In this paper, we present the design and the measurement of two antennas realized on a 130nm CMOS process. They both radiate in the 60 GHz band and are dedicated to Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) applications. The antennas are manufactured within the frame of a multi-wafer project with several surrounding microelectronic circuits. The first antenna is an Inverted-F antenna (IFA). It has ...

The scalability of the resonant frequency in graphene-based nano-antennas (graphennas) and metallic nanoantennas as a function of their length is analyzed. The antenna resonances are obtained by combining the dispersion relation in free-standing graphene and gold layers, respectively, with the resonance condition. Graphennas are found to have a better scalability in terms of their resonant freq...

Two dual-printed dipole antennas for WLAN applications operating in the 802.11 a/b/g (2.4-2.5 Ghz and 4.9-5.875 GHz) frequency bands are presented. Genetic Algorithm optimization (GA) is applied first, to a classical dual band printed dipole antenna schema. Later on, a pre-fractal technique is proposed on the larger strip and electromagnetic parameters are re-optimized to achieve a more compact...

We present design results of two cases of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) quasi circular patch antennas, one with coplanar feeding (CPW) and the other one with microstrip feeding. Both antennas are an evolution from a circular patch structure softening the edges to improve the antenna performance, agreeing with the theory proposed Kraus. After the evolution there were improvements concerning reflection c...

Microstrip fed inset patch antennas embedded in planar and cylindrically curved surfaces are introduced to be used in Body Area Networks (BANs) presented. These antennas are designed as wearable antennas for industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band wireless communication networking. The proposed antennas consist of 50 Ω microstrip line feeding inset patch printed on the front face of diele...

Three types of quad-band millimetric-wave two-port MIMO antenna systems are proposed for the forthcoming generations mobile handsets. A novel printed is introduced to be single element antennas. It shown that antennas capable producing both spatial and polarization diversities enhance performance communications. Two configurations co-polarized provide diversity, whereas a cross-polarized produc...

A printed monopole ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with frequency band-notched characteristics is proposed and investigated. The antenna consists of a half-disk shaped structure combined with an inverted isosceles trapezoid structure. To achieve the frequency band notched characteristics, an open-ended thin slit with a length of about one quarter guided wavelength is inserted on the radiator. Mult...
