A novel compact circular-polarization (CP) operation of the square microstrip antenna with four slits and a pair of truncated corners is proposed and investigated. Experimental results show that the proposed compact CP design can have an antenna-size reduction of about 36% as compared to the conventional corner-truncated square microstrip antenna at a given operating frequency. Also, the requir...

in this article, the linear array (with 20 elements in the horizontal orientation) of microstrip antenna is examined with horizontal polarization. the set includes three microstrip substrates. there is a power network in two lower substrates and microstrip patches in the upper substrate. excitation of patches has been done as coupled through the power network in two lower substrates. using the ...

A single layer, single feed compact slotted patch antenna is thoroughly simulated in this paper. Resonant f requency has been reduced drastically by cutting three equal slots which are same hexagonal structure at the upper right, upper left and lower left corner from the conventional microstrip patch antenna. It is shown that the simulated results are in acceptable agreement. More importantly, ...

High directive stacked multilayer and edge coupled planar microstrip patch antenna made from a single-layer helical resonating metamaterial superstrate has been investigated. Metamaterials are artificial materials whose properties not found in nature. These materials have negative permittivity and permeability and negative index of refraction over a frequency band. In this paper, an innovative ...

This paper presents the design of a dual stacked microstrip antenna over the frequency range of 9.5–16 GHz. Investigations show that in the new structure the impedance bandwidth of the antenna is increased to 44% and the thickness of the antenna decreases to 0.14λ. Furthermore, the gain bandwidth of the antenna (above 8 dB) is increased to 5.1 GHz (40%).

The dual band microstrip antenna is realized by placing the open circuit stub or by cutting the slot inside the patch. The compact microstrip antenna is realized by placing the shorting post or plate along the zero field line at the fundamental mode of the patch. In this paper, a compact variation of equilateral triangular microstrip antenna, a shorted 600 sectoral microstrip antenna is discuss...

The microstrip patch is one of the most preferred antenna structures for ofordable and compact design for wireless system and RF applications. This paper compares the rectangular patch antenna and equilateral triangular microstrip antenna in terms of their return losses and radiation pattern. For the comparative study the Ansoft HFSS V11 is used. Keywords— rectangular micro strip antenna, retur...

A stacked notched rectangular microstrip patch antenna for WLAN applications has been presented in this paper. The desired band is obtained by tuning the dimensions of notches and size of the stacked driven and parasitic patches. The same aspect ratio is maintained for both the patches and their respective notches. The bandwidth and gain of this antenna is 23.6% and 7.5dBi, respectively. Antenn...

The C-shaped microstrip antenna is a compact variation of rectangular microstrip antenna and it has smaller bandwidth as compared to the rectangular patch. In this paper, bandwidth of C-shaped microstrip antenna is first increased by using proximity feeding technique. Further gap-coupled configuration of two C-shaped microstrip antennas on thicker substrate is proposed. It gives bandwidth of mo...

A common technique to realize wideband microstrip antenna is by introducing slots at an appropriate position inside the patch. In this communication a stacked configurated microstrip patch antenna with slots similar to ISI shape introduced on a square radiating patch with a microstrip line feed is presented. The slots introduced in the radiating patch of the proposed antenna increase the fringi...
