Microstrip antenna miniaturization with fractal EBG and SRR loads for linear and circular polarizations
In this paper, combination of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) and split-ring resonator (SRR) loads with fractal formation for miniaturization of microstrip antenna is noticed. Here two different shapes of antenna have been studied with two well-known metamaterial structures as parasitic elements. A conventional microstrip antenna, which is surrounded by four EBG unit cells, is chosen as the first a
Segmented quarter cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna: simulation and experimental investigation in composite form for wideband applications
A probe feed wideband multi-element dual segments quarter cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (q-CDRA) in composite forms have been proposed. The q-CDRA has been introduced by splitting CDRA into four uniform quarters and multi-segmentation approach has been castoff for further improvement in bandwidth of q-CDRA. The dual segments q-CDRA has been designed and analyzed using theoretical analys
Novel SRR-loaded CPW-fed UWB antenna with wide band-notched characteristics
This paper presents the design of a split-ring resonators (SRR) loaded coplanar waveguide-fed ultra-wide band (UWB) antenna. As using the electromagnetic coupling SRR connected by open-ended microstrip lines, this UWB antenna achieves wide band-notched characteristics. The frequency of the proposed antenna operates from 2.37 to 10.93 GHz with a broad notch band covers from 4.96 to 6.15 GHz (IEEE 8
Compact modified ?T? slot circular patch quad band antenna for MIMO applications
Compact modified T-slot circular patch antenna for multiple input multiple output MIMO) applications, which has good response for four operating frequency bands is developed. Here the design consists of a circular patch with a new slot loaded T- shape on one side of the substrate and a feeder line on the other side of the substrate. A shorting pin is located between the patch and the feeder line.
Fork-shaped planar antenna for Bluetooth, WLAN, and WiMAX applications
A microstrip transmission line fed fork-shaped planar antenna is proposed for Bluetooth, WLAN, and WiMAX applications. The antenna made of a microstrip feed line, fork-shape patch on one side and defected ground plane on the other side of dielectric substrate. A fork-shape is formed by two side circular arms and a rectangular central arm. The inverted T-shaped ground plane with a rectangular slot
CPW-fed slotted CANTOR Set fractal antenna for WiMAX and WLAN applications
This paper presents the behavior of three iterations of a coplanar waveguide fed CANTOR Set fractal antenna. This kind of antennas allows having a broadband behavior and important gains. Also, the setup of slots allows having more lower resonant frequencies and therefore designing miniaturized antennas with good performances. The proposed antennas are suitable for 2.5/3.3/5/5.5 GHz worldwide inter
Reconfigurable circularly polarized capacitive coupled microstrip antenna
The design and measurement of reconfigurable circularly polarized capacitive fed microstrip antenna are presented. Small isosceles right angle triangular sections are removed from diagonally opposite corners for the generation of circular polarization (CP) of axial ratio bandwidth of 11.1%. Horizontal slits of different lengths are inserted at the edges of the truncated patch to provide the dual-b
New Ku-band reflectarray antenna by using anisotropic superstrate on an artificial magnetic conductor
A new Ku-band reflectarray with an artificial anisotropic slab that consists of periodic holes, backed by a planar artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is proposed. The unit-cell of the reflectarray is a two-layered structure that consists of a dielectric with a hole on a grounded patch. The phase diagram of the proposed unit-cell is calculated by a full-wave computational technique, which uses the
