Low-Profile Array of Wire Patch Antennas

an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

Modeling and simulation of Microstrip patch array for smart antennas

The aim of the paper is two fold. One is to design and simulate an antenna array suitable for wireless applications and the other is the design of beamforming algorithm. In this paper, the first module presents the design of multiple microstrip rectangular patch elements suitable for beamforming technique in wireless applications in the range of 1.8 2.4 GHz. By designing 1x8 patch array, it is ...

Comparison between Rectangular and Circular Patch Antennas Array

Development of Low-profile Antennas for CubeSats

The advent of transparent antennas on CubeSats originated out of necessity to eradicate the current mechanically dependent monopole antennas that are typically placed on the edges of the satellite to maximize the efficacy of its solar panels. Consequently, as a direct result of their mechanical deployment methods, these antennas are highly prone to failure. Standard patch antennas cannot be use...

Broadband low-profile antennas for wireless applications

Two novel broadband low-profile antennas are developed for the mobile terminals of wireless applications. The first one is a quasiplanar antenna which has a height of 0.06l0, where l0 is the free-space wavelength at the centre frequency. The second one is a planar antenna which has a height of 0.056l0. It is demonstrated that the quasiplanar antenna can achieve a bandwidth for VSWR , 2 of more ...
