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...

In this paper, an UWB-MIMO antenna with frequency selective surface (FSS) decoupling structure is proposed. To realize antenna system miniaturization and integration, silicon material is applied as substrate. The proposed antenna becomes a very compact construction with dimension of 38.2 × 26.6 × 0.4 mm. The proposed broadband FSS unit consists of four split rectangles and one I-shaped strip. T...

The hasty growth of wireless technologies has drawn new demands for integrated components including antennas and antenna on chip is a new mantra in the area of antenna research. Various techniques have been suggested by researchers for the miniaturization of microstrip patch antennas with multiband characteristics. Numerous antennas for multiband operation have been studied and designed for com...

In this paper is shown a new way to use Magneto-Dielectric Materials (MDM) in order miniaturize monopole antennas. It proposed load an antenna with MDM the relative permeability achieve first 17% miniaturization rate. Then, better miniaturization, it add metal parasitic plates on both sides of material permittivity ensure capacitance useful shift antenna’s resonant frequency. By combining loadi...

In this paper, a metamaterial based compact multiband microstrip antenna is proposed which can give high gain and directivity. Metamaterials are periodic structures and have been intensively investigated due to the particular features such as ultra-refraction phenomenon and negative permittiv ity and/or permeability. A metamaterialbased microstrip patch antenna with enhanced characteristics and...

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technique has become one of the most fascinating technologies with various antennas. It has the merits of high speed transmission rate, low power consumption and simple hardware configuration over conventional wireless communication systems. The research and development of the UWB systems including antennas have been widely performed [1-5]. Recently, UWB systems have focuse...

There has been a tremendous rumble in UWB research after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allocated a frequency range with a bandwidth of 7.5 GHz from 3.1–10.6 GHz for UWB applications. Ultra wideband (UWB) technology was earlier limited to special applications, primarily in the military area and there primarily to electronic warfare. The antennas were usually horn antennas or m...
