This paper describes a beam scanning antenna loading a movable dielectric plate on a microstrip comb-line antenna. This antenna uses the mechanical system that has the characteristic of an easy structure as well as low costs. The comb, a radiation element, is connected to a microstrip line. The beam direction of the proposed antenna changes according to phase shifts of the microstrip line movin...

A novel compact dielectric loaded Exponentially Tapered Slot (ETS) antenna using Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology is presented in this paper for Millimeter (Mm) wave wireless communication applications. The dielectric loaded ETS antenna and compact SIW feed are fabricated on a single substrate. The compact SIW feeding structure results in a considerable reduction in size and elim...

This paper deals with the dielectric loaded Exponentially Tapered Slot (ETS) antenna needed for ultra-high-speed, highcapacity wireless communication systems which work at 60GHz and illustrates its specifications and requirements. The antenna in such system requires high gain, high-efficient and high performance design specifications. The ETS antenna and the loaded dielectric are integrated usi...

The U-slot micro-strip patch antennas were originally developed for bandwidth broadening applications. This study presents a transmission line feed to modify the U-slot stacked rectangular micro-strip patch antenna for Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) communications. The modified antenna has a U-cut loaded with parallel slits and corner slots and is printed on a dielectric substrate of FR4 with relative p...

In the present paper a three U-shaped slot loaded disk patch antenna is analysed by using circuit theory concept. The antenna shows dual resonance. The resonance frequency of single layer patch is found to be 1.84 GHz and 2.61 GHz (simulated 1.80 GHz and 2.61 GHz) whereas for two layers dielectric antenna, it is 2.21 GHz and 3.14 GHz (simulated 2.20 GHz and 3.13GHz) respectively. The frequency ...

A rigorous analysis method is provided for a rectangular slot antenna loaded by a dielectric hemisphere with double dielectric coatings. The method is an integral equation approach and the moment method solution is sought. The antenna input impedance and radiation patterns are obtained and compared with the case with a single dielectric coating layer. The bandwidth of the antenna is found to be...

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 ...

AbstractThis paper represents the design of microstrip patch antenna for X-band applications. This antenna can be designed at a single layer single patch four band, E-shape notch and symmetrically H-shape slots loaded compact antenna. The designed antenna can be used for Search and Rescue Radar Transponders (SART) and in Civil, Military Navigation Radars (MNR). The four band antenna is achieved...
