The time domain modeling of a coplanar wave guide (CPW) fed band-notched antenna for Ultra Wide band (UWB) applications is presented. The annular ring antenna has a dimension of 36x36 mm when printed on a substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness 1.6 mm. The uniplanar nature and compact structure of the antenna make it apt for modular design. The crescent shaped slot provides a notch i...

A compact triple band rectangular microstrip antenna (RMSA) for WLAN / WiMAX applications is proposed. The antenna operates at three resonance frequencies 2.4/3.2/3.5GHz Covering the WLAN/ WiMAX operating bands, IEEE WLAN protocol 802.11 b/g employs 2.4 GHz and WiMAX 3.5 GHz. The antenna was studied by means of simulations as well as practical measurements. The Triple band characteristics of an...

The low cost, high efficiency, single-feed microstrip antenna with a two-layer substrate for circular polarization (CP) is presented. A new CP design of a singlefeed nearly square patch with two truncated square corners is also described here. The two-layer substrate consists of an FR4 dielectric layer and a foam layer. The effects of the foam substrate on the impedance bandwidth, axial ratio, ...

A compact Vivaldi antenna array printed on thick substrate and fed by a Substrate Integrated Waveguides (SIW) structure has been developed. The antenna array utilizes a compact SIW binary divider to significantly minimize the feed structure insertion losses. The low-loss SIW binary divider has a common novel Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (GCPW) feed to provide a wideband transition to the SIW and...

In this article design and optimization of square printed monopole antenna for wireless application is proposed. Theory of characteristics mode (TCM) is used for analysis of current modes on the antenna. TCM analysis shows that beveled ground plane improves the impedance bandwidth. The antenna operates over the frequency range from 1.860 GHz to 5 GHz for a VSWR ≤ 2, covering the GSM (1900-1990M...
