Based on the C-shaped microstrip slot antenna, a new photonic band gap substrate for multifrequency microstrip slot antenna is designed. The antenna has a groove been dug below the radiation plate, within which the radiation plate is placed, and air triangular prism column gaps with different height are placed in the substrate periodically. Numerical simulation is performed for the antenna with...

After the release of the unlicensed Ultra Wideband (UWB) spectrum 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for the commercial purposes by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), industries and academia pay much attention due to its properties of excellent immunity to multi-path interference, high secured data rate, low power consumption, and simple configuration. The feasible UWB antenna design face some chall...

Autonomous communications systems often involve the use of separate solar cells and antennas, which necessitate a compromise in the utilization of the limited surface area available. These separate items may be combined,, provided that the antennas and solar cells are compatible. To show the compatibility of solar cells and antennas, the concept is used to create linearly polarized slot antenna...

A compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed ultrawideband (UWB) antenna is proposed with band-notched characteristic. The antenna has compact size of 29 x 31 mm 2 . A novel wide polygon-slot is inserted on the antenna to obtain good impedance matching and wide bandwidth. A tapered radiating patch is placed inside the polygon-slot. An embedded C-slot in the radiating patch avoids potential interferen...

A novel idea of conformal corrugated edges (CCE) is put forward in this paper for tapered slot antennas to obtain improved low-frequency characteristics. The CCE is realized using conformal slots whose two longitudinal boundary lines are modelled using curvilinear function of the curves that form the tapered slots. So the conformal slots can sufficiently corrugate edges of the tapered slot ante...

Abstract—In this paper, the design of a multiband antenna for WLAN and WiMAX applications is proposed. The proposed antenna comprises a circular radiating patch with a pair of rectangular slits and an inverted U-shaped slot. A hexagon-shaped slot is cut on the ground plane. By adjusting the inverted U-shaped slot, a pair of rectangular slits, and a hexagon-shaped slot, three distinct resonance ...

In this paper, the authors propose a circularly polarized printed antenna combining a slot array antenna and a patch antenna, with dual-band operation. The proposed antenna has good isolation performance, is compact, and has simple configuration. This antenna is composed of two parts, a patch antenna (for Rx) on the top, and a slot array antenna (for Tx) on the bottom, respectively. The element...

We present a complete experimental characterization of a quasioptical twin-slot antenna coupled small area 1.0 0.15 m2 NbN hot electron bolometer HEB mixer compatible with currently available solid state tunable local oscillator LO sources. The required LO power absorbed in the HEB is analyzed in detail and equals only 25 nW. Due to the small HEB volume and wide antenna bandwidth, an unwanted d...

A printed slot antenna fed by a microstrip line with a diamond-shaped tuning stub for bandwidth enhancement is proposed and experimentally validated. Impedance bandwidth, radiation pattern, and gain characteristics of the proposed antenna are investigated. The simulated results show that the impedance matching of the proposed rotated slot antenna is greatly affected by the dimension of the slot...

This paper shows a comparative study of Multi U–shaped slot antenna with the substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) fed patch antenna. By cutting four asymmetrical U-slots, we can make U-shaped patch antenna. Advantages of this structure are the simple feed, single layer structure, simple structure of antenna, one more degree of freedom can be achieved by the asymmetry of U-slot arm. The design gu...
