Abstract A compact circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna is presented for modern communication systems. The prospective antenna consists of a microstrip-line inset-fed rectangular patch and a defected ground plane. A rotated rectangular slot and a modified electric-inductive-capacitive (m-ELC) resonator are introduced in the patch and the ground plane to achieve multiband behaviour. A corner of the radiating patch is truncated and an arrow-shaped stub is introduced for generating circular polarization. The physical area of the substrate is 0.26λ0 × 0.22λ0, and the radiator size is 0.16λ0 × 0.14λ0, where λ0 is the free-space wavelength estimated at the lowest frequency. The measured (S11≤-10 dB) bandwidths of the antenna are 80 MHz (3.58%) at 2.23 GHz, 75 MHz (2.64%) at 2.84 GHz, 80 MHz (2.50%) at 3.19 GHz, and 70 MHz (1.82%) at 3.83 GHz. The measured 3-dB axial ratio bandwidths are 40 MHz (1.41%), 100 MHz (3.12%), and 60 MHz (1.57%) at 2.84, 3.20 and 3.82 GHz, respectively. The proposed planar antenna design does not need dual-feed or multi-layered patches for achieving multiple CP bands. It offers easy integration with the printed circuits of the communication systems.

Producing a suitable impedance matching between the radiating element and the feedline is the prior hurdle to overcome for a wideband antenna with circular polarisation designs. This study presents a novel antenna consisting of a defected ground structure (DGS) and a crescent-slot radiating patch for broad impedance bandwidth. In addition, a narrow rectangular slot was etched on the ground plane for antenna compactness and outcomes improvement. In order to examine the reliability, two different numerical softwares were compared based on the antenna’s basic structure. Apart from this, an equivalent circuit of the proposed prototype is modelled logically using ADS 2016. The numerical results demonstrate that the impedance bandwidth was about 74.6% for < −10 dB, while the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth greater than 53% was achieved. In the operational bandwidth of the design, good impedance matching and high efficiency were seen, which shows that this design is appropriate for modern wireless communication systems in ISM and GSM bands.

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 in the center arm is used to increase the bandwidth with better impedance matching of the lower band. The antenna is practically fabricated to validate the design. The antenna resonate dual band to cover an entire the WLAN and WiMAX bands. The antenna shows the measured bandwidth of 410 MHz (2.26–2.67) and 3.78 GHz (3.0–6.78 GHz) at lower and upper bands, respectively.

This paper presents a design of a triangular slot-loaded planar rectangular antenna array for wideband millimeter-wave (mm-wave) 5G communication systems. The proposed array realizes an overall size of 35.5 × 14.85 mm2. To excite the array elements, a four-way broadband corporate feeding network was designed and analyzed. The proposed array offered a measured impedance bandwidth in two different frequency ranges, i.e., from 23 to 24.6 GHz and from 26 to 45 GHz. The single-antenna element of the array consists of a rectangular patch radiator with a triangular slot. The partial ground plane was used at the bottom side of the substrate to obtain a wide impedance bandwidth. The peak gain in the proposed array is ≈12 dBi with a radiation efficiency of >90%. Furthermore, the array gives a half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of as low as 12.5°. The proposed array has been fabricated and measured, and it has been observed that the measured results are in agreement with the simulated data.

Abstract A novel design of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed antenna array with circular polarization (CP) and a high front-to-back ratio is described. The proposed CP array is achieved by using a compact CPW–slotline transition network etched in the ground plane. The measured results show that this kind of feeding method can improve the impedance bandwidth, as well as the axial ratio bandwidth of the CP antenna array and provide adequate gain. The proposed array can achieve a 6.08% impedance bandwidth and a 4.10% CP bandwidth. Details of the antenna design and experimental results are presented and discussed.

In this paper, a linear and circular polarized antenna with operating frequency at 2.4 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application is proposed. Firstly, a basic linear polarization antenna (Design A) was designed with rectangular slot at the rectangular patch and air gap between substrate and copper layer with distance of 10 mm. Next, in order to perform circular polarized, the antenna designed is added with optimized dual circular notch at the rectangular slot. This circular polarized antenna is designed with two different polarization types which are right-handed circular polarization (RHCP) with optimized dual circular notch at the patch (Design B) and left-handed circular polarization (LHCP) with optimized dual circular notch at the patch (Design C). The proposed antenna had been designed and simulated by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio Suite. The comparison result of simulation and measurement show that the proposed antenna can achieve axial ratio above 3 dB for linear polarized and below 3 dB for circular polarized with return loss less than -10 dB.

AbstractA compact ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with reconfigurable band-notch characteristics is demonstrated in this paper. It is comprised of a modified rectangular patch and a defected ground plane. The band-notch property in the WiMAX and WLAN bands is achieved by etching an open-ended slot on the radiating patch and an inverted U-shaped slot on the ground plane, respectively. To obtain the reconfigurable band-notch performance, two PIN diodes are inserted in the slots, and then the notch-band can be switched by changing the states of the PIN diodes. The antenna has a compact size of 0.47 λ1 × 0.27 λ1. The simulated and measured results indicate that the antenna can operate at a UWB mode, two single band-notch modes, and a dual band-notch mode. Moreover, stable radiation patterns are obtained.


A wideband coplanar waveguide (CPW) antenna with circular polarization characteristics using modified ground slot is studied in this work. Proposed design incorporates a hexagonal slot instead of rectangular slot, accounting for enhanced impedance matching. This ground slot is energized by a 50Ω feed line, resulting in excitation of two orthogonal phase quadrature modes (even-odd modes). Thus, fulfilling the essential criteria required for realizing circular polarization. A narrow horizontal slit (lg) is embedded in the ground plane at immediate left of feed line, accounting for wideband characteristics. 10dB impedance bandwidth of proposed antenna extends from 2.65- 5.60 GHz, while 3dB axial ratio bandwidth extends from 3.90- 5.80 GHz. Hence, overlapping bandwidth of proposed antenna extends from 3.90 - 5.60 GHz. RHCP characteristics with monopole radiation pattern makes proposed antenna useful for WLAN, radio navigation and radiolocation applications.
