A broadband printed bow-tie antenna with a simplified balanced feeding network and modified tapering is presented. Microstrip and parallel-strip transmission lines printed on the substrate with high dielectric permittivity realize the proposed feeding network. The ground-plane transition between the microstrip line and the parallel-strip line is exponentially tapered so as to reduce the reflect...

A printed dipole antenna integrated with a duplex RF switch used for mobile base station antenna beam steering is presented. A coplanar waveguide to coplanar strip transition was adopted to feed the printed dipole. A novel RF switch circuit, used to control the RF signal fed to the dipole antenna and placed directly before the dipole, was proposed. Simulated and measured data for the CWP-to-CPS...

A compact printed fractal antipodal bow-tie antenna is designed and implemented to simultaneously cover the operations in the C, X, and Ku-bands. It is demonstrated that by addition of small fractal elements at the sides of hexagonal arms of the bow-tie, a wide operating frequency range of 3.3 to 19.1 GHz can be covered while antenna size is only 30×34×1.2 mm3. In order to match the antenna to ...

In the present paper, design and analysis of a 2.4 GHz printed dipole antenna for wireless communication applications are presented. Measurements on return loss and radiation pattern of this antenna configuration are included in this investigation. The printed dipole is combined with the feeding structure of a microstrip via-hole balun and is fabricated on an FR-4 printed-circuit-board substrat...

A planar, printed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for slim mobile handset is presented. The dual-antenna system, comprises two symmetric antenna elements, is printed on a printed circuit board (PCB) of mobile phone. Each antenna element consists of coupled-fed loop antenna. The loop antenna is formed by a quarter wavelength (at 762MHz) meandered loop strip with end terminal short-...

In this paper, a new compact design of the printed monopole antenna has been presented. The single layered antenna has been designed to resonate in wideband frequency for UMTS, LTE and WLAN with enhanced bandwidth of more than 1.25GHz.The antenna has a simple structure consisting of a Tshaped and parasitic element in the ground plane. The proposed antenna has a low profile and can easily be fed...

Return loss ,gain and directivity and current distribution for the different frequencies are explored, It is shown proposed antenna has good gain and directivity .In addition ,some studies of the proposed antenna geometri...

This paper describes an antenna system combining Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) with Iridium satellite communications and UHF 225-512 MHz communications on a handset to provide an integrated Communications Navigation (Comm/Nav) antenna. The GPS/GNSS/Iridium antenna is a folded Quadrifilar Helix Antenna (QHA) with novel features which improve frequency coverage compared to existing QH...

Many types of GNSS antennas have been developed in recent years to make them suitable for different applications. Since their designs and performance requirements vary depending on their application, they have been grouped into six different categories in this book: 1. The design and performance of each type of antenna will be described here and throughout the rest of the book. This chapter dis...
