Microstrip antennas are used in variety of wireless applications including radars, cellular phones, wireless sensor networks, and in medical applications. The objective of this research is to design a circular patch microstrip phase array antenna which can resonate at UHF i.e. 10 GHz and later on improve the design and include phase steering in this design. Two circular patches with radius of 5...

An excitation technology of TE40 mode for substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and its application in designing a slot antenna array is proposed. In order to excite the TE40 mode, a microstrip power divider and two coupling slots driven by microstrip lines in the longitudinal direction of SIW are designed to convert the electromagnetic field pattern from slot lines to SIW. The advantages of the...

The developed antenna system which designed for mounting in a vehicle is compact, light weight and offers simple satellite-tracking operation. This system uses a microstrip patch array antenna, which includes onboard-power divider and switching circuit for...

This paper presents the design of a 2 x 2 microstrip array antenna suitable for wireless applications. The proposed antenna comprises of 4 rectangular patches where diagonal patches have the same length and width. A larger bandwidth and the desired resonant frequency are achieved because of a reduction in the quality factor (Q) of the patch resonator, which is due to less energy being stored be...

The analysis and new results of the resonance frequency and pattern fields of microstrip antennas array, with superconductor patch, for different very high critical temperatures, are presented. The linear superconducting rectangular microstrip antennas array use the new materials Sn5InBa4Ca2Cu10Oy at temperature of 212 K, conductivity of 1.88x10 S/m and Tl5Ba4Ca2Cu10Oy at temperature of 233 K w...

We demonstrate a class of microstrip patch antennas that are stretchable, mechanically tunable, and reversibly deformable. The radiating element of the antenna consists of highly conductive and stretchable material with screen-printed silver nanowires embedded in the surface layer of an elastomeric substrate. A 3-GHz microstrip patch antenna and a 6-GHz 2-element patch array are fabricated. Rad...

This paper presents the bandwidth and gain enhancement of microstrip patch antenna using EBG for X band (10 Ghz) application. The surface waves must be suppressed to increase the bandwidth and gain by using EBG. By using EBG the stop band characteristics is created over certain frequency and that has been adapted to suppress the surface wave and to enhance the gain and bandwidth of the antenna ...

This paper presents the design and implementation of a new adaptive dual-antenna array for mitigation of both interference and multipath effects in digital mobile communications at the handset level. This proposed system employs a nonlinear adaptive algorithm in the front end of the receiver to enhance the transmission quality in confined areas. The enhancement is blind since no priori knowledg...

A new Sierpienski & Crown Square Fractal Shapes Slotted Microstrip Patch Antenna is proposed. A patch antenna is a narrowband, wide-beam antenna. These antennas are low profile, conformal to planar and non-planar surface, simple and inexpensive to manufacture using modern printed circuit technology, mechanically robust when mounted on rigid surface, compatible with MMIC designs and when the par...

Recently, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) has become popular research topic among researchers for development of a new wireless communications technology. The system capacity can be increase with deployment of MIMO technique in the communications system. Thus, the used of high frequency bandwidth can be avoid since this method required high cost implementation. High transmitted power also...
