In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...

This paper gives information about construction of planar rectangular monopole antenna on Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Behaviour of such planar antenna is same as the rectangular patch antenna with finite ground plane which lies in same plane of given PCB. The designed antenna is a broadband antenna as its ratio bandwidth falls under broadband category. In comparison with monopole antenna broad...

This paper tells how to construct rectangular monopole antenna which will be printed on printed circuit board (PCB). The antenna behaves as planar monopole antenna as it has rectangular patch and ground plane which lies in same plane of PCB. Also this antenna is a broadband antenna because its ratio bandwidth lies under broadband category. In comparison with monopole antenna broadband planer mo...

In this paper, a novel compact and wideband fylfot-shaped planar monopole antenna is proposed. The fylfot-shaped is suggested to reduce the volume of a general crossed planar monopole antenna. The volume of the proposed antenna is about 1/4 of a general crossed planar monopole antenna under the conditions where the wideband characteristics are maintained. This technique is suitable for the desi...

In this paper we have investigated compact printed semicircular disc monopole antenna, which is basically printed microstrip antenna with etched ground plane for UWB applications. In particular we have simulated very compact semicircular disc monopole antennas for UWB communication. Simple rectangular microstrip line is used for feeding the printed monopole antenna and its frequency bandwidth u...

The possibility of using non-Foster circuit to expand the bandwidth of a monopole antenna is investigated theoretically. Beginning with an inductor-loaded monopole antenna resonating at different frequencies by changing the value of the loaded inductor, we show that a frequency-dependent inductor is needed to enhance the bandwidth of the monopole antenna. The curve for the reactance of the freq...

This paper presents the results of a new monopole antenna that exhibits 2.75-10.7 GHz performance. The proposed antenna consists of a radiating patch with notches excited by capacitive coupling feed. Also, the antenna’s truncated ground-plane incorporates a central notch. This modification significantly improves the antenna’s impedance bandwidth by 118% over an ultra-wideband frequency range. T...

A novel ultra-broadband printed monopole antenna with 10 dB return loss bandwidth from 2.1-21.5GHz is proposed. This printed monopole antenna is constructed using cross-slotted modified circular patch with etched ground plane. This UWB printed monopole antenna is microstrip-fed with a triangular tapered input line for broadband matching.

This paper discusses the investigation of a wearable textile monopole antenna on specific absorption rate (SAR) for bodycentric wireless communication applications at 2.45 GHz. The antenna is characterized on a realistic 8 x 8 x 8 mm resolution truncated Hugo body model in CST Microwave Studio software. The result exhibited that the simulated SAR values were reduced significantly by 83.5% as th...
