After the release of the unlicensed Ultra Wideband (UWB) spectrum 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for the commercial purposes by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), industries and academia pay much attention due to its properties of excellent immunity to multi-path interference, high secured data rate, low power consumption, and simple configuration. The feasible UWB antenna design face some chall...

In this paper, we study a Dielectric Resonator Antenna of cylindrical shape with circular polarization for applications in the C band. The proposed antenna is composed of two different layers. The first is Polyflon Polyguide with relative permittivity εr1 = 2.32 and a loss tangent tanδ = 0.002 as a lower layer. The second is Rogers RO3010 with relative permittivity εr2 = 10.2 and a loss tangent...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to design and implementation a single feed, dual frequency ( L1, L2) patch antenna for the Global Positioning System (GPS). The results from the simulation and measurement for this antenna is presented, compared, and used as part of the validation process for the dual frequency, right hand circularly polarized patch antenna designed for GPS L1, L2 operati...

A low cost 4  4 butler matrix fed antenna array has been proposed for Ku band applications. At high frequencies, the ohmic and dielectric losses are high and also the undesired feed radiation is more in the case of microstrip line feed, therefore substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) has been used to feed the antenna elements. The implementation of SIW technology improved the radiation performa...

The microstrip antenna is one of the best antenna structures, due to its low cost and compact design. In this paper, a coaxial feed circularly polarized square patch antenna is designed using the U-slot. The proposed antenna is suited for the RFID readers in the SHF band. This structure of antenna of FR4 substrate (dielectric constant = 3.5), is capable to cover the range of frequency of 2.4 to...

This paper presents the design of a wheel shaped multiband fractal Antenna. This Fractal antenna has been designed on substrate εr = 4.3 and thickness h = 1.53 mm. This new antenna has been fed with CPW – Fed. The antenna exhibits the multiband resonances due to selfsimilarity in antenna structure. The experimental results indicate that resonant frequencies occur at 1.34 GHz, 2.575 GHz, 4.22 GH...

In our paper, an inset-fed microstrip patch antenna has been designed and the dependency of resonant frequency on the notch gap and the feed line geometry has been studied. Our study suggests that a narrower notch resulted in better impedance matching. A design rule has also been formulated and presented the performance of the proposed design. Key-Words: Inset-fed, microstrip antenna

This paper proposes a novel approach to reduce size and increase the impedance bandwidth of microstrip UWB (Ultra-Wideband) antenna, when using a thick substrate, so that it can be used for WPAN application, especially for mobile and portable devices.The application of gap-coupled capacitive feeding mechanism for achieving UWB with microstrip antenna has also been proposed.. The proposed antenn...

Abstract—A broadband dual-feed dual-polarized microstrip antenna with low cross polarization and high isolation is presented. The dualorthogonal linearly polarized mode is excited by two different feed mechanisms from a single circular radiating patch. One of the two modes is excited by a pair of L-shaped probes with a 180◦ phase differences, and the other is excited by an H-shaped aperture. Th...

A low-profile wideband circularly polarized aperture stacked patch (ASP) antenna without air dielectric layers is presented. The new circular ASP antenna, which is fed by two orthogonal dual-offset lines through an asymmetric crossed slot, delivers a wide bandwidth of 80% for the 10-dB return loss and similar input impedance characteristics for the two ports. Then, a novel broadband 90◦ hybrid ...
