A new structure of integrated planar metal magnetic film coupled line (MMFCL) circulators is presented, in which a metal magnetic film is used instead of ferrite materials. Simulation was performed with HFSS based on coupled-mode theory. An insertion loss of 4 dB and isolation of 13.5 dB between S21 and S12 over a frequency band of 3 GHz (from 36.5 to 39.5 GHz) were realised for a three-port MM...

This paper presents a novel narrowband microstrip patch antenna for radar application. The proposed antenna consists of rectangular radiating patch which provides a narrowband behavior and relatively good impedance matching working in the band of 3-12 GHz. A parametric study is performed on three different antenna structures. The measured results give three narrow band stable signal transmissio...

This paper present the improvement in gain of micro-strip patch antenna, which is used with Circular, Rectangular and Square shaped split ring resonator designed at a separate substrate at height 0.05mm from the ground plane. In spite of design complexity it is easy and commercially cheap way of enhancing gains of micro-strip antenna. Simulations have been performed using High Frequency Structu...

A novel 180◦ hybrid is proposed, based on a modified Gysel power combiner, using phase shifter and ground bridge for the difference output. Also the Defected Microstrip Structure has been used to increase the hybrid’s phase matching. All steps of the design are simulated using HFSS 11 and the final design is validated by the fabrication. It has good results between 7 GHz to 10 GHz and can be us...

Planar directional coupler using Substrate Integrated Waveguide technology (SIW) is proposed in this paper. The SIW coupler with tapered microstrip-SIW transitions are integrated on the same substrate. Planar form makes this coupler structure easily integrable in microwave planar circuits. These proposed power dividers can be applied to the design of the beam-forming network for communication s...

In microstrip patch antenna array, the mutual coupling is very critical due to surface wave excitation. It leads to degradation in radiation pattern and reduction in gain. In this paper, a method to mitigate mutual coupling effect in an antenna array using Slotted Ground Structure (SGS) at 900MHz and dielectric constant 2.2 is simulated and analyzed using Ansoft HFSS 13. Simulated results show ...

This paper investigate some methods for converting single band antennas to multiband antennas so that all single band antennas convert in multiband antennas and gives multiband facility without increasing the cost of manufacturing. Simulation is performing on Ansoft HFSS and corresponding result are shown by figures. Impedance bandwidth, VSWR and Return loss are observed for the proposed antenn...

Simulated design and analysis of a new simple multi-band microstrip antenna is presented in this paper. An introduced design covers the requisite bandwidth for GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTS cellular phone system and IEEE Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standards: 802.11n, b/g (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth. Light weight, low-cost, plain configuration and multi-band functionality are the advantages. All results of th...

Basic left-handed transmission line (LH-TL) characteristics made on PCB is an important future issue for the application of the EMC field. In this paper, possibility of a LHTL characteristic made by a folded-stepped impedance resonator (F-SIR) type is investigated experimentally and theoretically as a first time. The calculations by FDTD and/or FEM (HFSS) show the usability of the LH-TL. The ex...

The subject of enhancing microstrip patch antennas directivity, using either a frequency selective surface (FSS) or a double-negative (DNG) metamaterial slab, has been investigated by a number of researchers in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to show that we can also achieve the same goal by using a much simpler design for the superstrate, namely a dielectric slab, whose performance ...
