چکیده

There has been a lot of study published in literature on the improvement of the performances of microstrip patch antennas. Most of the solutions proposed in the past were to use an array of several antennas. The particular disadvantage of this method comes from the feeding of each antenna and also from the coupling between each element. Other interesting solutions have then been suggested: the first one (Jackson & Alexópoulos, 1985) was to make use of a superstrate of either high permittivity or permeability above the patch antenna and the second one proposed (Nakano et al., 2004), is to sandwich the antenna by dielectric layers of the same permittivity. A Left-Handed Medium (LHM) superstrate where both permittivity and permeability are simultaneously negative has also been suggested (Burokur et al., 2005). The numerical study of a patch antenna where a Left-Handed Medium (LHM) is placed above has been done and in this case a gain enhancement of about 3 dB has been observed. However, these solutions are all based on non-planar designs which are bulky for novel telecommunication systems requiring compact low-profile and environment friendly directive antennas.

Design and engineering of metasurfaces for high-directivity antenna and sensing applications

The engineering of metasurfaces for antenna and sensing applications is investigated. The metasurfaces composed of LC-resonant cells, are designed to achieve either modulated phase or high quality factor resonances. While the phase modulated metasurface applied as a superstrate in a Fabry-Perot cavity antenna, shows the capability to steer the radiated beam to an off-normal radiation, the high ...

Numerical Modeling and Experimental Study of Probe-Fed Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) Supported by Finite Circular Ground Plane

Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) have received increased interest in recent years for their potential applications in microwave and millimeter wave communication systems. DRAs are normally used with the support of a ground plane. The radiation and impedance properties therefore depend not only on their physical dimensions and dielectric properties, but also on the size of the ground plane. ...

Synthesis of Antenna Arrays of Maximum Directivity for a Specified Sidelobe Level

Linear and planar antenna arrays are synthesized to have maximum directivity for a specified sidelobe level. The directivity is maximized subject to a given SLL. The beamwidth and the zeros of array factor are studied as well as the directivity. Maximum directivity-arrays are compared through some examples with super-directive, uniform, Dolph-Chebyshev and Riblet-Chebychev arrays to find a comp...

Hybrid optical antenna with high directivity gain.

Coupling of a far-field optical mode to electronic states of a quantum absorber or emitter is a crucial process in many applications, including infrared sensors, single molecule spectroscopy, and quantum metrology. In particular, achieving high quantum efficiency for a system with a deep subwavelength quantum absorber/emitter has remained desirable. In this Letter, a hybrid optical antenna base...
