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 ...

Two antenna designs were achieved for dual and wide band operation in wireless systems. One design was realized using a tapered meander slot with a microstrip feed to give dual band operation at 1.8 and 2.4 GHz. In this design both operating frequencies are controlled mainly by the horizontal slot width of the meander and the distance of the microstrip line termination from the slot. The other ...

This paper presents the design, development and experimental characterization of a monolithic phased array antenna integrated on a microwave laminate. A four-element linear antenna array is realized by cofabricating the corporate feed network, microstrip-CPW transitions, DC blocks, and mesoscale phase shifters on the same substrate. The phase shifters used here are electrostatically actuated an...

The presented paper exhibits the design configuration of Microstrip Line (MS)-fed and Co-Planar Waveguide (CPW)-fed symmetrical staircase shaped, planar monopole Ultra Wideband (UWB) antennae with WLAN band rejection characteristic having sized 30x30x1.6mm. The staircase pattern in the radiating patch and the feed line’s Ushaped slot are used to achieve the UWB and notch the 5GHz WLAN band, res...

This paper presents a novel coplanar waveguide (CPW) dual pass band and triple pass band filter using the split-modes of the loaded stub square loop resonators. With the CPW feeding line, two micro strip stub resonators built on the rear sides are used to suppress resonance. We have designed our filter on the FR4 substrate (permittivity = 4. 4 and loss tangent=0. 02) with 20x50mm square and thi...

In order to improve the coverage and reliability of information perception layer power Internet things, a method constructing cross fusion network low-voltage line micro-power wireless communication (CPW) is proposed. Firstly, unified medium access control (MAC) model CPW established provide basic support for realizing integration layers; then an improved ant colony algorithm combining Brownian...

This paper describes the design, realization and experimental measurements of an antenna element to operate at ultra-wideband (UWB) spectrum. The type of this antenna is a circular disk monopole (CDM), with two notches opposite to each other at two sides of the disk. The feed of the antenna is a coplanar waveguide (CPW). The effect of the presence of the notches is studied through simulations a...

Whenever a balanced antenna (i.e., dipole, loop or spiral) is used, the issue of how to feed the antenna becomes relevant. Because a balanced antenna requires a balanced feed, a balun is needed. A balanced antenna fed by a two-wire transmission line is a balanced system with respect to the lines, provided that the two feed points on the balanced antenna have the same orientation and placement w...

A new ultawideband circular fractal antenna with notched-band characteristics is presented. A notched-band characteristic is achieved by employing a U-shape slot in 50 Ω feed lines. The ultra-wideband impedance matching and compact size have been obtained by using CPW-feed technique and the fractal concept. The measured result of proposed fractal antenna exhibits the ultra wideband characterist...

In this paper, a novel CPW-fed antenna is presented for UWB applications. The antenna mainly comprises of a simple circular patch and a modified ground plane. The inclusion of two novel symmetrical rectangular slots with inner area of 3×2.8 mm2 to the top corners of the antenna creates a new path for the current and consequently leads to the bandwidth enhancement. A rectangular stub is also ado...
