Measurements of the antenna patterns for the high frequency component of the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-B), to fly on the NOAA-KLM polar orbiting satellites, are reported here. They were made on the Compact Antenna Test Range at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London, at three frequencies within the AMSU-B receiver's channels, centered at 89, 150, and 183.31 GHz. The main reflecto...

A microstrip patch antenna is designed that have metallic ring coplanar to radiation patch for gain enhancement 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 and width of metallic ring is...

In this article, an optimized E-shaped patch antenna for Bluetooth (2.4–2.484 GHz) and UWB (3.1–10.6 GHz) applications with WLAN (5.15–5.825 GHz) band-notched characteristics is proposed. The dimensions of the E-shaped antenna structure in addition to the position of the slotted C-shape in the ground plane are optimized using recent optimization techniques such as Modified Particle Swarm Optimi...

In this paper, a probe-fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna with partially reflective superstrate at terahertz frequency (600GHz) has been analyzed and simulated. The analysis of the partially reflective surface shows the highly reflective property of the surface over the wideband of the frequencies. The analysis of a specific configuration (rectangular patch) of partially reflective surfac...

Investigations on the optimization of feed structures for exciting the slotted line antenna for high-density plasma production are presented. Each feed structure used (except the direct feed) excites a preferred component of the wave electric/magnetic field. It is seen that the efficacy of plasma production using the different feeds depends directly on the relative importance of the field compo...

Helical antennas have been widely used in a various useful applications, due to their low weight and low profile conformability, easy and cheap realization. Radiation properties of this antenna are examined both theoretically and experimentally. In this paper, an attempt has been made to investigate new helical antenna structure for Applications. CST MWS Software is used for the simulation and ...

This paper is about designing and optimizing a new antenna employed for RFID applications at microwave frequencies. The structure is designed in a way that it resonates at 2.45GHz, which is one of the RFID frequencies. The new patch is derived from BT(Bow-Tie) antenna. It results in a reduction of the size by more than 70%, as compared to monopole patch, alongside with having an acceptable gain...

—In recent years many studies are concentrated on multiband micro strip antenna structures for important purposes in wireless communication systems, medical imaging, and radar sensor resolution. In this paper, we printed a square radiator patch on FR4 substrate material. The relative dielectric constant was 4.4, and the thickness of the substrate material was 1.6 mm. The patch was fed by a tran...
