w w w . i j e c t . o r g InternatIonal Journal of electronIcs & communIcatIon technology 71 Abstract One of the advantages of microstrip patches over conventional antennas is their small size. However, there are many present day applications where even these small radiators are too large. A microstrip antenna incorporated with a single shorting pin is found to provide reduction in overall area...

This paper proposes a compact microstrip Yagi-Uda antenna for 2.45 GHz radio frequency identification (RFID) handheld reader applications. The proposed antenna is etched on a piece of FR4 substrate with an overall size of 65 mm × 55 mm ×1.6 mm and consists of a microstrip balun, a dipole, and a director. The ground plane is designed to act as a reflector that contributes to enhancing the antenn...

A single feed compact microstrip antenna is proposed in this paper. L slit is introduced on the right edge of the patch to study the effect of the slit on radiation behavior with respect to a conventional microstrip patch. The resonant frequencies are obtained at 1.85, 2.4, 3.44 &4.31 GHz with corresponding bandwidth 10 MHz, 15.13 MHz, 35.19 MHz, 56.13 MHz and return loss of about -29.58, -14.5...

A simple and compact microstrip line -fed ultrawideband planar monopole antenna with single band-notch characteristics is presented. Wide impedance bandwidth is achieved by inserting two rectangular slots on both sides of the microstrip feed line on the ground plane. Band notching is achieved by embedding a half wavelength C shaped slot on the radiator. The antenna is investigated numerically a...

The proposed compact CP design can have an operating frequency reduction of about 21.95% as compared to t...

The narrow working bandwidth of microstrip antennas limits their applications in in radar and communication systems. Staked patch antenna based on aperture coupling and asymmetry feeding technique was proposed in this paper. A cross-shape aperture imbedded in the ground plane with asymmetry feeding structure provided a relative wideband electromagnetic coupling and allowed a high isolation betw...

A proper antenna to couple to a microstrip Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) is designed and simulated. A twin-slot microstrip-fed inline antenna is designed for frequency band of 600-720~GHz integrated with an elliptical lens and coupled to the MKID. A systematic design procedure for design of such antenna with microstrip inline feeding is presented. Whole structure of lens and twin...
