In this paper, a new ultra wideband circular antenna array (UCAA) combining genetic algorithm to minimize the bit error rate (BER) is proposed. The ultra wideband (UWB) impulse responses of the indoor channel for any transmitter-receiver location are computed by applying shooting and bouncing ray/image (SBR/Image) techniques, inverse fast Fourier transform and Hermitian processing. By using the...

A compact wideband antenna with cylindrical conformal geometry is proposed . The radiating element of this antenna consists of an Eshaped patch that assumes a conformal orientation relative to the cylindrical surface in order to yield maximum bandwidth. The antenna is fed by waveguide feeding connected to the radiating patch at the longer side Radiation properties of the proposed including far-...

Abstract—In this paper, an ultra high frequency (UHF) low-profile antenna is proposed; it is based on the discone antenna but with addition of a back cavity, a short-circuiting structure and a two-plate top structure in order to achieve both low-profile and wideband. It is simulated and prototyped. The test results show that the antenna has an omni-directional radiation pattern in the horizonta...

An Ultra Wideband (UWB) antenna is proposed in this paper which covers the whole FCC UWB band from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz while filtering out the WLAN frequencies around 5.8 GHz. The antenna is a planar wineglass shaped slot antenna fed with a coplanar waveguide. The filtering property has been achieved by etching a semicircular parasitic slit on the excitation element of the antenna. The location of ...

Fractal arrays are used to increase the bandwidth of the antenna and to reduce grating lobes. The frequency range from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz is specially allocated for the UWB applications. In this paper, a novel antenna based on fractal concepts for ultra wideband (UWB) applications is analyzed, designed, fabricated and tested. Further the antenna is analyzed using the emerging fractal concepts and ...

This paper present the design and performance of a microstrip fed circular patch antenna with defected ground plane. The overall size of antenna is 35mm × 30 mm × 1.59 mm. The proposed antenna is simulated by applying CST Microwave Studio simulator. This antenna provides broad impedance bandwidth of 2.70GHz (2.30 GHz – 5.01 GHz) with flat gain (close to 3dBi) in the desired frequency range. Thi...
