In this paper a novel method for computing the radiation pattern and also the input impedance of a planar rectangular micro-strip antenna array with consideration of mutual coupling and mutual impedance is presented. Each two triangles with a common edge make an Edge element or RWG. Any such edge element is considered as an infinitesimal dipole. The electrical currents over each dipole can be c...

A novel model of a wide frequency range double MOS loaded circular microstrip patch antenna with airgap between ground plane and substrate is proposed. In this structure two metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices are loaded on the patch to enhance the operating frequency range of antenna. To investigate the antenna, different parameters such as resonance frequency, input impedance, frequency a...

Despite the antenna’s privileged position as the first line of defense against interferers, jammers and spoofers, most detection and mitigation techniques are realized in the receiver’s backend signal processing blocks. Nonetheless, these solutions often require considerable additional hardware added to the receiver’s frontend and antenna design. For example, multi-antenna arrays replace a sing...

The on-orbit alignment of the antenna beams of both the X-band and C-band radar systems during operations of the shuttle radar topography mission/X-band synthetic aperture radar (SRTM/X-SAR) was a key requirement for achieving best interferometric performance. In this paper, we consider the X-SAR antenna beam alignment in azimuth. For a single-pass cross-track SAR interferometer, we establish t...

Fractal arrays are used to increase the bandwidth of the antenna and to reduce grating lobes. The frequency range from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz is specially allocated for the UWB applications. In this paper, a novel antenna based on fractal concepts for ultra wideband (UWB) applications is analyzed, designed, fabricated and tested. Further the antenna is analyzed using the emerging fractal concepts and ...

A semi-circle looped vertically omnidirectional radiation (VOR) patterned tag antenna for UHF (919-923 MHz for Malaysia) frequency is designed to overcome the impedance mismatch issue in this paper. Two impedance matching feeding strips are used in the antenna structure to tune the input impedance of the antenna. Two dipole shaped meandered lines are used to achieve a VOR pattern. The proposed ...

The circular sector patch antenna is studied in C-band (4 GHz 8 GHz). In this paper, we present steps of designing the circular sector antenna then a comparison with a rectangular antenna in literature. High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software is used to compute the gain, axial ratio, radiation pattern, and return loss S11 of proposed antenna. Based on the designed patch antenna, many...

Optimizing antenna arrays to approximate desired far field radiation patterns is of exceptional interest in smart antenna technology. This paper shows how to apply artificial intelligence, in the form of neural networks, to achieve specific beam-forming with linear antenna arrays. Multilayer feed-forward neural networks are used to maximize multiple main beams’ radiation of a linear antenna arr...

Here we made an attempt to maximize the gain of microstrip patch antenna. To achieve this we used microstrip circular patch antenna at 5.8 GHz frequency ISM Band Application. Single FSS (frequency selective surface) substrate is used to increase efficiency. Parameters are set accordingly and results of microstrip patch antenna with FSS layer and microstrip patch antenna without substrate later ...
