Abstract: In this paper a novel radial stub feeding microstrip bow-tie antenna is designed to operate between C and X band and its performance characterization is presented. This antenna is having simple structure and topology over other stub loaded antennas. In addition the proposed antenna adjusts to the desired frequency easily. Antenna output parameters like radiation pattern, axial ratio, ...

Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) have received increased interest in recent years for their potential applications in microwave and millimeter wave communication systems. DRAs are normally used with the support of a ground plane. The radiation and impedance properties therefore depend not only on their physical dimensions and dielectric properties, but also on the size of the ground plane. ...

A compact Ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with bandnotched characteristic is presented in this paper. It has compact size of 30 mm x 31mm and has ultra wide band operation. A ‘C’ shaped slot was introduced to achieve band notch function from 4.8 GHz to 6 GHz to avoid interference from WLAN. The proposed antenna has ultra wide band frequency range from 3 GHz to 11.5 GHz for return loss below -10 dB...

Microstrip antenna is gathering a lot of interest in communication systems. Genetic algorithm is a popular optimization technique and has been introduced for design optimization of proximity coupled antenna. Patch length, patch width are taken as optimization parameters. Return loss and radiation pattern for the optimized antenna are verified using IE3D software. Accuracy of the results encoura...

We have observed that the size and shape of the conducting reflector of CPW-fed slot antennas using loading metallic strips and a widened tuning stub have significant impact on the antenna impedance matching and radiation pattern. By shaping the reflecting conductor, noticeable enhancements in both radiation pattern which provides uni-directional all frequency operating band and characteristic ...

A compact cross, circular and square shaped slotted microstrip patch antennas are designed for circularly polarized (CP) radiation. Asymmetric, cross-shaped slot is embedded along one of the diagonal axes of the square patch for CP radiation and antenna size reduction. The designed antenna is contrived by using RT-Durid 5880 substrate . The design simulation and optimization is done by ADS soft...

A Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) is theoretically analyzed using the Conventional Dielectric Waveguide Model (CDWM), numerically simulated using the High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) software package and experimentally investigated with the consideration of the fundamental mode TE 111.

A theoretical model to analyze the performance of a circular polarization microstrip antenna printed on a conical surface is presented. The radiation pattern of the antenna is simulated by the radiation from its four radiating edges (two axial and two circumferential). The electromagnetic field is expanded in terms of spherical wave modes and it is shown that the circular polarization is obtain...

In recent years, a large number of dual-band antennas have been developed for wireless applications [1]-[6]. Most of these dual-band antennas are used for mobile terminals, such as cellular phones or laptop computers. For such applications, the desirable radiation patterns are usually omnidirectional. A unidirectional radiation pattern is sometime required for wireless base station and/or acces...
