Radiation Losses in Microstrip Antenna Feed Networks Printed on Multilayer Substrates*
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of the substrate structure on the radiation properties of microstrip array feed networks is investigated with the space-domain integral equation approach. Numerical and analytical techniques are employed to produce efficient computer algorithms. Results for space and surface wave losses are presented for corner discontinuities printed on substratelsuperstrate, and two-layer substrate structures. Comparisons are made with the single-layer case.

UWB Planar Conical Horn-Shaped Self-Complementary Bow-Tie Antenna
An ultra-wideband (UWB) self-complementary planar bow-tie antenna (SCPBTA) is proposed. The antenna consists of a printed conical horn-shaped (CHS) radiator and a counterpart CHS slot etched on a rectangular ground plane. The printed CHS radiator is connected directly to the 50Ω microstrip line by bending the end portion of the feed line. As a result, the antenna has a simple structure which do...

A broadband printed bow-tie antenna with a simplified balanced feeding network and modified tapering is presented. Microstrip and parallel-strip transmission lines printed on the substrate with high dielectric permittivity realize the proposed feeding network. The ground-plane transition between the microstrip line and the parallel-strip line is exponentially tapered so as to reduce the reflect...

The low cost, high efficiency, single-feed microstrip antenna with a two-layer substrate for circular polarization (CP) is presented. A new CP design of a singlefeed nearly square patch with two truncated square corners is also described here. The two-layer substrate consists of an FR4 dielectric layer and a foam layer. The effects of the foam substrate on the impedance bandwidth, axial ratio, ...

In this article, a printed triangular-shaped monopole antenna is proposed for emerging ultrawideband application. The proposed antenna uses a triangular radiating patch which is directly fed by a 50-X microstrip feed line. To improve the impedance bandwidth, a round-corner ground plane has been used. To further improve the impedance bandwidth for the entire band, a microstrip transition (near t...

In this paper, we propose an artificial neural network (ANN) as a design technique for multilayer circular microstrip antennas based on Levenberg Marquardt training algorithm for modelling, simulation and optimization. Levenberg – Marquart (LM) algorithm has been used to train the MultiLayer Perceptron Neural Networks (MLPNNs). In the design procedure, the feed forward network is defined as a s...
