A Novel Volcano Smoke Antenna with Optimal Shape
Authors
Abstract:
The design of a novel volcano smoke antenna for UWB indoor applications is presented. The design method is based on a general description for the geometry of UWB monopole antennas which is capable of producing most possible shapes for these antennas. It is also compatible with different optimization methods. In addition to a volcano smoke antenna, this method is used to design two optimized monopole antennas with flat and shaped grounds. The optimization of antennas is carried out by applying a hybrid procedure which begins with a GA global search and completes with a local search. The optimization process aims at minimizing the reflection coefficient of antennas over the operating band while reducing the time-domain distortion of radiated pulses. For Shaped ground and volcano smoke antennas, the reduction of variations in the energy pattern has been added to the optimization goals. The numerical results show the reliability and effectiveness of the whole process. These results also show considerable improvement regarding antenna size and operational characteristics in comparison with similar antennas reported in the literature. The operational characteristics of shaped ground and volcano smoke antennas show that by shaping the ground, better performance could be achieved with smaller radiating elements and ground planes.

A Novel Circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna with Branch-Line Coupler and Log-Periodic Balun
A new shaped circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna (CP DRA) is studied with branch-line coupler and log-periodic balun for the GPS application. Since the coupler and balun are located under the DRA, it does not increase the footprint of the antenna, as a result the system is very compact. Two configurations are considered in this paper. In the first configuration, an external 50Ω lo...

Band-notch characteristic has been of great interest recently to overcome the electromagnetic interference of Ultra-wideband systems (UWB) with other existing ones. In this paper, we present a novel microstrip-fed antenna with band rejection property appropriate for UWB applications. Band-notch characteristic has been achieved by adding a rectangular resonant element to the ground section. A pr...

A shape optimization problem of cooling fins for computer parts and integrated circuits is modeled and solved in this paper. The main purpose is to determine the shape of a two-dimensional pin fin, which leads to the maximum amount of removed heat. To do this, the shape optimization problem is defined as maximizing the norm of the Nusselt number distribution at the boundary of the pin fin's con...
full textDoes the Shape of a Volcano Reflect Its Personality?
Volcanic eruptions demonstrate that our planet is alive and evolving. Take photos of volcanoes around the Earth and you will see that they all look different, but also share important features. Some volcanoes come in perfect conical shapes, while others are much flatter and harder to spot. This is just like humans, some are tall and others are short, or some have dark hair while others have lig...
full textNovel Planar Antenna with a Broadside Radiation
This paper presents a novel low-profile antenna with a broadside radiation. The proposed design strategy consists in modifying the layout of a classical Vivaldi antenna, thus resulting in compact dimensions and a broadside radiation pattern. Two different ways of implementing the proposed design approach are presented and discussed. More specifically, experimental data referring to two prototyp...

Novel eagle shape microstrip wearable antennas (element and array) are presented. The singleand two-element antenna arrays are designed and fabricated on a Roger RT/Duroid 5880 substrate with dielectric constant of 2.2, thickness of 1.5748mm, and tan δ = 0.001. The measured results show that a reduction in mutual coupling of 36 dB is achieved at the first band (1.68–2.65) GHz and 22.1 dB over t...
