A bow-tie slot antenna with tapered connection to a 50Ω coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed line is introduced and its dimensional parameters have been studied for wideband operations in the X-band. A set of two element bow-tie slot antennas fed by one CPW is also introduced for wider bandwidth and improved gain. The configuration of one CPW feeding two elements of this antenna is simulated and it ac...

This paper presents a multiband slot antenna with modifying fractal geometry fed by coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line. The presented antenna has been designed by modifying an inner fractal patch of the antenna to operate at multiple resonant frequencies, which effectively supports the digital communication system (DCS 1.71–1.88 GHz), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiM...

In this paper a CPW-fed annular slot antenna is miniaturized with enhanced impedance bandwidth using a reactive impedance surface (RIS) substrate. The RIS is realized by patterning 3× 3 array of circular elements over an inexpensive FR-4 substrate which is backed by a circular metallic plane. Due to the compensation of electric and magnetic energy stored by antenna and RIS substrate respectivel...

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a collection of sensor nodes organized into a cooperative network. These nodes communicate through a wireless antenna. Reduction in physical size and multiband operation is an important requirement of WSN antenna. Fractal antenna is used for miniaturization and multiband operation. The self-similar or self-affine and space filling property of fractal geometry ...

In recent years, wireless communications have progressed very rapidly. In order to provide with large bandwidth for any wireless application, wideband antenna design has become very important. In the reported literature [1-2], some of CPW-fed and microstrip-line-fed wide-slot antennas have been proposed for the wideband operation. The impedance bandwidths of the wide-slot designs [1-2] can reac...

Various Coplanar Waveguide fed microstrip antennas with different ground planes and different radiating patches for broader bandwidth are proposed. The effect of changing periphery of the radiating patch from square to pentagon, pentagon to hexagon, hexagon to octagon and octagon to circle on resonance curve is studied. Similar study has been done by changing the shape of ground plane. The conf...

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed Ultra Wideband (UWB) slot antenna with reconfigurable rejection bands is presented in this paper. The antenna has a rectangular slot with triangular structure that acts as a tuning stub with CPW feed. The notch band is achieved by inserting a rectangular slot in the ground plane with a length of λ/2. The rejection of the bands 3.1 GHz – 3.9 GHz, 4 GHz–5.3 GHz and ...

A novel method of introducing a notch at a point of high magnetic field in a coplanar waveguide (cpw) radial and diamond stub resonator to increase the quality factor (Q) was analysed. For comparison both radial and diamond shaped cpw resonators with and without notches were fabricated on gallium arsenide (GaAs) semi-insulating substrate at the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre and tested in th...
