Power patterns in the frequency domain are usually used to describe the antenna performance in narrowband communication systems; however, they are not sufficient for ultra wideband (UWB) antennas in wideband communication systems. In this paper, energy pattern and energy gain are introduced to describe the performance of UWB antennas. Numerical simulations and measurements are used to demonstra...

A novel multiband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system is proposed. The MIMO antenna system consists of two antenna elements, each of which comprises of three radiators: a driven monopole, an S-shaped strip and an inverted F-shaped strip and occupies footprint of 15x18.5x0.8 mm3 only. The driven monopole acts as a quarter-wave monopole and stimulate higher mode resonance. The tw...

Abstract—In this paper the simulation of ultra wideband microstrip antenna is considered. Because of the ultra wideband characteristics of this antenna, it is better to use time domain simulation methods. In this work we use three dimensional transmission line matrix method (3D-TLM) and EPML-TLM algorithm for modeling PML boundary condition directly applied to TLM algorithm. Finally simulation ...

Using numerical and experimental techniques, a wideband, low-Q, electrically small antenna design is characterized as a function of frequency and the relati e phasing between antenna elements. The antenna demonstrates wideband operation, with a radiation Q approximately a factor of 20 below the Q-limit established by Chu for electrically small, omnidirectional antennas. 2000 John Wiley & Sons, ...

A novel miniature wideband rectangular patch antenna is designed for wireless local area network (WLANs) applications and operating for 5-6 GHz ISM band, and wideband applications. The proposed antenna gives a bandwidth of 4.84 to 6.56 GHz for S11<-10dB. The antenna has the dimensions of 20 mm by 15 mm by 0.8 mm on FR4 substrate. Rectangular slot and step have been used for bandwidth improvement.

Abstract—In this paper, a wideband planar dipole antenna is proposed. Compared to conventional dipole antennas, this antenna has wideband impedance matching, simple structure and compact size. From EM simulations, dimensions of antennas are chosen for better performance. For verification, this newly proposed structure is fabricated and measured. It is shown that return loss of the antenna betwe...

Several wideband antennas are presented for either wireless application. This paper presents the performance of a simple monopole antenna loaded with an annular dielectric resonator as a wideband transmitting/receiving antenna. By adjusting the length of the monopole and load arm, a 10-dB bandwidth of 94% is achieved while maintaining monopole-like radiation pattern, which covers UWB applicatio...

A new ultawideband circular fractal antenna with notched-band characteristics is presented. A notched-band characteristic is achieved by employing a U-shape slot in 50 Ω feed lines. The ultra-wideband impedance matching and compact size have been obtained by using CPW-feed technique and the fractal concept. The measured result of proposed fractal antenna exhibits the ultra wideband characterist...

A simple, compact, slot loaded stacked wideband microstrip patch antenna is presented in this communication. The radiating element consists of a rectangular patch with a Tshaped slot and is fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line. The proposed antenna is simulated using IE3D software, 12.32 version of Zeland. The simulated results show that the antenna can exhibit wideband characteristics. The impedance ...

A square slot antenna fed by two orthogonal feedlines is designed for dual polarized applications. The presented antenna has not only a dual operating band, but also a very wide bandwidth. The bandwidth is 91% in the first band and 40% in the second one. It can simultaneously serve most of the modern wireless communication applications that operate at 1.8, 1.9, 2.4, 5.2 and 5.8 GHz and require ...
