58% as compared to conventional square monopole antenna without slots. Impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is approximately 114% with Voltage stan...
