For most of the weather antenna application, the antenna must be covered with radome to enhance operational efficiency in all weather circumstances. This radome provides environmental protection and along with that it enhances antenna performance. The antenna manufacturer must evaluate radome scattering level so that they can estimate the parameter of cost effective antenna and can provide maxi...

In the present paper notch loaded shorted microstrip patch antenna has been analyzed using cavity model. The proposed antenna shows dual band operation which depends on notch dimensions as well as shorting pin. The frequency ratio is found to be 1.75 for the notch loaded circular patch antenna. The theoretical results are compared with IE3D simulation.

The millimeter-wave front-end module for an automotive radar sensor is generally composed of an antenna placed on the front surface of the sensor head and a millimeter-wave circuit inside it. As the antenna for the radar sensor, several types of antennas, a slotted waveguide antenna, a triplate antenna, a dielectric lens antenna, a dielectric leaky wave antenna and a microstrip antenna, have be...

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...

We continue here our investigation of Solid Dielectric Lens Impulse Radiating Antennas (SDL IRAs), which are intended for Ultra-Wideband, high-voltage radiation from the front end of an electrically conducting cylindrical shroud. This device is intended to radiate the highest possible field from the smallest possible aperture using the highest possible source voltage. Furthermore, this antenna ...

In this paper a CPW-fed annular slot antenna is miniaturized with enhanced impedance bandwidth using a reactive impedance surface (RIS) substrate. The RIS is realized by patterning 3× 3 array of circular elements over an inexpensive FR-4 substrate which is backed by a circular metallic plane. Due to the compensation of electric and magnetic energy stored by antenna and RIS substrate respectivel...

The antenna designed frequency is 2.4GHz(ISM band) using transmission line model. In this paper experimentally inves...

Dielectric nano-antennas are promising elements in nanophotonics due to their low material loss and strong leaky-mode optical resonances. In particular, light scattering can be easily manipulated using dielectric nano-antennas. To take full advantage of dielectric nano-antennas and explore their new optical applications, it is necessary to fabricate three-dimensional nano-structures under arbit...

The paper briefly reviews the historical background of dielectric resonator antenna and its bandwidth enhancement techniques. The main focus is on a compact DRA that can offer broad band operation. It has been illustrated that dual resonance and multi resonance operation can be much effective to give wide band characteristics of DRA.
