Multiband antenna structure for heterogeneous wireless communication systems using DGS technique
This proposed work illustrates the design of a defected ground structure (DGS)-based coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed multiband microstrip antenna consisting of four vertical monopoles, joined together by the few rectangular horizontal strips. In this multiband antenna, I-shaped defects are inserted into both sides of ground plane of CPW feed creating a DGS-CPW. The 10 dB impedance bandwidth of lower
Ultra-low noise active microstrip antenna
An active receiving antenna for Radio Navigation and Radio Positioning applications in S-band frequency is designed and fabricated. In this active antenna, the amplifier is integrated with the radiator which is a rectangular patch antenna. This patch antenna is analyzed with full-wave momentum method. With the developed design routine, ultra-low noise active receiving antenna can be realized. The
applied to the optimal design of multi-stub matching network and a meander monopole
Variable , a new concept in antenna design and optimization, is applied to two optimization problems: a multi-stub matching network (MSMN) using biogeography-based optimization (BBO), and an ultra wideband meander monopole antenna (MMA) using central force optimization (CFO). BBO is a newly-proposed stochastic global search and optimization evolutionary algorithm (EA) used to deter
Gain enhancement over a wideband in CPW-fed compact circular patch antenna
The present paper reports the gain enhancement over a wideband (12?15 GHz) in a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed circular patch antenna with circular defected ground structure (DGS). Two compact coplanar circular antennas have been designed and fabricated with and without DGS of same volume 18 × 20 × 1.6 mm, built over FR4-epoxy substrate (? = 4.4). Gain enhancement has been achieved by optimizing the
Using parasitic elements for implementing sectoral patch antenna array for wireless applications
This paper presents the design and development of an X-band microstrip gap-coupled sectoral patch array antenna for application in wireless systems. A novel concept of bandwidth enhancement is considered for gap-coupled sectoral microstrip patch array antenna, which uses one active receiving antenna and multiple parasitic elements with finite ground plane. The parasitic elements give the possibili

Millimeter-wave hetero-integrated sources in InP-on-BiCMOS technology
The paper presents millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal sources using a hetero-integrated InP-on-BiCMOS semiconductor technology. Mm-wave signal sources feature fundamental frequency voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) in BiCMOS, which drive frequency multiplier?amplifier chains in transferred-substrate (TS) InP-DHBT technology, heterogeneously integrated on top of the BiCMOS wafer in a wafer-level
A Ku-band RF-MEMS frequency-reconfigurable multimodal bandpass filter
In this paper, a uniplanar RF-MEMS second-order bandpass filter with reconfigurable center frequency is presented. It is based on quarter-wavelength slotline resonators and coplanar waveguide (CPW)-to-slotline multimodal immitance inverters (MIIs), which are reconfigured using RF-MEMS switchable CPW air-bridges (SABs). The filter can be adequately explained and designed using multimodal theory and
