The paper presents the performances of microstrip patch antennas excited by the aperture-coupling feed that is composed of a T-shaped microstrip feed line and an annular-ring slot. Because the annular-ring slot is designed at a full-wavelength resonant mode, a broad impedance bandwidth can be obtained by combing the resonant modes of the coupling slot and radiating patch; moreover, a low cross ...

This paper proposes a parallel coupled microstrip bandpass filter (BPF) with ring Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) cells on the middle layer for spurious suppression. The ring EBG cells of the middle layer add a good stopband-rejection mode to the second harmonics of the parallel coupled microstrip BPF with suppression of over −50 dB, without affecting the center frequency and insertion loss of th...

─ A simple and novel low-loss diplexer with two folded Open-Loop Ring Resonators (OLRRs) that couple three microstrip lines is proposed. The first passband and second passband of the designed diplexer could be easily and accurately shifted to a desired frequency and construct the bandpass filters by adjusting the physical dimensions of the OLRRs. These results suggested that the proposed diplex...

A microstrip patch antenna is designed that have metallic ring coplanar to radiation patch and defected ground structure to enhance the gain is proposed. The design forces conversion of the surface wave energy into the space wave energy by the scattering of surface waves from metallic ring. The metallic ring is placed around the metal patch at a distance of d1 from the edges of the metal patch ...

A Compact Corner Split Ring with C Slot Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna fed by a 50 Ω microstripline is discussed. split ring shaped slot has been etched in rectangular microstrip antenna. The increases the length of surface current for dominant mode TM10 leading to decrease resonance frequency. Size reduction and hexaband obtained proposed antenna provides both size best suited wireless c...

In this article, an open slot split ring resonator (OSSRR) is introduced to realize a composite right/left handed (CRLH) transmission line structure in microstrip technology. The CRLH line is synthesized by etching OSSRR in the ground plane and interdigital capacitor in the microstrip line. Simulated and measured scattering parameter of the structure is presented. The dispersion characteristic ...

A novel reconfigurable microstrip Bandpass filter (BPF) for centre frequency (fc) 3.5 GHz is proposed in this paper. A Square ring microstrip structure with gap coupled feed has been used. A new comb-tooth structure is proposed, where combination of tooth connection is responsible for the variation of bandwidth, this scheme has been used to achieve a fractional bandwidth (FBW) variation of 0.85...

Compact Circularly Polarized Slot-Ring Antenna and Microstrip Bandpass Filter Using Triangular Open-Loop Resonators. (December 2006) Muhammad Fahad Farooqui, B.E., NED University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kai Chang In this thesis two different research topics are undertaken, both in the area of compact RF/microwave circuits design. The first topic involves the design of a compact circula...

Neural network computational modules have recently gained as an unconventional and useful tool for RF and microwave modeling and design. Neural network is trained to learn the behavior of Annular Ring Microstrip Antenna’s equivalent circuit parameters. A trained neural network is used for designing fast and less error answers to the task that has to be learned. In this paper, structure of Annul...

Like many forms of microstrip patches, the annular ring has received considerable attention. When operated in its fundamental (TM) mode, this printed antenna is smaller than its rectangular or circular counterparts. The annular ring may also be somewhat broadband in nature when operated near the TM resonance [5]. It has been shown that the structure is a good resonator (with very little radiati...
