in recent years, the plasma antenna is a new technology for replacing the metal antennas that have been designed with better performance. in the steady state, the radiation pattern of a plasma antenna will be similar to the case of metallic antennas with the same form, size and performance at the same frequency and power. by sweeping the parameters in the plasma tube, we can change the operatin...

This paper presents a novel way for achieving endfire radiation pattern using microstrip patch antenna array. The extensively used microstrip patch antennas i.e. rectangular and circular microstrip patch antennas, either single patch or in an array configuration do not have an endfire radiation pattern. The antenna array presented in this paper is designed by changing the geometry of the antenn...

The TM0 surface mode in an infinitely long parallel-plate waveguide filled with a double-positive (DPS) and epsilon-negative (ENG) metamaterial bi-layer is studied. With proper constitutive parameters and thicknesses of the two layers, the slow-wave factor (SWF) for such a parallel-plate waveguide can tend to infinity as the frequency decreases. A 2-D cavity based on the DPS-ENG bilayer wavegui...

This paper presents the switched-beam slot antenna over the electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) reflector. This antenna is composed of two slot elements fed with phase difference and the EBG reflector, which is applied in order to realize the low profile structure. The radiation characteristics of this antenna are calculated using the FDTD method. The calculated results show that the antenna height ...

The antenna radiation characteristic is the important parameter to select the shape of antenna and triangular patch antenna gives the better antenna characteristic as compared to other shape antenna with less geometrical structure. Objective of our work is to enhance the characteristics of triangular patch antenna .In this paper we discussed about some previous applied techniques to improve the...

This paper describes the radiation characteristics of crank-line antennas radiating a circularly polarized wave. First, the radiation efficiency versus substrate permittivity is evaluated. Second, a 12-cell crank-line antenna of substrate permittivity "r = 1 and antenna height B = 11:85=8 is investigated as a reference antenna, where 11:85 is the wavelength at a frequency of 11.85 GHz. It is fo...

Microstrip patch antenna becomes very popular day by day because of its ease of analysis and fabrication, low cost, light weight, easy to feed and their attractive radiation characteristics. Although patch antenna has numerous advantages, it has also some drawbacks such as restricted bandwidth, low gain and a potential decrease in radiation pattern. In recent years, attention to use Electromagn...

Abstract—In this paper, a new kind of printed TEM horn antenna with high-gain fed by balanced microstrip line is proposed. The radiation part of the antenna (printed on the FR4 epoxy substrate) is composed of two symmetrical triangular metal foil branches fed by balanced microstrip line. The antenna has been simulated by CST MICROWAVE STUDIOr software and the simulated results show that the pro...

With advances in nanotechnology, emerging plasmonic nano-optical applications, such as all-optical magnetic recording, require circularly-polarized electromagnetic radiation beyond the diffraction limit. In this study, a plasmonic cross-dipole nano-antenna is investigated to obtain a circularly polarized near-field optical spot with a size smaller than the diffraction limit of light. The perfor...
