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.

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.

This research proposes a dual-frequency circularly polarized truncated square aperture patch antenna with slant stripline and L-shaped slot for WLAN applications. In the antenna design, the parameters were optimized and the WLAN-enabled dual-frequency (2.4 and 5.8 GHz) antenna was realized. Simulations were subsequently carried out for the impedance bandwidth (S11) < −10 dB, axial ratio (AR) ≤ 3 dB, optimal gain, and bidirectional radiation pattern. To validate, an antenna prototype was fabricated and the experiments were undertaken. The simulated and experimental results are in good agreement. In essence, the proposed WLAN-enabled dual-frequency circularly polarized antenna is most suited for applications in the vertically and horizontally elongated areas, including in the tunnel, train carriage, and buildings.

Blending Process

In this paper, an automatic antenna design method based on the shape blending algorithm is proposed. The algorithm is used to construct the shape of the wide slot of a CPW-fed antenna. Firstly, two basic shapes are chosen as the initial shape and the target shape. The shape blending process is then applied on them to get a series of shapes, which are used as the geometry structure of the wide slot. In this way, a series of CPW-fed wide slot antennas are obtained. And they have similar but gradually changing characteristics. The bandwidth ranges are 8.00–9.24 GHz, 7.95–9.05 GHz, 7.05–8.55 GHz, 6.95–8.13 GHz, and 6.55–7.50 GHz, respectively. The overall size of the antenna is 26 mm  ∗  20 mm  ∗  0.6 mm. Experimental results show that the resonant frequencies vary (via translation) with the change of slot shape in a specific frequency band. The experiments also validate that the antennas have omnidirectional radiation characteristics. The radiation gains and aperture efficiencies of the antennas are about 3.8–5.5 dBi and 57.7–83.0% at their centre frequencies, respectively. The experiment results show that the proposed antennas could be used in C-band and X-band radar applications.

Two reconfigurable UWB antennas with band rejection characteristics are presented in this paper. By applying concept of parasitic element and etching slot in these two proposed antenna design WiMAX and WLAN band rejection are obtained, respectively to avoid potential electromagnetic interference (EMI). The proposed antennas are printed on 30mm x 40 mm Rogers5880 substrate. Furthermore, ideal switches are employed to achieve switchable band rejection UWB antenna.In this paper, two designs of reconfigurable UWB antenna with band rejection were proposed; namely a reconfigurable UWB antenna with WiMAX band rejection (Antenna 1), reconfigurable UWB antenna with WLAN band rejection (Antenna 2). The proposed antennas were successfully simulated, fabricated and measured. The Antenna 1 have impedance bandwidth from 2.99 GHz to 10.58 GHz with band rejection at 3.52GHz by utilizing C-shaped parasitic stripline. Meanwhile, Antenna 2 achieved an operating bandwidth from 2.99 – 10.82GHz with VSWR less than 2 except for the WLAN band operating at 4.92 – 5.84 GHz.The measured results for both antennas show good agreement with simulated ones.

AbstractIn this paper, a balanced-to-balanced (BTB) branch-slotline directional coupler (DC) is firstly presented, which can realize an arbitrary power division ratios (PDRs). The coupler is composed by microstrip-to-slotline (MS) transition structures and branch-slotline coupled structures. The single-ended to balanced-ended conversion is simplified and easy to implemented by the MS transition structures, which intrinsically leads to the differential-mode (DM) transmission and common-mode (CM) suppression. Moreover, the different PDRs which are controlled by the widths of branch-slotlines can be achieved. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed design method, two prototype circuits of the proposed coupler with different PDRs are fabricated and measured. The return loss and the isolation of two designs are all better than 10 dB. Moreover, the CM suppressions are greater than 35 dB. A good agreement between the simulation and measurement results is observed.

Microstrip Feed

In this paper, a wideband antenna was designed for super-wideband (SWB) applications. The proposed antenna was fed with a rectangular tapered microstrip feed line, which operated over a SWB frequency range (1.42 GHz to 50 GHz). The antenna was implemented at a compact size with electrical dimensions of 0.16 λ × 0.27 λ × 0.0047 λ mm3, where λ was with respect to the lowest resonance frequency. The proposed antenna prototype was fabricated on a F4B substrate, which had a permittivity of 2.65 and 1 mm thickness. The SWB antenna exhibited an impedance bandwidth of 189% and a bandwidth ratio of 35.2:1. Additionally, the proposed antenna design exhibited three band notch characteristics that were necessary to eradicate interference from WLAN, WiMAX, and X bands in the SWB range. One notch was achieved by etching an elliptical split ring resonator (ESRR) in the radiator and the other two notches were achieved by placing rectangular split ring resonators close to the signal line. The first notch was tuned by incorporating a varactor diode into the ESRR. The prototype was experimentally validated with, with notch and without notch characteristics for SWB applications. The experimental results showed good agreement with simulated results.

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.

<p class="Abstract">A rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) has been excited by an off-set single conformal metal strip. By using such excitation technique two degenerate resonant modes, TExδ11 and TEy1δ1 of the rectangular DRA have been excited to achieve circular polarization (CP). A CP bandwidth of ~ 5.2% in conjunction with a wide impedance matching bandwidth of ~ 54% has been provided by the proposed DRA configuration. The antenna design has been simulated using computer simulation technology (CST). Antenna prototype has been built to verify the impedance matching bandwidth. Far field parameters have been optimized and verified using two simulation techniques in CST i.e. finite integration technique (FIT) and finite element method (FEM). A good agreement between the simulated and measured result has been observed for S11. Similarly a very good resemblance between the far field results from FIT and FEM have been demonstrated.</p>
