In this study, a dual-wideband monopole antenna has been designed and developed for the universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), wireless local area network (WLAN), and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications. A novel approach integrating artificial bee colony (ABC) with the HyperLynx® 3D electromagnetic platform based on the method of moments has been employ

An ultra-wideband (UWB) highly compact bandpass filter with extremely high passband bandwidth is presented. The proposed structure is made using three-staged stepped-impedance lines and a composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) synthesized with meander fractal like ring slot in the ground and series capacitive gap in conductor strip. The capacitive gap in conductor strip and meande

In order to counter active jamming, an adaptive polarization cancellation method based on dual-polarization radar is proposed in the paper. First, respectively being obtained by vertical and horizontal polarization channels of dual-polarization radar, the signals from the real target and active jamming are analyzed in composition and characteristic. Then, the weight coefficient is timely derived i

A compact size hybrid fractal antenna is proposed for the application in wideband frequency range. The proposed antenna structure is the combination of Koch curve and self-affine fractal geometries. The Koch curve and self-affine geometries are optimized to achieve a wide bandwidth. The feed circuit is a microstrip line with a matching section over a rectangular ground plane. The measured impedanc

Synthesis of differential-mode bandpass filter (BPF) with good common-mode suppression has been described and demonstrated on the basis of ring dielectric resonator (RDR) for high-performance communication system. A RDR with two pairs of feeding lines has been used to excite TE-mode. This unique combination of feeding lines and the ring resonator creates a differential passband. Meanwhile, TM-mode

Electromagnetic characteristics of the E-plane T-junction for two rectangular waveguides using resonant coupling between the waveguide sections were studied by mathematical modeling. The problem of coupling between infinite and semi-infinite rectangular waveguides through a resonant slot in the end-wall of the semi-infinite waveguide in the presence of resonant monopole is solved in a strict elect

In this paper, a miniaturized CPW-fed tapered slot antenna (TSA) with a modified CPW to slot-line transition structure was introduced. An air-bridge and tapered slot edge (TSE) structure was also employed to broaden the transition bandwidth. Through these applied modifications, negative features of the original TSA (limitation of transition) and antipodal Vivaldi antenna (bad cross-polarization) a

In this work, microstrip antenna with W- and V-shaped radiating patches have been proposed. Here square- and circular-shaped modified ground planes have been designed by poly tetra fluoro ethylene (PTFE) substrate with dielectric constant 2.4. Broadband with high gain is obtained by optimum selection of radiating patch with modified ground plane. The ground planes are modified by loading a U-shape

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have acquired enormous importance in computing of the performance parameters of microstrip antennas due to their generalized and adaptive features. However, recently the concept of support vector machines (SVMs) has become very much popular in performance parameters computation due to several attractive features over ANNs. Specifically, SVMs outreach ANNs noticeab

This paper presents a miniature monopole reader antenna for tri-band radio frequency identification (RFID) portable devices. The proposed antenna operates at the main RFID frequencies and can alleviate and compensate for the shortcomings of a single-band antenna. An additional rectangular stub couples with the bent monopole antenna, allowing the latter to resonate at the RFID bands at 902?928 MHz,
