A compact size, multiband 2x2 array of circular microstrip antenna has been proposed. The antenna array consists of Genetic Algorithm (GA)optimized, annular slotted circular microstrip antenna elements using probe feed. The spacing of elements has also been optimized using GA in the two directions. The performance of the antenna array has been studied with different shape parameters. The optimi...

This paper describes the concept, design, and measurement of a multi-band circularly polarized printed slot antenna with a single microstrip feed line. The antenna design for circular polarization (CP) at 1.5 GHz for GPS, 2.4 GHz for Bluetooth, and 3.75GHz for WiMAX application is given. The proposed antenna also provides a fourth linear polarized band over 5.2 to 6 GHz covering the WLAN band. ...

In this paper, a compact band-notched UWB planar antenna with Transmission-Line-fed is presented and I’m using a new technique by etching a narrowband resonance H-shape slot in the ground plane of the antenna. This antenna is capable reducing the interference at the WLAN bands by eliminating the 4.85–6.17 GHz band. The proposed antenna has compact size of 16 × 22 mm2 including the ground plane ...

Acompact, planar, dual-band meander-line monopole antenna that operates in frequency range of 2.400-2.480, 5.150-5.350, and 5.725-5.825 GHz was designed, fabricated, and characterized. Theoretical analysis based on the antenna theory was conducted to obtain the optimum characteristics.A 3-D electromagnetic finite-element solver, high frequency structure simulator (HFSS), was used in antenna sim...

The design of a dual band operational compact antenna is investigated in this paper for RFID handheld reader application. The dual frequency operation of the antenna is achieved by using a U-shaped slot on the patch and a L-shaped slot in the ground plane. The shorted wall connecting the patch and the ground plane plays a vital role to make it compact. The overall dimension of the patch is 20×3...

In view of the development for TD-SCDMA communication system and combine with the miniaturization technology of smart antenna, by using balun feeding structure and consist of splitters and neural networks, this paper proposed a four units of dual polarized and a eight units of +45/-45 polarized antenna array which on the basis of printed dipole antenna. The simulation results show that the isol...

The investigations on a new proximity coupled dualfrequency microstrip antenna, which can be operated at GPS and Bluetooth frequency bands of wireless communication, are reported. The patch geometry consists of two square sections joined at the common corners and proximity coupled by a microstrip line. The results show that the antenna has sufficient bandwidth and gain necessary for the above f...

NTT DOCOMO is researching and developing the fifth-generation mobile communications system (5G) toward the provision of super-high-speed, super-high-capacity wireless communications services. In 5G, the aim is to widen the bandwidth of transmission signals by using frequency bands higher than those of existing frequency bands. However, as radio propagation loss increases in high frequency bands...

An ultra-compact dual-band printed antenna is proposed. Connective and concentric double split rings (CCDSR) are used to generate two resonant frequencies in wireless local area network (WLAN) frequency bands. Tuning arms are added to the microstrip fed line, which can be used to tune the upper frequency band. The dimension of this antenna is only 9 × 24 × 1 mm3, much smaller than those reporte...

A dual-band circularly polarized antenna fed by four apertures that covers the bands of GPS, Galileo, is introduced. The ARSAs designed using FR4 substrates in the L and S bands have 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidths (ARBWs) of as large as 37% and 52%, respectively, whereas the one using an RT5880 substrate in the L band, 61%. In these 3-dB axial-ratio bands, impedance matching with VSWR<=1.8 is also...
