In this paper a microstrip antenna on a suspended substrate with capacitive feed is presented. capacitive feed is created by a slot within the rectangular patch around the feed point. The proposed antenna exhibits a much higher impedance bandwidth of about 47% (S11 < −10 dB). Effects of key design parameters such as the air gap between the substrate and the ground plane, the gap width between r...

A high-efficiency waveguide slot array antenna with low sidelobe level (SLL) is investigated for W-band applications.

This paper covers two aspects of microstrip antenna design. The first is the analysis of trapezoidal patch microstrip antenna with V-shaped slot which operate at the centre frequency of 5.5 GHz. The second aspects are the analysis and design of inverted V-shaped slot cut trapezoidal microstrip antenna operates at centre frequency of 4.1 GHz. The simulation has been done through IE3D simulator. ...

There is a need for improved antenna performance in view of a recent decision by the DOD to disable SA at L1 GPS channel. For single frequency receivers SA had been the main cause of the largest errors of code and carrier phase measurements. With SA turned off, the multipath, ionosphere and antenna phase center variations are now the biggest contributors to code and carrier phase measurements. ...

A novel integrated antenna solution for wireless handheld devices is proposed for the existing 4G standards and upcoming 5G systems for broadband, high data rate communications. The complete antenna system is a unique combination of a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system at microwave frequencies and a millimeter(mm)-wave antenna array. The MIMO antenna system consists of two rea...
