In this paper capacitive fed rectangular patch Microstrip antenna loaded with I-shape slots is developed. The model of Antenna uses the capacitive feed strip which is fed by coaxial probe using equivalent circuit approach. The proposed antenna has the impedance bandwidth of 58% in the frequency range 3.9GHz to 7.14GHz which shows wideband characteristics. Gain is almost constant in the entire b...

This paper describes the design and testing of an aperture-coupled circularly polarized antenna for global positioning satellite (GPS) applications. The antenna operates at both the L1 and L2 frequencies of 1575 and 1227 MHz, which is required for differential GPS systems in order to provide maximum positioning accuracy. Electrical performance, lowprofile, and cost were equally important requir...

This paper presents the use of PN junction diode on fractal monopole antenna with microstrip line for rreconfigurable multiband antennas. The developed multiband antennas focus on the applications for Wi-Fi, cordless telephone and satellite & radar. A fractal reconfigurable antenna was designed using the known fractal geometry such as Sierpinski gasket is fed by strip line using coaxial feed. A...

GNSS receivers provide position information in a convenient way. However, additional orientation information cannot be fulfilled directly by a single antenna receiver up to now. This paper describes an approach for determination of orientation using a single GNSS receiver based only on its own static observations. As estimable base quantity, satellite positions are used as a reference in the mo...

In this paper, a novel compact frequency-reconfigurable monopole antenna with switchable symmetric slot structure is presented. The frequency-reconfigurable capability of the antenna is achieved by using a switchable slotted structure on the ground plane. The designed antenna has a simple structure and compact size of 40X40 mm . The antenna, which supports most applicable frequency bands above ...

We address the problem of interference as related to Satellite Personal Communication Networks (S-PCNs). Basic low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation is considered. The paper uses combined adaptive antenna arrays and adaptive filtering technique. This hybrid linear adaptive technique provides improved performance eliminating interference, particularly uncorrelated signals residing in the antenna s...

NAVSYS High Gain Advanced GPS Receiver (HAGR) uses a digital beam-steering antenna array to enable up to eight GPS satellites to be tracked, each with up to 10 dBi of additional antenna gain over a conventional receiver solution. This digital, PC-based architecture provides a cost-effective solution for commercial applications where more precise GPS measurements are needed. The additional gain ...

This research applied Proportion and Integration (PI) type fuzzy methods for mobile satellite antenna control system design. The detailed block diagram of a satellite antenna tracking system is very lousy; it is very difficult to obtain the key parameters for analyses and simulation. Thus a simplified model of antenna pitching or yawing control system is applied to speed up the design and obtai...

Ground stations which integrate the control segment of a satellite mission have as a common feature, the use of large reflector antennas for space communication. Apart from many advantages, large dishes pose a number of impairments regarding their mechanical complexity, low flexibility, and high operation and maintenance costs. hus, reflector antennas are expensive and require the installation ...

A new small, low-profile and light-weight helical antenna element was designed for L-band satellite communications. The novelty of the antenna is that its input impedance matching has been improved by adjusting the copper strip matching stub, while its circular polarization performance has been enhanced by changing the parasitic radiation patch loaded in the front of the antenna. The optimal an...
