This paper shows the comparative analysis of a cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) fed by nonresonant microstrip patch and a proximity-fed planar annular slot (PPAS) antenna. The antenna array having an antenna element for higher directive gain at the center frequency 9.04 GHz. The band-notch is detained by almost a half-wavelength split-ring parasitic element printed around the rad...

This document reports on a survey of radio frequency interference (RFI) in the band 1200-1800 MHz. The survey was conducted during business hours from the roof of the Ohio State University ElectroScience Laboratory (ESL), using two antennas. One antenna was a commercially available wideband discone antenna, which is weakly directive along the horizon, and has directivity ¿ 1 toward the sky. The...

Miniaturized structure and high directive gain performance of a patch antenna are primary requirements for modern wireless communication systems. In this paper, a novel design of dual band micro strip patch antenna with rectangular notch has been proposed for WLAN and WiMAX applications. For dual bands (3. 6 GHz and 5. 1GHz), proposed patch antenna shows quite satisfactory radiation and gain pe...

A novel half Hemispherical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (HDRA) with an array of slots has been designed. The dielectric material used is Rogers TMM10, which is a ceramic thermoset polymer composite material having a dielectric constant of εr = 9.2. Periodic holes lower down the Q factor of the antenna and hence enhance the impedance bandwidth. The measured value of the 10 dB bandwidth is close ...

This paper presents a novel technique for analyzing the mode content excited by antennas placed in multimode waveguides. The technique is based on measuring the frequency response between the two antennas coupled into a waveguide and using that information to extract the mode content generated by the transmitting antenna. The technique is applicable to cases in which the mode amplitudes are app...

The suitability of various radiating systems for generating a directive high power microwave (HPhl ) beam is investigated. It is concluded that offset reflector antenna systems are well suited for this purpose. An HPM reflector antenna may consist of one or two reflectors that are illuminated by single or array feeds. To accurately predict the performance of an HPM reflector antenna, a versatil...

High directive stacked multilayer and edge coupled planar microstrip patch antenna made from a single-layer helical resonating metamaterial superstrate has been investigated. Metamaterials are artificial materials whose properties not found in nature. These materials have negative permittivity and permeability and negative index of refraction over a frequency band. In this paper, an innovative ...

Modern Radars use phased array antenna for higher directive gains. These array antennas can be used to form a beam in the desired direction also known as beam steering, if there is any jammer present then it cannot be suppressed by just beamforming or beam steering, in such case we need to use Adaptive antenna. Adaptive antennas use the smart signal processing algorithms also known as adaptive ...
