RCS is very significant to confirm data for target designation. The targets signature is different, because every target has own signature, and this specific signature is utilized to recognize the type of structure which will be tested. The monostatic radar utilizes one antenna on the body for reducing the scattering of signals for given polarization and receive and transmit in this type in the same location. Microstrip patch antenna is widely used in microwave systems, especially for space applications. In this paper, rectangular microstrip antenna in c-band frequency is designed and simulated as a target to calculate monostatic RCS area using CST software 2019. The strip antenna is simulated and modeled for different target angles (0, 45, 60and 90) degree. The monostatic radar cross section is simulated at 8GHz with incident angles from 0-180 degree. The best RCS of rectangular patch antenna is about -31m2 at the incident angle θ=60o.

In this paper, a low cross-polarization improved-gain rectangular patch antenna is presented. A patch-ground shorting pin with defected patch structure (DPS) is introduced to suppress the cross-polarization level. A High Reflective Frequency Selective Surface (HRFSS) superstrate is designed and placed over the proposed antenna at an optimized position to intensify the gain. To characterize the unit-cell of the superstrate, its transmission characteristics are extracted and discussed. Integration of the superstrate achieves a beam contraction resulting in a gain enhancement to 10.65 dBi. The proposed antenna has perfect broadside radiation with a cross-polarization level of below −30 dB in the entire half power beamwidth. The prototype of the antenna exhibits good agreement between experimental and simulated results.

This paper proposes a novel wideband to concurrent tri-band frequency reconfigurable microstrip antenna. The frequency reconfiguration is achieved by using a pair of PIN diodes in the antenna feed line to switch the antenna either in wideband mode or in concurrent tri-band mode. In order to improve the bandwidth and gain of the antenna for wideband operation, the properties of J-K inverter and split ring resonators are exploited. To demonstrate the versatility of this concept a prototype is fabricated and tested here. The tested results in wideband mode shows that the proposed antenna operates from 3.58 to –3.82 GHz, which is 4.08 times larger than the bandwidth of a simple microstrip patch antenna. In the concurrent tri-band mode frequency tuning is done by microstrip open stub at 1.5 GHz, 1.9 GHz, and 3.5 GHz. Gain of the proposed antenna is better than 2.7 dB in wideband mode and 2.7 dB in concurrent tri-band mode.

An analytical model for a frequency reconfigurable rectangular-ring microstrip antenna is proposed. The resonant frequencies and input impedance of the reconfigurable antenna are analyzed using a lossy-transmission-line (LTL) model. By making use of Y-admittance matrices, a formulation for the input impedance is analytically derived. The structure of the frequency reconfigurable antenna consists of a rectangular-ring shaped microstrip antenna which is loaded with a rectangular patch in the middle of the rectangular-ring antenna and fed by a microstrip line. RF switches are applied to connect the load to the antenna in order to reconfigure the operating frequencies. By modeling the antenna into a multiport equivalent circuit, the total input impedance is analytically derived to predict the resonant frequencies. To verify the analysis, the model input impedance and reflection coefficient calculation have been compared with the full-wave simulation and measurement results. The proposed model shows good agreement with full-wave simulated and measured results in the range of 1–3 GHz.

A coplanar waveguide- (CPW-) fed compact wideband defected structure shaped microstrip antenna is proposed for wireless applications. Defected structure is produced by cutting theUshape antenna in the form of two-sided T shape. The proposed antenna consists of two-sidedTshape strip as compared to usual monopole patch antenna for minimizing the height of the antenna. The large space around the radiator is fully utilized as the ground is on the same plane as of radiator. Microstrip line feed is used to excite the proposed antenna placed on an FR4 substrate (dielectric constantεr=4.4). The antenna is practically fabricated and simulated. Simulated results of the proposed antenna have been obtained by using Ansoft High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software. These results are compared with measured results by using network analyzer. Measured result shows good agreement with the simulated results. It is observed that the proposed antenna shows a wideband from 2.96 GHz to 7.95 GHz with three bands atf1=3.23 GHz,f2=4.93 GHz, andf3=7.04 GHz.

In this work, we present a rigorous full-wave eigenanalysis for the study of nanoantennas operating at both terahertz (THz) (0.1–10 THz), and infrared/optical (10–750 THz) frequency spectrums. The key idea behind this effort is to reveal the physical characteristics of nanoantennas such that we can transfer and apply the state-of-the-art antenna design methodologies from microwaves to terahertz and optics. Extensive attention is given to penetration depth in metals to reveal whether the surface currents are sufficient for the correct characterization of nanoantennas, or the involvement of volume currents is needed. As we show with our analysis, the penetration depth constantly reduces until the region of 200 THz; beyond this point, it shoots up, requiring volume currents for the exact characterization of the corresponding radiating structures. The cases of a terahertz rectangular patch antenna and a plasmonic nanoantenna are modeled, showing in each case the need of surface and volume currents, respectively, for the antenna’s efficient characterization.

This paper presents a design methodology for the implementation of a miniaturized square patch antenna and its circuit model for 5.15 GHz ISM band. The miniaturization is achieved by employing concentric complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) structures in between the patch and ground plane. The results are compared with the traditional square patch antenna in terms of area, bandwidth, and efficiency. The area is reduced with a ratio of 1/4 with respect to the traditional patch. The miniaturized square patch antenna has an efficiency, bandwidth, and reflection coefficient of 78%, 0.4%, and −16 dB, respectively. The measurement and circuit modeling results show a good agreement with the full-wave electromagnetic simulations.
