In this paper, two new line-fed loaded planar antennas are proposed for ultra-wideband applications. The first antenna is a circular patch with a circular ring as a Defected Ground Structure (DGS). A 50 Ohm microstrip line passes through the antenna which is symmetrical between the feed and the load. The impedance bandwidth of the first antenna with S11 < −10 dB is more than 10 GHz, from 3 GHz ...

A novel narrow compact CPW-fed rectangular monopole patch antenna is proposed for UMTS band. The purpose is to design a new narrow compact antenna structure by using of a new CPW feeding technique. The most significant characteristics of proposed antenna are: narrow compact size of 67.3×7.8×0.762 mm and very simple structure. The proposed low profile antenna is printed on a single layer dielect...

Band-notch characteristic has been of great interest recently to overcome the electromagnetic interference of Ultra-wideband systems (UWB) with other existing ones. In this paper, we present a novel microstrip-fed antenna with band rejection property appropriate for UWB applications. Band-notch characteristic has been achieved by adding a rectangular resonant element to the ground section. A pr...

This study describes the bending effect on an Ultra Wideband (UWB) microstrip patch antenna on the antenna performance in terms of impedance bandwidth and radiation pattern. Comparison is done between the UWB planar antenna and the bent UWB antenna. The bending effect causes shift in resonant frequencies with slight change in the impedance bandwidth. A circuit model comprising lumped elements i...

In this paper, a wideband circularly polarized (CP) filtering hybrid antenna is presented. The liquid dielectric resonator (DR) excited by microstrip-coupled cross-slot to generate CP radiation. Four inverted L-shaped strips are loaded on the ground plane introduce an additional resonant point, then two adjacent axial ratio (AR) minima combined improve bandwidth of single-feed antenna.

Abstract—A new wideband and high-gain dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is proposed. Three cylindrical dielectric resonators (DRs) with different materials and different sizes and a metallic cylinder are designed to obtain a wideband bandwidth and a high gain. The stacked structure provides a wideband bandwidth, and the cavity formed by the metallic cylinder provides a high gain. The measured ...

ABSTRACT: The printed antenna is one of the best antenna structures, due to its low cost and compact design. In this paper, we present a new approach to improve the radiation effectiveness and the performance of antennas by miniaturization of the size. Indeed, we have studied the performance of ultra wideband antenna which consists of a ring-shaped patch. This study was made for the whole frequ...

In this paper, a novel wideband single-feed circularly polarized patch antenna is presented. The antenna consists of an L-shaped probe, four parasitic patches perpendicular to the probe, and a planar reflector. By modifying the structure of the patches, two orthogonal radiation modes are created to realize the circular polarization in the broadside direction. This antenna exhibits a wide impeda...
