In this paper, a new compact multiband patch microstrip antenna design is presented as a candidate for use in modern multi-functions communication systems. The proposed antenna design is fractally generated using Koch fractal curve geometry applied to the conventional square microstrip patch antenna. Antenna structures resulting from the successive iterations in the proposed fractal generation ...

Modern microwave and millimeter wave phased array antennas are attractive because of their ability to steer wave beams in space without physically moving the antenna element. A typical phased array antenna may have several thousand elements fed by a phase shifter for every antenna, which can steer the resulting array beam to different directions. Their low loss, low cost and lightweight phase s...

nature photonics | VOL 5 | FEBRUARY 2011 | www.nature.com/naturephotonics 83 Optical antennas, analogues of microwave and radiowave antennas, are a new concept in physical optics1. They are an enabling technology for manipulating and controlling optical radiation at subwavelength scales2. Optical antennas are the subject of a growing number of scientific studies, and hold promise for enhancing ...

In microwave induced thermo-acoustic tomography (MITAT) system, radiation of an antenna is a near field problem which gives rise to a non-uniform distribution of microwave radiation power in detection area. Due to this non-uniform distribution, the contrast of MITAT image which is proportional to the absorbed microwave energy will not reflect the real characteristics (dielectric properties) of ...

Microwave imaging techniques have shown excellent capabilities in various fields such as civil engineering, nondestructive testing, industrial applications, and have in recent decades experienced strong growth as a research topic in biomedical diagnostics. Many research groups throughout the world work on prototype systems for producing images of human tissues in different biomedical applicatio...

Log-Periodic Dipole Antenna (LPDA) is a common and important broadband antenna, due to its non-frequency dependent characteristic. However, in the conventional design, the physical size is restricted to the longest oscillator dipole w ith the low est resonant frequency, which is quite large and constrains its application. To realize the antenna miniaturization, many methods, including loading t...

Simple internal multiband monopole antenna with low SAR for most of wireless mobile communication applications is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is an unequal arms monopole antenna with a meander strip in the other substrate side. The antenna has a simple structure and is sufficiently small in size to be easily fit on the housing of mobile or USB dongle with size 18 × 15 × 0.8mm3...

Objective of this study is to enhance radius of curvature of return loss, input impedance & explore SWR and radiation pattern. Hollow CDRA has been used instead of single-element CDRA to achieve the above mentioned goal. The impedance bandwidth of a high permittivity hollow cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna excited by micro-strip lines was significantly improved by modifying the feed geo...

This article proposes a quad band patch antenna for mobile communication. The design requirements are to meet the 0.9 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz and 2.45 GHz bands. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular patch monopole printed antenna in which slotting technique is used to achieve multi band resonance. The Patch with three slotted lines generates four resonating frequencies to cover 0.9 GHz ...
