This paper presents a multiple-resonance technique that sought to achieve a wide bandwidth for printed wide-slot antennas with fork-shaped stubs. By properly appending an extra fork-shaped stub onto the main fork-shaped stub, the impedance bandwidth was able to be clearly broadened. To validate this technique, two designs where the extra stubs were added at different positions of the main stub were constructed. The measured impedance bandwidths of the proposed antennas reached 148.6% (0.9–6.1 GHz) for S11 < −10 dB, indicating a 17.9% wider bandwidth than that of the normal antenna (0.9–4.3 GHz). Moreover, a stable radiation pattern was observed within the operating frequency range. The proposed antennas were confirmed to be much-improved candidates for applications in various wireless communication systems.

Fabry Perot

A novel millimeter wave coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed Fabry-Perot (F-P) antenna with high gain, broad bandwidth, and low profile is reported. The partially reflective surface (PRS) and the ground form the F-P resonator cavity, which is filled with the same dielectric substrate. A dual rhombic slot loop on the ground acts as the primary feeding antenna, which is fed by the CPW and has broad bandwidth. In order to improve the antenna gain, metal vias are inserted surrounding the F-P cavity. A CPW-to-microstrip transition is designed to measure the performances of the antenna and extend the applications. The measured impedance bandwidth ofS11less than −10 dB is from 34 to 37.7 GHz (10.5%), and the gain is 15.4 dBi at the center frequency of 35 GHz with a 3 dB gain bandwidth of 7.1%. This performance of the antenna shows a tradeoff among gain, bandwidth, and profile.

Purpose This paper aims to presents the bandwidth enhancement of a hybrid slot–loop antenna using a modified feed structure. Design/methodology/approach The conventional monopole feed of the hybrid slot–loop radiator is loaded with a flat microstrip patch to excite higher-order modes. The proposed antenna combines the resonant modes of the slot antenna, the loop antenna and the patch loading. Findings The antenna exhibits a dual-band response suitable for GSM 1800/1900 and ultrawideband (UWB) standards. The impedance bandwidth extends from 1.65 to 1.95 GHz (11.42 per cent) and 3 to 11.1 GHz (114.9 per cent). The proposed antenna has the smallest footprint with a peak gain of 5.07 dBi at 1.8 GHz and 4.97 dBi at 6 GHz. The prototype antenna is fabricated and the simulation results are validated using experimental measurements. The performance of the bandwidth-enhanced hybrid slot–loop antenna is compared with that of other slot antennas. Originality/value Thus, a hybrid slot–loop antenna with an enhanced bandwidth has been reported in this study. The conventional monopole feed of the antenna is replaced with a monopole ending with a microstrip patch load. The antenna covers the operating bands of GSM 1800/1900 and UWB. The proposed antenna has a smaller footprint compared with other wide-slot antennas reported in the literature.

When designing printed wide-slot antennas, the shape or profile of the tuning stub is a key geometric structure that affects the impedance bandwidth of the antenna. This article introduces a new process for designing tuning stub shapes, which are the blended results of a diamond and a circle. By using different geometry shapes, the design could generate a series of bandwidths with a regular trend. Detailed investigations and analysis were conducted on some key geometry parameters to explore their impact on the impedance bandwidth of the antenna. To certify the new design method, several prototypes were simulated, developed, and measured. The experimental and simulated results showed good agreement with each other. The results indicate that by properly selecting various blended shapes, a BW range from 80.1 to 117.3% for a VSWR of less than 2 could be obtained, which provides a convenient model for a wideband antenna design.

AbstractA flexible broadband antenna with high radiation efficiency for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications is presented. The design is based on a U-shaped and a triangular-shaped radiator with two tuning stubs. A 50 Ω coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line is employed to feed the antenna. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a flexible substrate from a composite synthesized by mixing natural rubber with SiO2 as a filler. The radiating elements, along with the CPW, are built using a highly conductive woven fabric. Results show that the antenna has a simulated and measured impedance bandwidth of 0.856–2.513 GHz and covers the most commonly used wireless communication standards and technologies for IoT applications. The radiation efficiency of the antenna reaches over 75% throughout the operating frequency band with satisfactory radiation patterns and gain. The flexible antenna was also tested under bending conditions. The presented results demonstrate that bending has a minor effect on the antenna performance within the target frequency range. The measured results show a good agreement with simulations.
