The paper presents best matching between simulated and measured results of broadband Rectangular Patch Microstrip Antenna with Rhombus Shaped Slot (RPMARSS) for the WLAN Application. This antenna is designed on glass epoxy FR-4 substrate. The performance of this antenna is also compared with that of a simple rectangular patch antenna. The simulated results of this antenna are optimized by varyi...

A bow-tie slot antenna with tapered connection to a 50Ω coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed line is introduced and its dimensional parameters have been studied for wideband operations in the X-band. A set of two element bow-tie slot antennas fed by one CPW is also introduced for wider bandwidth and improved gain. The configuration of one CPW feeding two elements of this antenna is simulated and it ac...

A compact circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna using a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) unit-cell is proposed. The CRLH TL unitcell includes a complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) for shunt inductance and a gap loaded with a circularshaped slot for series capacitance. The CSRR can decrease the TM10 mode resonance frequency, thus reducing the electrical size of t...

Antennas conformal to a Cubesat surface have many advantages compared to deployed antennas. This study presents two types of conformal antennas that do not compete for the expensive surface real estate with solar cell. The first type of antenna is optically transparent antennas integrated directly on top of commercial solar cells. The second solution is slot antennas that can be placed around s...

A printed Bow-Tie slot antenna with loaded stub is proposed and the effects of changing the dimensions of the slot area, the stub and load sizes are considered in this paper. These parameters have a considerable effect on the antenna characteristics as well as its performance. An in-depth parametric study of these dimensions is presented. This paper proposes the necessary conditions for initial...

This paper shows the comparative analysis of a cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) fed by nonresonant microstrip patch and a proximity-fed planar annular slot (PPAS) antenna. The antenna array having an antenna element for higher directive gain at the center frequency 9.04 GHz. The band-notch is detained by almost a half-wavelength split-ring parasitic element printed around the rad...

The single-feed design of compact microstrip patch antenna with a rectangular ring slot has been demonstrated and results are presented. Simply by inserting a narrow slot of proper length and width on the patch surface, a bandwidth of 330 MHz (9.04 %) with a gain of 2.93 dB is achieved. Results also indicate that, at fixed operating frequency, the proposed design has good omni-directional radia...

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...

A novel type of circularly polarized broadband antenna consisting of a modified circular wideslot aperture and an L-shaped feed probe is introduced. The modified circular wide-slot is partially covered to generate circular polarization with broadband characteristics in the axial ratio. Variations in both the axial ratio and the S11 characteristics of the device are investigated and radiation pa...
