This paper presents a CPW-fed compact inverted L shaped microstrip antenna for wireless applications. The proposed antenna provides an omni directional radiation pattern and it utilizes the concept of coplanar wave guide (CPW). The main motive is to simplify the structure and to reduce the overall size of the antenna. This is done by loading the inverted L-strip over the conventional monopole p...

Using the sampled data of a desired pattern is a common technique in pattern synthesizing of array factor (AF) of antenna arrays. Based on the obtained data matrix, Least Square Method (LSM) is used to calculate the exciting coefficient of array elements. The most important parameter, which involves the accuracy and complexity of calculation, is the sampling rate of the desired pattern. Classic...

Difference patterns are vital for the successful function of tracking radar employing monopulse techniques to estimate target direction. Traditional monopulse antenna pattern synthesis methods require the use of two independent distributions, e.g., Taylor and Bayliss distributions, for formation of sum and difference patterns for one antenna. Hence, these approaches require a feed network of co...

Ultra wideband (UWB) technology based on the use of very narrow pulses on the order of nanoseconds, covering a very wide bandwidth in the frequency domain, is one of the most promising solutions for future communication systems due to its high-speed data rate and excellent immunity to multipath interference. In this context, the antenna is one of the important components which determine the per...
