This paper covers the design and optimisation of fractal antennas for RFID application at microwave frequencies. Basing on the Sierpenski gasket antenna and slot technique we propose a novel structure of Sierpenski fractal antenna which is named Sierpenski Slot antenna. The propose structure present a reduction of size by more than 52% which is very important in the case of TAG RFID antenna.

Dual-band antenna elements that support dual-polarization provide ideal performance for applications including space-based platforms, multifunction radar, wireless communications, and personal electronic devices. In many communications and radar applications, a dual-band, dual-polarization antenna array becomes a requirement in order to produce an electronically steerable, directional beam capa...

This paper discusses how to design a Radial Line Slot Antenna (RLSA) whose waveguide is filled with high loss dielectric materials. We introduce a new design for the aperture slot coupling synthesis to restrain the dielectric losses and improve the antenna gain. Based on a newly defined slot coupling, a number of RLSAs with different sizes and loss factors are analyzed and their performances ar...

Based on the C-shaped microstrip slot antenna, a new photonic band gap substrate for multifrequency microstrip slot antenna is designed. The antenna has a groove been dug below the radiation plate, within which the radiation plate is placed, and air triangular prism column gaps with different height are placed in the substrate periodically. Numerical simulation is performed for the antenna with...

After the release of the unlicensed Ultra Wideband (UWB) spectrum 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for the commercial purposes by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), industries and academia pay much attention due to its properties of excellent immunity to multi-path interference, high secured data rate, low power consumption, and simple configuration. The feasible UWB antenna design face some chall...

A uniplanar leaky-wave antenna (LWA) suitable for operation at millimeter-wave frequencies is introduced. Both unidirectional and bidirectional versions of the antenna are presented. The proposed structure consists of a coplanar waveguide fed linear array of closely spaced capacitive transverse slots. This configuration results in a fast-wave structure in which the = 0 spatial harmonic radiates...

A compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed ultrawideband (UWB) antenna is proposed with band-notched characteristic. The antenna has compact size of 29 x 31 mm 2 . A novel wide polygon-slot is inserted on the antenna to obtain good impedance matching and wide bandwidth. A tapered radiating patch is placed inside the polygon-slot. An embedded C-slot in the radiating patch avoids potential interferen...
