A uniplanar leaky-wave antenna (LWA) suitable for operation at millimeter-wave frequencies is introduced. Both unidirectional and bidirectional versions of the antenna are presented. The proposed structure consists of a coplanar waveguide fed linear array of closely spaced capacitive transverse slots. This configuration results in a fast-wave structure in which the = 0 spatial harmonic radiates...

This article presents a 2×1 CPW ultra wideband rectangular slot antenna array (UWB-RSAA) with modified circular shape to support high data rate for wireless communications applications. The proposed dimensions are 0.7λ×0.8λo×0.064λo at the resonant frequency 1.8 GHz. It is fabricated on Rogers RO4003 substrate and fed by using coplanar waveguide (CPW).

Microstrip antennas are widely used in many applications due to their low profile, low cost and ease of fabrication. In some applications it is desired to have a dual band or multiband characteristics. These characteristics can be obtained by coupling multiple radiating elements or by using tuning devices such as varactor diodes [1, 2]. However, these methods make antenna more complicated. A si...

A novel design of a temple shaped printed slot antenna for circular polarization applications is presented in this paper. The slot, half trapezoidal and half semi-circular in shape, is excited by a 50 Ω CPW feed terminated with a tuning stub. Modifications of the initial design for improving return loss and circular polarization characteristics are proposed and discussed. The antenna is very co...

In this paper, design and analysis of two compact coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed ultra wideband (UWB) slot antenna is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular slot on a ground plane and a triangular patch and another semi-circular patch at the interior portion of the feed that acts as tuning stub of the antenna. The return loss of the developed antenna are measured and compared, ...

Abstract—A novel horizontally polarized (HP) antenna with omnidirectional pattern is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna applies the concept of rotating electric field method to conventional slot dipoles. Two CPW-fed slot dipoles are placed in a perpendicularly conjugate form. By properly arranging the magnitude and phase of input signals, the omnidirectional pattern can be synthesize...

A broadband circularly polarized (CP) slot antenna array fed by an asymmetric coplanar waveguide (CPW) with stepped and inverted T-shaped strips is proposed. Using four square slot antenna elements with sequential rotation oblique feed and a modified sequential-phase (SP) feeding network, broadband CP can be achieved. The measured −10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth and 3 dB axial ratio (AR...

The presented paper exhibits the design configuration of Microstrip Line (MS)-fed and Co-Planar Waveguide (CPW)-fed symmetrical staircase shaped, planar monopole Ultra Wideband (UWB) antennae with WLAN band rejection characteristic having sized 30x30x1.6mm. The staircase pattern in the radiating patch and the feed line’s Ushaped slot are used to achieve the UWB and notch the 5GHz WLAN band, res...

For WLAN/WIMAX applications, a brand-new tree-shaped metamaterial-loaded microstrip antenna is suggested. The reduced ground plane size and 4.4 dielectric constant (r) 0.02 loss tangent (δ) are used to manufacture the 15 × 16 1.6 mm3 antenna. Two X-shaped slots added achieve characteristics needed for WIMAX applications at 5.5 GHz. Additionally, split-ring resonator structure increase its bandw...
