This paper presents a novel narrowband microstrip patch antenna for radar application. The proposed antenna consists of rectangular radiating patch which provides a narrowband behavior and relatively good impedance matching working in the band of 3-12 GHz. A parametric study is performed on three different antenna structures. The measured results give three narrow band stable signal transmissio...

The paper proposes design of an array antenna with proximity coupled feeding at frequency 2.55 GHz. At first, a linearly polarised rectangular patch antenna is discussed. The basic rectangular structure is modified using proximity coupled feed to enhance the impedance bandwidth. Then, in order to introduce circular polarisation, the patch structure is further modified into Split Ring structure....

A compact ultrawideband (UWB) monopole antenna with two U-shaped slots for WLAN and WiMAX dual band-notched functions is proposed and experimentally studied. The proposed antenna with the size of 28mm × 24mm × 1.6mm is excited by a 50Ω microstrip feed line. The band-notch functions are realized by loading two approximate half-wavelength U-shaped slots which change the current distribution on th...

A dual-band circularly polarized antenna fed by four apertures that covers the bands of GPS, Galileo, is introduced. The ARSAs designed using FR4 substrates in the L and S bands have 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidths (ARBWs) of as large as 37% and 52%, respectively, whereas the one using an RT5880 substrate in the L band, 61%. In these 3-dB axial-ratio bands, impedance matching with VSWR<=1.8 is also...

This paper presents the study on a slot-etched rectangular patch antenna directly fed by the 50 Ω semi miniature A-type (SMA) co-axial connector for wireless systems. The dual frequency behaviour by etching the slots on plane patch surface is studied experimentally. The proposed patch antenna has also achieved 28% compactness with a gain of 9.74 dB. Other antenna parameters such as antenna inpu...

Analysis of U-slot loaded patch stacked with H-shaped parasitic elements is given in this paper. It is found that the antenna exhibits dual resonance and both the resonance frequency (upper and lower) depends directly on slot width and inversely on slot length. Both upper and lower resonance frequency increase with increasing the value of h2. Typically the bandwidth at lower and upper resonance...

A compact CPW-fed ultra-wideband antenna with dual band-notch characteristic is presented. Two notched frequency bands are obtained by embedding two U-shaped slots in the radiation patch and a rectangle slot in the ground plane. The two notched bands can be controlled by adjusting the length of the responding slots. The proposed antenna is successfully simulated, fabricated and tested. Experime...
