As important fundamental equipment, high voltage switchgears are widely used in electric power systems and directly relative to the power reliability and quality. Partial discharge (PD) online monitoring is one of the most effective methods used for insulation testing and diagnosis in high voltage switchgears and power systems. This paper proposes a unique ultra-wide-band (UWB) antenna with hig...

This study describes a tunable coplanar waveguide fed (CPW) rectangularslot antenna to work within ultra wide band (UWB) for the future communication systems. This slot antenna of area 30*20mm is designed on a FR4 substrate and its operation was tested in terms of return loss and gain. The developed antenna shows VSWR  2 bandwidth of 800MHz in 0.7-1.51GHzband as well as bandwidth of 6.06GHz in...

In recent years, the demands on a large capacity, high-reliability and high quality are remarkable in the wireless communication system. UWB (Ultra Wide Band) wireless communications can transmit at a speed of several gigabits per second [1]. A wideband antenna is required for the system because a very wide frequency band is utilized in UWB. However, it is difficult to obtain an antenna that ha...

An ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with dual band-notch characteristic is proposed. Dual arm spiral resonators (DASR) are placed on both sides of the feed line to create band notches at 5.25 and 5.8GHz for the upper and lower WLAN bands respectively. First the antenna is optimized individually for both upper and lower WLAN band-notch behaviors then embedded together for dual band-notch ch...

This paper proposes new design of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antennas using multiple rings with and without notch. A parametric study of antenna parameters, including the length and width of the ground plane, the gap between the patch and ground, and iteration number is presented. The optimized design has been printed on a FR4 substrate of εr = 4.3, h = 1.53mm with substrate size of 44.2mm x 45 mm. T...

Since the first Report and Order by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized the unlicensed use of ultra wideband (UWB) which must meet the emission masks on February 14, 2002 [1], both industry and academia have paid much attention to R&D of commercial UWB systems. Among UWB system design, the UWB antenna is the key component. Recently, a considerable amount of researches have be...

In this manuscript, a novel design of ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with dual frequency band-stop performance is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of an ordinary square radiating patch with a pair of rotated T-shaped slits, and a modified ground plane with an inverted Ω-shaped and a pair of rectangular-ring slots. In the presented structure, by cutting a pair of rectangularring sl...

Abstract—In this paper, the design and development of a novel active antenna including circuits for Ultra-wide band (UWB) pulse generation and transmission have been described. In this design a pulse with pulse-width approximately 150 ps and amplitude 500 mV (peak-topeak) was generated using a single high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) as the active device (and an optional Schottky diode f...

Antenna diversity is an effective solution to mitigate multipath fading signals and enhance the system capacity. Ultra wide band has become one of the most favourable technologies for wireless communications owing to its promising features such as low susceptibility to multipath fading, reduced probability of detection and intercept, and potentially high data rates. The aim of project is to des...

Abstract—An ultra-wideband (UWB) planar monopole antenna integrated with a narrow-band (NB) cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a UWB monopole excited by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line, acting as a ground for a DRA excited by a slot. The mode HEM11δ is excited in the NB DRA. To validate the concept of integration, an antenn...
