in this paper a new low profile substrate integrated waveguide (siw) probe-fed h-plane horn antenna structure with improved gain is proposed. the proposed antenna consists of two waveguides including a rectangular and a taper one, in which both, first and third modes of the structure are simultaneously excited leading to a uniform field distribution along the radiating aperture of the antenna a...

There are many methods for mitigating GNSS multipath errors. However, none of them completely eliminate the effects of multipath or suit all GNSS applications. A new class of multipath mitigation methods exploit new dualpolarization antenna technology. GNSS signals received 140 23rd International Technical Meeting of the Satellite Division of The Institute of Navigation, Portland, OR, September...

In this paper we introduce the incorporation of magneto-electric materials into antenna design and the potential of controlling the behavior of the antenna by means of an external magnetic field. After an intensive study of magneto-electric material properties, a ferrimagnetic compound called Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) was found to be the best candidate for the novel antenna design. We provide a...

In this paper, a compact band-notched UWB planar antenna with Transmission-Line-fed is presented and I’m using a new technique by etching a narrowband resonance H-shape slot in the ground plane of the antenna. This antenna is capable reducing the interference at the WLAN bands by eliminating the 4.85–6.17 GHz band. The proposed antenna has compact size of 16 × 22 mm2 including the ground plane ...

A microstrip-fed printed bow-tie antenna is presented in order to achieve wide bandwidth, high gain, and size reduction. A comparison between the bow-tie and the quasi-Yagi (dipole and director) antennas shows that the bow-tie antenna has a wider bandwidth, higher gain, lower front-to-back ratio, lower cross-polarization level, and smaller size. Two-element arrays are designed and their charact...

A compact design of a circularly-polarized (CP) antenna to achieve wide-band behavior for WiMax applications is presented. Single feed is used to excite a single-layered square patch integrated with a novel Y-shaped slot and two different truncated corners to achieve CP polarization. Besides its structural simplicity, ease of fabrication and low cost, the proposed antenna features a satisfactor...

This paper introduces a novel compact wideband CPWfed slot antenna comprising of an E-shaped patch that is excited with a trident shaped feed-line structure. The antenna design exhibits a very wide operating bandwidth of over 168% with S11 < −10 dB in the frequency range 1.6 to 18.9GHz. The antenna’s radiation characteristics are stable across this wide bandwidth. The proposed antenna exhibits ...

The performance of a circularly polarized edge truncated elliptical patch microstrip antenna has been investigated experimentally in free space and has been compared with the performance of a conventional elliptical patch antenna. Extensive optimizations in feed locations and in edge lengths along major and minor axes of conventional elliptical patch antenna have been carried out to achieve bes...

In this paper, a parametric study of conventional Uniplanar Compact Photonic Band Gap (UC-PBG) structures, with different dimensions, is investigated. The studied structure operates as an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) in which the performance is mainly characterized by the resonant frequency and bandwidth. Simulation and numerical analysis have been carried out using CST Microwave Studio ...

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...
