Broadband microstrip antenna is more commonly realized by cutting slot inside the patch. While designing slot cut antennas at a given frequency, slot length is taken to be either quarter wave or half wave in length. However this simpler approximation does not give closer result. In this paper, an analysis to study the effect of slot like, half U-slot and rectangular slot on the broadband respon...

A small size ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna having dimensions of 12x 19 mm 2 incorporated with dual bandrejected properties and good gain is recommended in this paper. The recommended antenna consists of a microstrip line fed rectangular-shaped patch with a circular slot on one side of FR4 substrate and rectangular DGS (Defected Ground Structure) on the other side. By etching a circle on the patc...

Acknowledgement I would especially like to express my most sincere thanks to my advisor, Professor Masayoshi Aikawa, for his invaluable guidance, advice, encouragement and support throughout the completion of my study and this thesis.

In this paper, a circular slot antenna fed by an offset microstrip-fed line is proposed. The antenna exhibits dual-band characteristics. The two operating frequency bands are: 1.83–2.73 GHz and 5.36–7.63GHz, which are of impedance bandwidth 39.5% and 34.9% respectively. The bands are suitable for PCS, UMTS, IMT2000, ISM, Bluetooth, RFID and WLAN applications. A parametric study has been carried...

A novel modified printed monopole antenna with variable frequency band-notch characteristic for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a truncated ground plane and a radiating patch with two tapered steps. To generate a notch band at 5–6GHz with good level of band-notch a new T-shaped parasitic element placed on the back layer of the substrate along wit...

Johnna Powell and Anantha Chandrakasan Massachusetts Institute of Technology 50 Vassar St. Rm 38-107, Cambridge, MA 02139 johnna, [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper introduces two antenna designs for Ultra Wideband 3.1-10.6 GHz communication. The primary antenna design is an equiangular spiral slot patch antenna with an outer radius of 2.25 cm. The incorporation of a ground plane enables c...

in this article, the linear array (with 20 elements in the horizontal orientation) of microstrip antenna is examined with horizontal polarization. the set includes three microstrip substrates. there is a power network in two lower substrates and microstrip patches in the upper substrate. excitation of patches has been done as coupled through the power network in two lower substrates. using the ...
