In this paper, considering symmetric collapse mode for hybrid tubes, and using Tsai-Hill fracture criterion to take into account the off-axis strength of an orthotropic lamina, an analytical model is extended and an expression is derived for mean crushing load and fold lengths of circular hybrid tubes. In this model, the influences of the geometrical dimensions including diameter, thickness of ...

In this paper a new geometry of circularly polarized patch antenna is proposed with improved bandwidth. The radiation performance of proposed patch antenna is investigated using IE3D simulation software and its performance is compared with that of conventional circular patch antenna. The simulated return loss, axial ratio and impedance with frequency for the proposed antenna are reported in thi...

The Design of hexagonal patch is presented withsingle coaxial feed namelysimple hexagonalpatch,hexagonal patch with one triangular slot in ground for circular polarization. The circular polarization of two antennas are obtained with 1.31% axial ratio(AR) for simple hexagonal patch, 4.43% axial ratio hexagonal patch with slotted ground hexagonal patch antenna. The impedance band widths of these ...

This paper presents the design of a broadband circular polarization truncated horn antenna with single feed. It does not require any complex feeding structure and uses only a coaxial feed extended with a simple electric field coupling probe. The corners of the horn are truncated to generate circular polarization modes, and a broad axial ratio bandwidth which is insensitive to the probe feed dim...
