in this paper, a novel directional super wide band micro strip antenna based on a simple and new geometry has been proposed. the antenna exhibits the widest bandwidth ever reported to the authors’ knowledge from 50 ghz to 200 ghz. its radiation pattern is approximately steady in the frequency ranges of 50 ghz to 200 ghz. the antenna consists of a club-like radiating patch, a combination of thre...

Recently, many works have considered a physical properly of antenna in MIMO channel models, such as radiation pattern effective for MIMO system. However, effect of antenna for MIMO with different algorithms is required and also with different environments of signal behavior at each end of the link. Thus, a traditional antenna such as Omni-directional antenna generally is used to design MIMO sys...

A Compact planar slot antenna is proposed and developed for Ultra Wideband Applications. The antenna has compact size of 28 x 31 x 0.8 mm 3 . The antenna is fabricated with FR4 substrate and it is fed by Coplanar Wave Guide. The antenna is investigated experimentally to obtain required return loss, gain and radiation pattern characteristics. The antenna operates over a band between 3.1 GHz and ...

We investigate the effect of a directional antenna in wireless sensor networks from the perspective of network lifetime extension. Previous studies on wireless sensor networks have assumed only an omni-directional antenna model, since a directional antenna has been considered inappropriate for sensors due to size and cost constraints. In this sense, we propose to mount the directional antenna o...

A compact reconfigurable antenna with an omnidirectional mode and four directional modes is proposed. The antenna has a main radiator and four parasitic elements printed on a dielectric substrate. By changing the status of diodes soldered on the parasitic elements, the proposed antenna can generate four directional radiation patterns and one omnidirectional radiation pattern. The main beam dire...

This paper presents a CPW-fed compact inverted L shaped microstrip antenna for wireless applications. The proposed antenna provides an omni directional radiation pattern and it utilizes the concept of coplanar wave guide (CPW). The main motive is to simplify the structure and to reduce the overall size of the antenna. This is done by loading the inverted L-strip over the conventional monopole p...

This paper presents the design of elliptical slot antenna for multiband applications. The suggested antenna covers L-band, WIMAX, WLAN and X band. By placing inverted T-shaped stub and three reverse U-shape stubs, the resonating characteristics of the antenna are observed. The resonating frequencies are 1.95, 4.14, 5.05, 5.89 and 9.15 GHz respectively. The designed antenna shows good return los...
