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 set of hybrid microstrip patch and semi-circular cavity antennas is introduced. The semi-circular cavity is implemented using Half-mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide (HMSIW) technique. Different shapes of patch include rectangular, semi-circular and equilateral triangular are excited using proximity effect by the circular SIW cavity at its TM010 mode of operation. The whole structures have b...

Kyungho Chung et al. 379 ABSTRACT⎯A novel reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna with frequency and polarization diversities is proposed. A U-slot is incorporated into a square patch, and a PIN diode is utilized to switch the slot on and off, which realizes the frequency diversity characteristic. The polarization diversities among linear polarization (LP), right-hand circular polarization (RHC...

Radiation Characteristics of a circular sector micro strip antenna (CSMA) designed for the 60 GHz millimeter-wave band an application is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of a circular patch with sector slot excited by micro strip feeding technique. Substrate material chosen here is the Kapton which is a polyimide used in high performance flexible printed circuit and therma...

This paper presents a compact dual-band slot antenna for 2.4/5 GHz WLAN applications. The radiating elements of the proposed antenna are composed of a square ring slot and a circular ring slot, operating at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands respectively. The antenna size is very compact (40 mm × 40 mm × 1 mm), and can be integrated easily with other RF front-end circuits. It is demonstrated that the prop...

A circularly polarized single feed microstrip slot antenna has been introduced in this paper as a candidate for use in GPS applications. The slot structure of the proposed antenna has been created on the radiating patch in two steps. At first, a 45 degree rotated square has been etched at the center of the patch, and then a Sierpinski gasket type of the 3rd iteration occupies the resulting slot...

This paper presents a frequency reconfigurable inverted circular patch antenna with Uslot. The incorporation of U-slot in the circular patch provides a wide impedance bandwidth than conventional patch antenna. By introducing shorts at appropriate position on U-slot and on feed, antenna can be made resonant at two frequency bands (1.80GHz-1.98GHz) and (2.10GHz-2.68GHz) in two modes. The proposed...

A novel design of a temple shaped printed slot antenna for circular polarization applications is presented in this paper. The slot, half trapezoidal and half semi-circular in shape, is excited by a 50 Ω CPW feed terminated with a tuning stub. Modifications of the initial design for improving return loss and circular polarization characteristics are proposed and discussed. The antenna is very co...

A novel circularly polarized antenna with a circular radiating aperture and circular ground plane for broadband characteristics is presented in this paper. The vertical and horizontal components of the L-shaped probe are separated and placed at the front and back sides of the substrate. The antenna is excited by a microstrip line which is connected to the vertical component of the L-shaped prob...

In this paper, a new slot patch antenna with enhanced bandwidth is proposed. The patch has a compact dimension of 70mm*70mm. The antenna was designed for operating in S band (2.75 – 3.5GHz) frequency range with a circular polarization. Variations of the slot size, is a solution to tune the antenna performance. An optimized result has been achieved to have the bandwidth of 200MHZ (S11≤-10dB) at ...
