Meander line antenna (MLA) is an electrically small antenna which poses several performance related issues such as narrow bandwidth, high VSWR, low gain and high cross polarization levels. This paper describe the design ,simulation and development of meander line microstrip antenna at wireless band, the antenna was modeled using microstrip lines and S parameter for the antenna was obtained. The...

In this paper, the design of 4x4 smart antenna array antenna along with the butler matrix network which can be used for beamforming (pointing an antenna array). Unlike the conventional schemes where an array of microstrip patch antennas are used, the radiation becomes omnidirectional and therefore the power losses are more. In the proposed design, the designed antenna is operating at the freque...

In this paper Micro strip Patch Antenna Array are designed and analyzed for WLAN application, which operating at S-band frequency Range of 2.4 GHz. Antenna arrays are used to achieve higher gain. The larger number of antenna elements, the better gain of antenna array is achieved. In this paper feeding element and power divider is used to design the 4 X 1 micro strip patch antenna array. Micro s...

A novel compact UWB antenna with 3.5/5.5 GHz dual notch-band characteristics is presented. The proposed antenna has a simple structure and compact size of 30 × 35mm2. Firstly, a compact modified rotated monopole antenna that covers UWB band is achieved. Then by inserting a λ/4 stub and etching two symmetrical λ/4 L-shape slots on the UWB antenna achieved before, a dual band-notched ultra-wideba...

A compact planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) with a tunable frequency response is presented. Tuning of the resonant frequency is realized by loading a varactor on an embedded slot of the proposed antenna structure without further optimizing other antenna geometry parameters. The antenna exhibits a wide frequency range from 1570 to 2600 MHz with a good impedance matching (S11 ≤ -10dB) covering the...

The polarization-sensitive cross slot antenna recently constructed by Papathanakos [1] was used to investigate the possibility of designing a polarization-sensitive bolometric detector. A bolometer or other absorber located near a polarizationsensitive antenna may couple to the antenna, preferentially absorbing electromagnetic waves of the polarization radiated by the antenna. Lock-in amplifica...

I have designed a folded-shot fractal antenna with single iteration with help of Koch iteration technique to achieve multiband properties. Antenna simulation tool Ansoft HFSS is used to design and simulate. Antenna proposed by me work with six frequency bands with acceptable return loss. Implementation of Folded slot antenna is done over a single slot antenna. Proposed design of antenna offers ...

This paper presents a novel textile wearable antenna that has been designed to operate at Wi-Fi bands of 2.4GHz & 5.8GHz. Antenna performance in free space environment showed Gain of 1.8dBi at 2.4GHz and 4.5dBi at 5.8GHz. However, performance deteriorated when antenna was operated near human body which is lossy and complex in nature. For mitigating the human body effect on antenna performance, ...
