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...

In this paper, two miniaturized (20 × 20mm2) coplanar waveguide fed slot antennas are proposed. Both the antennas are characterized by ultra wide impedance bandwidth while one of them has an additional narrow band near 2.5GHz. The radiating element of the proposed antennas is a modified rectangular geometry which is excited by a 50 ohm line. The slot in the ground plane is stair case shape for ...

Abstract—A novel compact open-ended L-shaped slot antenna with asymmetrical rectangular patch is demonstrated and designed for UWB applications. With the open-ended L-shaped slot and an asymmetrical rectangular patch fed by the micro-strip line, multiple resonant frequencies are excited and merged to form a measured widen operating bandwidth of 3.01 ∼ 11.30GHz with 10 dB return loss. The fracti...

A tri-band slot loaded microstrip antenna is proposed. The tri-band characteristics of antenna are achieved by incorporating a combination of symmetrical Y-shaped and asymmetrical U-shaped slot. The Y-shaped slot is placed symmetrically where as U-shaped slot is placed asymmetrically to the center of the patch to achieve the desired tri-band characteristics. The return loss characteristics show...

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed Ultra Wideband (UWB) slot antenna with reconfigurable rejection bands is presented in this paper. The antenna has a rectangular slot with triangular structure that acts as a tuning stub with CPW feed. The notch band is achieved by inserting a rectangular slot in the ground plane with a length of λ/2. The rejection of the bands 3.1 GHz – 3.9 GHz, 4 GHz–5.3 GHz and ...

A novel uniplanar slot dipole antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) is proposed for dual-band operation. The frequency ratio between the first spurious and fundamental modes of the slot dipole antenna can be conveniently adjusted with the use of four slot stubs introduced on its two arms. Furthermore, the radiation patterns at the first spurious mode are modified by adding four parasitic sl...

The effects of tuning the parameters of an annular-ring circular patch antenna with a cross-slot are analyzed and discussed. Then, based on this structure, a novel antenna with an electromagnetic bandgap cell system, which consists of a 4×4 annular-slot array in the groundplane, is designed and both numerically and experimentally evaluated. When compared to the annular-ring patch antenna on a g...

A compact printed ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with multi-notched characteristics is presented. By inserting multiple E-shaped slot in micro strip feed line and ground plane, additional resonances are excited. The multi notch has been created by embedding a pair of – L shaped arm in the radiating patch and a modified E-slot defected ground structure in the feeding line. The designed an...

A compact printed wide-slot (PWS) antenna is proposed for UWB applications. The proposed UWB-PWS antenna basically consists of a stepped microstrip feed-line with a rectangular patch stub and a rectangular wide-slot element at the aperture. Additional parasitic split-ring elements are placed along the patch stub to achieve notch-band characteristics. As the proposed antenna in absence of the ri...
