Antennas conformal to a Cubesat surface have many advantages compared to deployed antennas. This study presents two types of conformal antennas that do not compete for the expensive surface real estate with solar cell. The first type of antenna is optically transparent antennas integrated directly on top of commercial solar cells. The second solution is slot antennas that can be placed around s...

Dual-band antenna elements that support dual-polarization provide ideal performance for applications including space-based platforms, multifunction radar, wireless communications, and personal electronic devices. In many communications and radar applications, a dual-band, dual-polarization antenna array becomes a requirement in order to produce an electronically steerable, directional beam capa...

Abstract—A functional microstrip circuit module for annular slot antenna is proposed. This module consists of an annular microstrip line component, two PIN diodes and a DC bias circuit. Reconfigurable circular polarizations can be simply controlled by this functional module. Axial ratio is adjustable by changing the clip angle of the notch made by the annular microstrip line component. Simulate...

In this paper, a frequency reconfigurable circular antenna design and development is proposed for wireless devices. In the proposed design, a circular patch antenna with circular slot using two PIN diodes at the centre frequency 10 GHz was designed and simulated frequency reconfiguration is achieved in the frequency range of 9.69-10.2 GHz and the measured results shows the same effect in the fr...

In this paper we propose a circularly polarized (CP) microstrip antenna on a suspended substrate with a coplanar capacitive feed and a slot within the rectangular patch. The antenna has an axial ratio bandwidth (< 3 dB) of 7.1%. The proposed antenna exhibits a much higher impedance bandwidth of about 49% (S11 < −10 dB) and also yields return loss better than −15 dB in the useful range of circul...

A single-feed low-profile and easy to fabricate circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna has been developed for GPS applications. For dual frequency operation, four slots are etched near edges of the patch and a crossed slot etched in the center for generating circular polarization. In order to reducing the frequency ratio of two frequency bands of the antenna, the patch is loaded by four ...

A compact rectangular slot antenna with single wide band-notched characteristics is proposed. This co-planar waveguide (CPW) fed antenna is suitable for ultra wide band (UWB), X-, Kuand K-band applications. The patch of the antenna is a modified rectangular slot with T-stub structure in an elliptical slot etched in the radiating patch. This T-stub structure creates wide band notched at WLAN and...

AbstractIn this paper a design approach of circular microstrip patch antenna for dual frequency operation is described. The antenna dimensions are computed from the cavity model at fundamental frequency 2.1 GHz for TM110 mode. For better performance of the antenna, coaxial probe feed technique is used for excitation. Two parallel slots and another orthogonal slot are introduced to a conventiona...

A small size elliptically tapered slot antenna (ETSA) fed by coplanar waveguide (CPW) for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is proposed. It is printed on an FR4 substrate and occupies a size of 37×34×0.8 mm. A pair of quarter circular shapes is etched on the radiator to reduce the size. To overcome the limitation of uniform corrugation, non-uniform corrugation is utilized to reduce the cross-po...
