Abstract This article presents a 2×1 CPW ultra wideband rectangular slot antenna array (UWB-RSAA) with modified circular slot shape to support high data rate for wireless communications applications. The proposed antenna array dimensions are 0.7λo×0.8λo×0.064λo at the resonant frequency 1.8 GHz and it is fabricated on a commercially available rogers RO4003 substrate (with εr = 3.5), which is fed by using coplanar waveguide (CPW). A graphene layer is added on the other side of the substrate to achieve frequency reconfigurable and improve the antenna array gain. The -10 dB impedance bandwidth of the RSAA extends from 1.7 GHz to 2.6 GHz, from 3.2 to 3.8 GHz and from 5.2 GHz to 7 GHz with peak gain of 7.5 dBi at 6.5 GHz at 0 Volt bias over the operating band with average gain of 4.5 dBi. When the graphene bias is increased to 20 Volt, the antenna bandwidth extend from 1 GHz to 4 GHz and from 5 to 7 GHz with array peak gain 14 dBi at 3.5 GHz and average gain 7.5 dBi. The proposed array achieved linear polarized behaviour over the operating bands to be suitable for short range UWB wireless communications and object detection. All simulation carried out using 3D high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) Ansys ver. 15.

The shape of the tuning stub of the wide slot printed antenna is an important factor which affects the antenna’s performances. In this paper, a new design and optimization method of wideband printed slot antenna using a shape blending algorithm is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a wide rectangular slot and a tuning stub, whose profile is formed by the shape blending outcome from a pie and a diamond shape. The method is used to design an ultra-wideband antenna. The impact on the impedance bandwidth through the antenna geometry change with the different shape blending results has been investigated and analyzed. To verify the proposed design, the antenna prototype was designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured results are compared with the simulation and show good agreement.

In this paper, the design, simulation, and fabrication of a novel printed rectangular slot antenna with a band-notched function suitable for 2.4 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) and ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is presented and investigated. Two pairs of slits are introduced into the ground plane to realize band-notched function, by tuning the position, length, and width of which a suitable rejected frequency band can be obtained. To improve the impedance matching, a rectangular cut is also made in the ground plane so that the antenna can cover 2–12 GHz frequency range. According to the measured results, the proposed antenna has a large bandwidth totally satisfying the requirement of 2.4 GHz WLAN and UWB systems, while providing the required band-notch function from 5.1 to 5.9 GHz. The study of transfer function and time-domain characteristics also indicates the band-notched function of the antenna. The radiation patterns display nearly omni-directional performance and the antenna gain is stable except in the rejected frequency band (5.1–5.9 GHz). Moreover, group delays are within 1.5 ns except for the notch band. These features make it a promising candidate for UWB wireless applications. Details of this antenna are described, and the experimental results of the constructed prototype are given.

In this article, an ultra-wideband FSS reflector has been proposed to enhance the gain of a CPW antenna for UWB applications. A CPW fed antenna having dimensions of 38mm×38mm×1.605mm and FSS unit cell having dimensions 14mm × 14mm × 1.605 mm are presented in the paper. A rectangular slot and stubs are interleaved at the outer edges of the patch for achieving desired characteristics of an ultra-wideband for the frequency range of 3.39 GHz to 12.9 GHz. Simulation results carried out using the CST microwave 2016 version in the time domain are presented for the proposed antenna. An FSS unit cell designed and simulated using periodic boundary conditions and floquet ports is presented. The combined setup of an array of FSS reflector behind the antenna has been simulated in the time domain. This set up shows an improved performance in terms of antenna’s gain. A maximum and minimum gain of 8.14 dB and 4.98 dB has been observed with the presence of FSS reflector behind the coplanar waveguide antenna. A significant improvement of 2.9 dB has been observed over the entire band of antenna’s operation

A coplanar waveguide fed dual-band circularly polarized rectangular slot antenna is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular metal frame acting as a ground and an S-shaped monopole as a radiator. The spatial distribution of the surface current density is employed to demonstrate that the circular polarization is generated by the S-shaped monopole which controls the path of the surface currents. An antenna prototype, having overall dimension 37 × 37 × 1 mm3, has been fabricated on FR4 substrate with dielectric constant 4.4. The proposed antenna achieves 10 dB return loss bandwidths and 3 dB axial ratio (AR) in the frequency bands 2.39–2.81 GHz and 5.42–5.92 GHz, respectively. Both these characteristics are suitable for WLAN and WiMAX applications.

An ultra-wideband (UWB) slot antenna for diversity applications is introduced. The overall structure of the antenna consists of two similar coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed stepped rectangular slots placed in an orthogonal position. The slots are asymmetric with respect to their placement in the ground plane. The CPW feeds are double stepped and terminated on hexagonal patches for better impedance matching. A wide impedance bandwidth (measured) from 3 to 12 GHz with an isolation better than 15 dB is obtained with this antenna. To improve the isolation, the design is modified and an I-shaped slot strip is introduced between the two slot antennas. With this, the isolation is brought about 25 dB of most of the band, while the impedance bandwidth remains the same (2.8–12 GHz for port 1, measured and 2.9–12 GHz for port 2, measured). The far-field radiation patterns are also measured and a peak gain of about 5 dBi is obtained. Finally, the diversity parameters such as envelope correlation coefficient and capacity loss are calculated and found to have low values. The antenna is expected to be useful for UWB diversity applications with good isolation.
