Planar antenna reflectors are the modern design trend of both multibeam and frequency-scanning arrays. The planar implementation is typically performed using substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. A reflector’s profile can be different from canonical one (parabolic, elliptic, hyperbolic, etc.) because effect spatial dispersion reflection coefficient SIW-based surface. It should synthe...

This paper addresses an NP-hard design optimization problem in a multibeam satellite communication system. consists designing irregular beam layouts to satisfy non-uniform user traffic demands over the service area, under antenna constraints, payload constraints and telecommunication mission criterion. Efficiently solving this is of crucial importance due its impact on system performance cost. ...

In this paper, a novel CPW-fed antenna is presented for UWB applications. The antenna mainly comprises of a simple circular patch and a modified ground plane. The inclusion of two novel symmetrical rectangular slots with inner area of 3×2.8 mm2 to the top corners of the antenna creates a new path for the current and consequently leads to the bandwidth enhancement. A rectangular stub is also ado...

In this study, a radiation pattern reconfigurable microstrip antenna is designed and fabricated. The antenna’s radiation pattern is directed in 9 different angles by employing a radiating patch and embedding complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) on the ground plane. The radiating patch is of circular shape, while for CSRR elements both circular and rectangular shapes are investigated. The ...

In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...
