UHF SATCOM Broadband CP Antenna: Moxon Type Bent-dipoles over a Ground Plane
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate and compare two different antenna types for UHF SATCOM applications; proposed Moxon type (bent dipole) and conventional egg beater (loop) antennas in terms of antenna performance and physical size. Bent dipole and egg beater antennas are simulated using HFSS software. Prototype antenna for Moxon type is also fabricated and measured for its return loss using Agilent network analyzer and compared to that of an egg beater antenna. Antenna gains are also simulated. Simulation results show that Moxon type antenna has more impedance bandwidth than egg beater antenna with smaller dimensions and hence can be used for broadband SATCOM applications.

A planar, lightweight, crossed dipole antenna with circularly polarized (CP) radiation is introduced for application in a radiofrequency identification handheld reader at ultrahigh frequency bands. The dipoles cross through a 90 phase-delay line of a vacant-quarter printed ring that enables broadband characteristic in terms of impedance matching and 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidths. Four printe...

3. Introduction Although existing SATCOM antennas provide broad pattern coverage, they are still too large (15”-30”), heavy and bulky and therefore not quite portable. The goal of this paper is to address the existing need of replacing bulky and often inefficient antennas currently used for satellite communications at UHF frequencies (224-317MHz) with a particular emphasis on the higher 290317M...
متن کاملCircularly Polarized Broadband RFID Microstrip Tag Antenna
In recent years, the application of radio frequency identification (RFID) operating in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band (860-960MHz) are expanding exponentially, due to the advantages such as long reading distance, high data transfer rate, and small tag size. So the design of a CP tag antenna with broadband characteristic is presently one of the most challenging topics. This project presents...

This paper presents the design, simulation, and measurement of two low-cost broadband circularly polarized (CP) printed antennas: a single element and an array at C band. The proposed single element antenna is excited by an L-shaped strip with a tapered end, located along the circular-slot diagonal line in the back plane. From the array experimental results, the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth can r...
