Single and Double Layer Planar Multiband PIFAs

Efficiency Enhancement of Si Solar Cells by Using Nanostructured Single and Double Layer Anti-Reflective Coatings

The effect of single and double-layer anti-reflective coatings on efficiency enhancement of silicon solar cells was investigated. The reflectance of different anti-reflection structures were calculated using the transfer matrix method and then to predict the performance of solar cells coated by these structures, the weighted average reflectance curves were used as an input of a PC1D simulation....

Single-arm double-mode double-order planar waveguide interferometric sensor.

A sensor is described for which interference measurements of the phase delay between two propagating modes of different orders in a slab thin-film waveguide are used as the sensing technique. The basic building block of the sensor is a polymer film doped with an indicator dye such as Bromocresol Purple. The modes of two orders such as TM(0) and TM(1) are simultaneously excited in the light-guid...

Compact multiband Planar Inverted F Antenna (PIFA)

Compact Planar Multiband Antennas for Mobile Applications

This chapter focuses on the design of compact planar multiband antennas intended for exist‐ ing wireless services including LTE, GPS, GSM, PCS, DCS, GPS, UMTS, WLAN and Wi‐ MAX bands. The present techniques available in the open literature include the modification of the main radiator via bending, folding, meandering and wrapping. Each approach offers different advantages, depending on the requ...

Multiband and Wideband Planar Antenna for WLAN and WiMAX Applications

Abstract—In this paper, the design of a multiband antenna for WLAN and WiMAX applications is proposed. The proposed antenna comprises a circular radiating patch with a pair of rectangular slits and an inverted U-shaped slot. A hexagon-shaped slot is cut on the ground plane. By adjusting the inverted U-shaped slot, a pair of rectangular slits, and a hexagon-shaped slot, three distinct resonance ...
