A novel printed octagonal fractal microstrip antenna with semi-elliptical ground plane is presented for ultra wide band applications. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 20×20×1 mm³. The measured result of the antenna exhibits the ultra wide band characteristics from 2/9 to 14/2 GHz. In this paper, reducing antenna’s size by 35%, the same results were achieved, while small dimension frac...

A modified circular patch antenna design has been proposed in this paper, the bandwidth of this antenna is optimized using the genetic algorithm (GA) based on fuzzy decision-making. This design is simulated with HP HFSS Program that based on finite element method. This method is employed for analysis at the frequency band of 1.4 GHz- 2.6 GHz. It gives good impedance bandwidth of the order o...

This article describes a novel spherical lens antenna constructed of planar layers lightweight foam with equally spaced conducting inclusions varying sizes on an orthogonal grid. construction largely overcomes the problems weight and cost that have tended to make larger low-frequency Luneburg lenses impractical. A penalty for this type design is some anisotropy exists in lens's dielectric. effe...

In this article, we present a new design of a coplanar waveguide fed (CPW-fed) ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with dual band-notched characteristics. Two notched frequency bands are achieved by using two inverted U-shaped stepped impedance resonators. The proposed antenna can operate from 2.82 to 11 GHz (118%), defined by VSWR< 2, except two notched bands around 3.5 GHz (WiMAX) and 5.5 GHz (WLAN)...

The Parkes multibeam pulsar survey is a high-frequency, fast-sampled survey of the Galactic Plane, expected to discover at least 500 new pulsars. To date, over 200 pulsars have been found, including several young pulsars and at least one with a very high magnetic field. Seven of the new stars are in binary systems; this number includes one probable double-neutron-star system, and one pulsar wit...

This work focuses on the promising Rate-Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA) and its beamforming design problem to achieve max-min fairness (MMF) among multiple co-channel multicast groups with imperfect channel state information at transmitter (CSIT). Contrary conventional linear precoding (NoRS) that relies fully treating any residual interference as noise, we consider a novel multigroup strategy...

in this paper, a novel directional super wide band micro strip antenna based on a simple and new geometry has been proposed. the antenna exhibits the widest bandwidth ever reported to the authors’ knowledge from 50 ghz to 200 ghz. its radiation pattern is approximately steady in the frequency ranges of 50 ghz to 200 ghz. the antenna consists of a club-like radiating patch, a combination of thre...

This paper presents a novel unified multibeam satellite system model for the performance analysis of different satellite payloads. The model allows the analysis in terms of Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and CoChannel Interference (CCI). Specifically we formulate the SINR as a function of the multibeam geometry for a given user location granularity. Furthermore, we apply our mod...
