A low-profile microstrip planar monopole antenna with triple-band operation for WiMAX and WLAN applications is proposed. The antenna has a simple structure which consists of a rectangular radiation patch with an L-shaped slot and an inverted L-shaped stub extending from the ground plane. By etching an L-shaped slot on the rectangular radiation patch, the antenna can excite two resonant modes. T...

A CPW-fed ultra-wideband antenna was designed. The antenna was etched on a single-layer copper-cladding substrate, of which the material was FR4 with relative permittivity of 4.4, and the magnitude was 40.0 mm × 50.0 mm × 1.6 mm. The parameters of the antenna are simulated and optimized with HFSS. This paper proposes a new trapezoidal CPW-fed UWB antenna that the bandwidth (return loss ≤ −10 dB...

This paper deals with a scheme of Antenna array side lobe reduction by varying amplitude of each element of the antenna array using the Tsukamoto fuzzy logic controller. Here it has been tried to reduce the Side Lobe Level of the antenna array radiation pattern by changing the amplitude of the antenna array elements. Spacing between the antenna array elements and the corresponding phase shift i...

RFID is very challenging area in today’s world. The basic elements of RFID system are reader and tag. The main element of the RFID system is TAG antenna. Most of the UHF RFID tags have to be connected to very small objects so it is essential that the tag antenna should be miniaturized without degrading the radiation efficiency. There are various techniques to miniaturize antenna means reduce th...

Attempt is made to modify the radiation pattern of a patch antenna using a meta-structure consisting of an array of monopole antennas in the near field. The effect of the metastructure on the radiation characteristics of the patch antenna, for different angular arrangements of the metastructure plates, has been experimentally studied.

This paper presents a microstrip antenna using CPW-fed heptagonal shaped antenna embedded with triangular shaped slots for WLAN/WIMAX applications. The proposed antenna provides an impedance bandwidth of 3.08 GHz. The antenna exhibits dual frequency bands 3.4 GHz to 6.48 GHz, covering WLAN and WiMAX bands. The parametric study is performed to understand the characteristics of the proposed anten...

The terahertz pulse energy from photoconductive antenna is mainly derived from that stored in the static bias field. To obtain high intense THz radiation, the distribution of electrical field in semi-insulating GaAs photoconductive antennas was studied at square DC bias voltage. Due to the trap-enhanced space-charge, the electrical field is enhanced at anode and extent to cathode. So the highes...

In this paper, the authors propose a circularly polarized printed antenna combining a slot array antenna and a patch antenna, with dual-band operation. The proposed antenna has good isolation performance, is compact, and has simple configuration. This antenna is composed of two parts, a patch antenna (for Rx) on the top, and a slot array antenna (for Tx) on the bottom, respectively. The element...

It is very common that when a broadcaster needs to install an FM transmitting antenna within a large metropolitan area he places it on the tallest structure or building available. When the rooftop is already occupied by a large number of other types of transmitting and receiving antennas, the panel dipole antenna should be chosen. This antenna is secured to the side walls of the upper floors wi...

In recent years, a large number of dual-band antennas have been developed for wireless applications [1]-[6]. Most of these dual-band antennas are used for mobile terminals, such as cellular phones or laptop computers. For such applications, the desirable radiation patterns are usually omnidirectional. A unidirectional radiation pattern is sometime required for wireless base station and/or acces...
