In this paper, a miniaturized coplanar waveguide fed (CPW-fed) tapered slot antenna (TSA) is introduced for breast cancer detection. Here, a modified CPW to slot-line transition structure with an air-bridge is employed to broaden the transition bandwidth and increase the radiation efficiency. Through these applied modifications, negative features of the original TSA (limitation of transition) a...

To achieve dual frequency operation for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications, a hybrid dual-band dielectric resonator antenna with serpentine slot fed by a microstrip line is proposed. The proposed antenna structure consists of cylindrical dielectric resonator and serpentine slot resonator. The serpentine slot is etched on the ground plane of the dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). By...

This paper presents the electrically small U-slot loaded circular microstrip patch antenna with Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR). The technique of U slot loading is used for operating antenna in dual band and CSRR technique to make antenna compact and CSRR for compactness is used. The simple circular patch antenna resonates at 5. 71 GHz with return loss of -11. 38 dB. The proposed ante...

In this paper, a novel multiple slot microstrip patch antenna with enhanced bandwidth is presented. The design adopts contemporary techniques namely; probe feeding, inverted patch structure and multiple slotted patch. The composite effect of integrating these techniques and by introducing the novel multiple shaped patch, offer a low profile, wide bandwidth, high gain and compact antenna element...

The design and optimization of an annular ring dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) operating in the C frequency band is addressed. The DRA is intended to be used as the radiating element of a transmitting array of active integrated antennas, its input impedance must exhibit a proper resistive load at the fundamental resonance frequency, as well as a dominant reactive behavior, either inductive o...
