This article proposes an approach to increase the efficiency of the U-shaped cross section antenna. The Optimization of a wideband U-shaped cross section antenna on a U-shaped ground plane is presented suitable for WLAN in various applications. The proposed antenna has been developed from a single element of U-shaped cross-sectional antenna. A single element is easy to be composed for installin...

A new planar monopole antenna which covers 3G, Bluetooth, WiMAX, and the UWB bands and also exhibits dual band-notched characteristic is presented. Presented antenna consist a square radiating patch with a pair of L-shaped slits, and two U-shaped slot and a ground pale with a V-shaped strip. The proposed antenna has been successfully simulated and measured. Experimental results shows that the p...

In this paper, we present a fractal shape slot based patch antenna for multiband operations. The fractal shape slot is designed on the rectangular patch and the antenna is fed through a microstrip line. The proposed design and feeding technique allows the antenna to operate at multiple frequencies in the range of 120 GHz. It is demonstrated through simulation that the Return Loss (RL) values oc...

A new Sierpienski & Crown Square Fractal Shapes Slotted Microstrip Patch Antenna is proposed. A patch antenna is a narrowband, wide-beam antenna. These antennas are low profile, conformal to planar and non-planar surface, simple and inexpensive to manufacture using modern printed circuit technology, mechanically robust when mounted on rigid surface, compatible with MMIC designs and when the par...

This research involves the overlaps of antenna theory, fractal geometry, and numerical calculations. Its goal is to investigate how random or periodic antenna array geometry can be improved through the use of fractals. Using a program we developed in Matlab, we plotted the radiation of linear/planar antenna arrays. We were able to correctly analyze radiation of three two-dimensional arrays. Ano...

In this paper, a novel compact and wideband fylfot-shaped planar monopole antenna is proposed. The fylfot-shaped is suggested to reduce the volume of a general crossed planar monopole antenna. The volume of the proposed antenna is about 1/4 of a general crossed planar monopole antenna under the conditions where the wideband characteristics are maintained. This technique is suitable for the desi...

Local Lyapunov exponents of the quasi-geostrophic ocean dynamics.

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 ...
