The conductor-backed asymmetrical coplanar waveguide or micro-coplanar strip (MCS) line has been analyzed. The conformal mapping method is used to calculate the quasistatic effective permittivity εeff and characteristic impedance Z0. The computed results of the present work are found to be in good agreement when compared with the results obtained using the method reported by Yamashita et al. [1...

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with dual notched band characteristics is presented in this paper. The circular wide slot and circular radiation patch are utilized to broaden the impedance bandwidth of the UWB antenna. The dual notched band functions are achieved by employing two stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) which etched on the circular radiation patch and CPW...

In this paper, we present a novel broadband bandpass filter based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) in the microwave frequency band. The proposed bandpass filter includes three parts: (1) coplanar waveguide (CPW); (2) matching transition; and (3) coupled structure that is an asymmetric coupled filter constructed by five grooved strips. The proposed bandpass filter realizes excellent l...

Abstract—A planar, circular monopole antenna (PCMA) with satisfactory radiation characteristics over an ultra-broadband is demonstrated. Compared to the classical coplanar-waveguide (CPW) fed PCMA, the radiation characteristics of the proposed CPW-fed PCMA are significantly improved, particularly at the frequencies around the higher band edge. This improvement is achieved by exploiting a tapere...

In this paper we proposed the estimation of the characteristic impedance, effect of dispersion, and the effective dielectric constant of Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) using conformal mapping theory and performances are analyzed. Numerically efficient and accurate formulae based on the conformal mapping method for the analysis of coplanar waveguide structures are presented. The analysis formulas for ...

A novel compact CPW-fed printed dipole antenna is proposed for dual-band Ultra wide band (UHF) RFID and wireless local area network (WLAN) operations. This antenna consist of two dipole elements and it covers 2.53 GHz Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID and 5.2 GHZ WLAN IEEE 802.11 Standards. The return loss, radiation pattern, field pattern, linear and circular polarization components are simulate...

We report on a metamolecule antenna, based on a fish-scale design but augmented with two split-ring resonators (SRRs) placed within the fish-scale loops. The properties of the antenna resonator, with and without additional SRRs, were examined using finite element method simulations (COMSOL Multiphysics). The simulation findings were subsequently confirmed experimentally, using a vector network ...
