In the present paper notch loaded shorted microstrip patch antenna has been analyzed using cavity model. The proposed antenna shows dual band operation which depends on notch dimensions as well as shorting pin. The frequency ratio is found to be 1.75 for the notch loaded circular patch antenna. The theoretical results are compared with IE3D simulation.

This paper presents a reconfigurable two-port circular patch antenna that improves the performance of a MIMO wireless communications system through pattern diversity. Different modes of the circular patch antenna can be excited by varying its radius with PIN diode switches. Based on this antenna architecture a practical algorithm that exploits the wireless channel spatial selectivity to select ...

Structural optimization using computational tools has become a major research field in recent years. The paper deals with a sizing optimization analysis of laminated circular cylindrical shell. For thin-walled shells, the classical shell theory is capable of accurately predicting the shell behavior. The weight minimization subjected to displacement constraint within the numerical optimization o...

In this paper, a frequency reconfigurable circular antenna design and development is proposed for wireless devices. In the proposed design, a circular patch antenna with circular slot using two PIN diodes at the centre frequency 10 GHz was designed and simulated frequency reconfiguration is achieved in the frequency range of 9.69-10.2 GHz and the measured results shows the same effect in the fr...

Abstract—A functional microstrip circuit module for annular slot antenna is proposed. This module consists of an annular microstrip line component, two PIN diodes and a DC bias circuit. Reconfigurable circular polarizations can be simply controlled by this functional module. Axial ratio is adjustable by changing the clip angle of the notch made by the annular microstrip line component. Simulate...

A single-layer, bandpass, active FSS is presented. It shows good angle of incidence stability for TE incidence, at the operating frequency of 2.45 GHz. It is based on circular loop aperture with each unit cell having four PIN diodes. A novel method for dc biasing is used. About 12 dB average variation in transmission loss, between ON and OFF states, has been experimentally achieved at 2.45 GHz.
