Proposed is a new simple technique for achieving band rejection characteristics in ultra-wideband monopole antennas. Two band notches were added to an existing UWB antenna by gluing a padding patch printed on a small single-layer piece of commercial substrate. The design of the new proposed structure has a controllable rejection in the 5 GHz WLAN and 8 GHz ITU frequencies while maintaining a wi...

A wideband published slot antenna appropriate for wireless code division multiple access (WCDMA) and sustaining the international interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications is planned here. The antenna is fractal line fed and its construction is based on fractal geometry where the resonance frequency of antenna is dropped by applying iteration methods. Fractal antennas are the m...

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 ...

A novel compact UWB antenna with 3.5/5.5 GHz dual notch-band characteristics is presented. The proposed antenna has a simple structure and compact size of 30 × 35mm2. Firstly, a compact modified rotated monopole antenna that covers UWB band is achieved. Then by inserting a λ/4 stub and etching two symmetrical λ/4 L-shape slots on the UWB antenna achieved before, a dual band-notched ultra-wideba...

The spatial domain information of the propagation is extremely important to take into account the antenna systems in the wireless broadband systems. This paper describes the concept and the modeling of the double-directional spatio-temporal channel for wideband and ultra-wideband wireless systems. The research activities toward the establishment of the channel model in Tokyo Tech are also descr...

A concept for wideband electronic steered array using analogue FIR-filters has been formulated. This paper focuses on microwave applications, e.g. wideband antenna radiation pattern, where we explain the design of a desired radiation pattern for bandwidth 2:1. Therefore we consider a linear narrowband radiation pattern and expand it to a wideband array synthesis. The requirements for higher ban...

This paper is focused on a wireless energy harvesting system using a rectifying antenna (rectenna). The proposed device consists of a wideband cross-dipole antenna, a microwave low-pass filter and a doubling rectifying circuit using Shottcky diodes as rectifying elements. Previously, a few of wideband rectennas have been investigated at 1.7 to 2.5 GHz. The originality of this paper is on the ne...
