We used two ...

in this paper a new uwb textile slot antenna has been designed with high precision. this work aimed to makecloser steps towards real wearability by investigating the possibilities of designing wearable uwb antenna wheretextile materials are used for the substrate as well as the conducting parts of the designed antenna. the antenna iscomposed of three textile layers: the top and bottom are condu...

An optimized 1×8 Vivaldi antenna array designed for the lower-band UWB (2-4 GHz) through-wall imaging systems has been developed. Tapered slot antennas were utilized as the array elements and optimized to have a compact size. A one to eight wideband Wilkinson power divider was designed and fabricated to compose the feed network for Vivaldi antenna array. Measured results of the manufactured Viv...

This paper reviews not only the characteristic of the linearly-polarized plate-laminated waveguide slot array antenna in the 60GHz band but also conversion to circular or tilted linear polarization by adding a layer of apertures over the antenna. The linearly-polarized antenna achieves about 80% antenna efficiency and more than 32 dBi of gain is achieved over 4.8GHz bandwidth. The measured cros...

A null steering GPS antenna array is designed in this paper. In the proposed method, the exact full wave antenna radiation properties with the effect of mutual couplings and nearby scatterers are considered to calculate the array steering vector, precisely. Although the proposed method is not constrained by the array geometry and the antenna element specifications, a five patch antenna elements...

This paper presents the design of a 2 x 2 microstrip array antenna suitable for wireless applications. The proposed antenna comprises of 4 rectangular patches where diagonal patches have the same length and width. A larger bandwidth and the desired resonant frequency are achieved because of a reduction in the quality factor (Q) of the patch resonator, which is due to less energy being stored be...

A novel phased array antenna with wide bandwidth and wide scan angle is presented. The radiating aperture of the phased array consists of periodically and closely spaced octagonal ring elements. Tight capacitive coupling between adjacent elements is realized by interdigitating the end portions of the ring elements. To improve the impedance matching of the individual antenna elements over wide f...

A single-layer waveguide slot array antenna of low cost and high performance for a millimetre-wave wireless communication system at 38 GHz frequency band is presented. The waveguide slots and diaphragms are located together on the cover plate of the antenna, which makes the antenna cost effective and highly efficient. Measurements show a cross-polarisation level below 26 dB and an efficiency le...

In the millimeter-wave band, the series-fed array antenna is facing a problem of large transmission loss and narrow bandwidth by using a high-permittivity and large-loss-tangent material. In this paper, an air region is inserted in the half of the height in the LTCC waveguide of εr =6.6 and tanδ =0.013 to reduce the transmission loss. The reduction of the equivalent dielectric constant by the a...
