A New Design of Log-Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) Antenna

This paper presents a new approach for design of the log-periodic dipole array antenna (LPDA) based on using of different design parameters in the LPDA elements to control the antenna behavior. In the proposed procedure, the design parameters can control the value of forward gain over the operating frequency range, and also adjust the gain flatness. Furthermore, this design procedure can decrea...

Broadband Coplanar Waveguide - Fed Wide - Slot Antenna

A large bandwidth wide-slot antenna, fed by coplanar waveguide (CPW), is proposed. Experimental investigations and detailed simulations are conducted to understand its behavior and to optimize for broadband operation. The impedance bandwidth, determined by 10-dB return loss of the proposed slot antenna using both measurement and simulation, is about 131% (2.8 to 14GHz). In addition to be small ...

Design of Partially Parallel-Fed Hollow Waveguide Nallow-Wall Slot Array Antenna in Millimeter-Wave Band

High-gain and low-profile antennas are required for high-speed wireless communication systems and mechanically-scanning automotive radars in the millimeter-wave band. Waveguide antenna is one of the most attractive planar antennas for such millimeter-wave systems because of its low loss and high efficiency characteristics in high frequency band. Travelling-wave excitation is more effective for ...

Design of Millimeter-wave Slotted-Waveguide Planar Antenna for Sub-array of Beam-scanning Antenna

Beam-scanning antennas are attractive for high-bit-rate data communication systems and high resolution sensing systems in millimeter-wave band. Waveguide antenna is one of the most attractive antennas for such millimeter-wave systems because of its low loss and high efficiency characteristics in high frequency band. Horizontally-beam-scanning antennas such as phased arrays and DBF (Digital Beam...
