Different feeding techniques of microstrip patch antennas with different spiral defected ground structures are presented in this paper. The investigated structures illustrate some merits in designing multi-electromagnetic band-gap structures by adjusting the capacitance and changing the inductance through varying the width and length of spiral defected ground structure. Then by applying the thr...

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, ...

A new compact microstrip bandpass filter design is introduced in this paper as a candidate for use in modern wireless communication systems. The proposed filter structure is composed of two fractal-based microstrip resonators. The structure of each resonator is in the form of the Hilbert fractal curve geometry. Two microstrip single-mode resonators with structures based on the 3rd and 4th itera...

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

Rapid passive device modeling is discussed in this work based on test structures fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process with M1–M9 copper metal layers and one aluminum metal layer AP. Capacitance extraction for overlapping microstrips and shielded microstrip structures is investigated. Individual capacitances are modeled in terms of area and fringe components, either between microstrips or between ...

The basic shape structures are designed at frequency 2.4 GHz based on radiating structure 5 and 5.2 GHz based on radiating structure 3. The frequency bands that have been chosen are based on the IEEE standards. Then both structures are combined to achieve dual band resonant. The techniques that have been used are by designing the 3.5 shaped by using microstrip, planar and coplanar waveguide str...

In this article, three new green's functions are presented for a narrow strip line (not a thin wire) inside or on a homogeneous dielectric, supposing quasi-TEM dominant mode. These functions have no singularity in contrast to so far presented ones, so that they can be used easily to determine the capacitance matrix of multi-layer and single-layer homogeneous coupled microstrip lines. To obtain ...

The analysis and optimal design of a multi-layered microstrip sensor for measuring moisture content of ricegrain are described. The microstrip sensing structure consists of three layers: substrate, protective layer and semi-infinite grain medium. The effective dielectric constant, characteristic impedance and attenuation or insertion loss of this structure are calculated at various moisture con...
