Bow-tie antenna is one of wideband antennas [1]. It has been reported that the bow-tie antenna has been miniaturized by adding folded elements [2]. In this paper, it is shown that bending the bow-tie antenna with folded elements is effective method for miniaturization. The bent bow-tie antenna with folded elements can be more miniaturized than conventional bow-tie antenna with folded elements, ...

In this paper we present a novel miniaturized dual-band patch antenna based on the metamaterial concept. Complementary split ring resonators, which are excellent structures for miniaturization; along with spiral resonators are used in the proposed design for obtaining a compact dual-band patch antenna. The original patch which is designed to resonate at 2.86 GHz is found to resonate at 1.92 GHz...

In this paper various layered planar periodic structures which provide miniaturization of planar antennas are proposed and discussed. The proposed designs are based on two concepts, reactive impedance surfaces and complementary periodic structures. In the proposed structures, complementary periodic rings and slots are patterned on the intermediate boundaries of the dielectric layers. A patch an...

In this paper a novel structure of metamaterial is proposed in order to miniaturize a rectangular microstrip patch antenna. The metamaterial is composed of two nested split octagons which are located on a 10 mmx10 mm Rogers RT/duroid 5880 with 0.7874 mm thickness and dielectric constant of 2.2. A 3X5 array of such metamaterials is placed on the patch antenna substrate. By using this metamateria...

The design and development of a proximity fed dualband microstrip patch antenna based on David fractal geometry are presented. David fractal microstrip antenna offers good performance in the 1.754 1.816 GHz and 3.37 3.415 GHz bands and is suitable for GSM 1800, WiMAX applications. The use of David fractal geometry offers miniaturization of the antenna structure. The proposed first iteration fra...

A novel Defected Ground Structure (DGS) is proposed to miniaturize a 2×2 Modified Corporate Feed Planar Antenna Array (M-CFPA) with modified corporate feeding network. The DGS altered the surface current distribution and shifted resonance frequency lower side. After running parametric sweep of length width patch antenna element, achieved miniaturized array resonating at 2.4 GHz frequency. desig...
