Dual-Band Annular-Ring Microstrip Patch Antenna for Satellite Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
A dual-band circularly polarized antenna fed by four apertures that covers the bands of GPS, Galileo, is introduced. The ARSAs designed using FR4 substrates in the L and S bands have 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidths (ARBWs) of as large as 37% and 52%, respectively, whereas the one using an RT5880 substrate in the L band, 61%. In these 3-dB axial-ratio bands, impedance matching with VSWR<=1.8 is also achieved. Three wideband planar baluns are used to achieve good axial ratio and VSWR. The results of the annular-ring microstrip antenna show good performance of a dual-band operation, which meets the requirement of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications.

Dual-band Circularly Polarized Microstrip Antenna with Small Frequency Ratio
A compact single-feed dual-band circularly polarized (CP) microstrip antenna is evaluated numerically and experimentally. The dual-band performances with small frequency ratio (about 1 : 1.1) are achieved by a circular patch and a narrow annular-ring, which have small difference in radius. The CP characteristics are achieved by an unequal cross-slot embedded in the circular patch and two orthog...

This paper presents an E-ring shaped printed monopole antenna for UWB applications with dual notched bands performance. In order to generate single frequency band notch function, we applied a U-ring shaped monopole antenna, and by inserting a rectangular ring in the centre of it an E-ring shaped radiating patch created and a dual band-notch function can be achieved. The measured bandwidth of th...

In this paper, we propose a new compact quasi-fractal shaped microstrip antenna that consists of a hexagonal patch as the main radiator and a complementary stacked patch as the parasitic element. The overall surface of the proposed quasi-fractal patch is about 55% lower than the conventional hexagonal patch. Using of stacked technique, the gain reduction of compression technique is almost compe...

Abstract— Miniaturized structure and multiple band performance of a patch antenna are primary requirements for modern wireless communication systems. In this paper, a novel design of monopole dual band microstrip patch antenna with circular ring has been proposed for S and C band applications. For dual bands (4.0 GHz and 4.68 GHz), proposed patch antenna shows quite satisfactory radiation perfo...
