A new design of a wideband dually-polarized shorted microstrip patch antenna coupled to hook shaped probes is presented. The antenna is designed to operate around 4 GHz. The mechanisms of the shorted microstrip patch antenna provide wider impedance bandwidth over 37%. The shorted patch is smaller than as with to the unshorted patch. The present design provides about 40 dB isolation level betwee...

The polarization-sensitive cross slot antenna recently constructed by Papathanakos [1] was used to investigate the possibility of designing a polarization-sensitive bolometric detector. A bolometer or other absorber located near a polarizationsensitive antenna may couple to the antenna, preferentially absorbing electromagnetic waves of the polarization radiated by the antenna. Lock-in amplifica...

A low profile patch antenna for GPS application is here proposed and analyzed. The radiating structure consists on a square patch with 8 slits introduced on each side and on the corners to reduce the overall dimensions. The circular polarization is obtained by quadrature feeding the patch with two pins placed symmetrically on the two main axis. The 90° phase shift is obtained by a 90° microstri...

This report presents experimental results on a Multi-User MultiInput Multi-Output (MU-MIMO) channel of an antenna with orthogonal patterns and polarizations in an outdoor urban area. The antenna configuration employing orthogonal patterns and polarizations is useful in achieving a small terminal antenna since many antennas can be placed in the same location. The properties of this antenna are c...

Characteristics of a single-layer, dual-frequency microstrip patch antenna, which uses a T-strip loaded rectangular microstrip patch, are studied. This antenna is easy to achieve good impedance matching at both frequencies by tuning the feed position and other design parameters. Another advantageous aspect is that it has high polarization purity. A detailed parameter study is performed and the ...
