In this paper is presented the good solution to enhancement gain by using physical plane plate reflector with optimum distance by a reflector was used with the antenna and using a sweep parameter for the distance at which the reflector was placed at (, we found the best distance is when selected the bandwidth is 28GHz where . The gain at the bandwidth in 28GHz was improved from (5.48, 6.78, and 7.83) dB to 11.53 dB, while the gain without a reflector is 7.1 dB. The simulation results were obtained using CST which was more consistent with the practical results.

A comb shaped microstrip antenna is designed by loading rectangular slots on the patch of the antenna. The antenna resonating at three different frequencies f1 = 5.35 GHz, f2 = 6.19 GHz and f3= 8.15 GHz. The designed antenna is simulated on High Frequency Structure Simulator software [HFSS] and the antenna is fabricated using substrate glass epoxy with dielectric constant 4.4 having dimension of 8x4x0.16 cms. The antenna shows good return loss, bandwidth and VSWR. Experimental results are observed using Vector Analyzer MS2037C/2.

Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) devices are often used to access the internet network, both for working and in information searching. Accessing the internet can be administered anywhere provided that the area is within the WiFi devices range. A WiFi device uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operating frequencies. There were several methods employed in the previous studies so that an antenna design could work in two different frequencies, i.e., winding bowtie method, Sierpinski method, and double-circular method. This paper employed a simple method, the slit method. The objective of this paper is to discover a simple antenna model that works on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. This paper employed a square patch microstrip antenna with a slit method. The dimensions of the designed square patch microstrip antenna were 42.03 mm × 27.13 mm × 0.035 mm. The antenna worked at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. The obtained simulation results after the optimization showed that the square patch microstrip antenna using the slit method acquired a value of S11 (return loss) of -10.15 dB at a frequency of 2.4 GHz and -37.315 dB at a frequency of 5 GHz.

This work builds a metamaterial (MTM) superstrate loaded on a patch of microstrip antenna for wireless communications. The MTM superstrate is made up of four G-shaped resonators on FR-4 substrate with a relative permittivity of 4.4 and has a total area of (8×16) mm2, and is higher than the patch. The MTM superstrate increases antenna gain while also raising the input reflection coefficient. When it is 9 mm above the patch, the gain increased from 3.28 dB to 6.02 dB, and when it is 7 mm above the patch, the input reflection coefficient was enhanced from -31.217 dB to -45.8 dB. When the MTM superstrate loaded antenna was compared to the traditional unloaded antenna, it was discovered that metamaterials have a lot of potential for improving antenna performance.

Antennas play a vital role in wireless communication; a thirst of excellence in this area is unending. Proposed work describes a concept of fractal multiband antenna designed in the hexagon shape. Basically fractal is the concept used in Microstrip antenna for giving better results than conventional Microstrip antenna. By using hexagonal fractal antenna we can possibly achieve the radiation pattern with high gain. The coaxial feeding is used and multiple hexagons are interconnected in array for maintaining conductivity and to preserve electrical self similarity. Hexagonal antenna is used for different wireless applications. The proposed antenna frequency band covers a large number of wireless communication applications including GPS (1.6GHz), Bluetooth (2.4 GHz) & WLAN (3.6GHz). Antenna design has been designed and simulated by using the software Ansoft’s HFSS and parameters like bandwidth return loss, directivity, VSWR are analyzed. Fabrication of the antenna is done by using wet-etching method, on FR-4 dielectric substrate material. Experimental results are taken on Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) and those obtained results were compared with simulated results. The hexagonal fractal antenna array is found to possess predictable multiband characteristics.

In this paper, a six-channel microstrip diplexer is designed and fabricated. It operates at 0.75/0.85/1/1.25/1.6/1.8 GHz for multi-service wireless communication systems. It consists of two stub-loaded resonators, which are integrated by coupled lines. The channels are close together, which makes the proposed diplexer suitable for frequency division duplex (FDD) schemes. The proposed structure has a compact size of 0.025 λg2 where λg is the guided wavelength calculated at 0.75 GHz. The other advantages of the introduced multi-channel diplexer are the low insertion losses of 1.62/1.27/0.43/0.53/1.26 and 1 dB, as well as good return losses of 26/26/25/25/21.7 and 22 dB at 0.75/0.85/1/1.25/1.6/1.8 GHz respectively. A good isolation of less than 22 dB is obtained between the channels. In order to design the presented diplexer a designing technique is used which is based on the proposing of an equivalent approximated LC model and calculating the inductors and capacitors. To confirm the simulation results, the introduced diplexer is fabricated and measured.

As wireless communication technology keeps progressing, people’s requirements for wireless communication quality are getting higher and higher. Wireless communication brings convenience, but also causes some problems. On the one hand, the traditional static and fixed spectrum allocation strategy leads to high wastefulness of spectrum resources. The direction of improving the utility of spectrum resources by combining the advantages of cooperative communication and cognitive radio has attracted the attention of many scholars. On the other hand, security of communication is becoming an important issue because of the broadcasting nature and openness of wireless communication. Physical-layer security has been brought into focus due to the possibility of improving the security in wireless communication. In this paper, we propose an anti-wiretap spectrum-sharing scheme for cooperative cognitive radio communication systems which can secure the information transmission for the two transmission phases of the cooperative communication. We maximized the secondary system transmission rate by jointly optimizing power and bandwidth while ensuring the primary system achieves its secrecy transmission rate. Useful insights of the proposed anti-wiretap spectrum-sharing scheme are given in the simulation results. Moreover, several system parameters are shown to have a big impact for the simulation results.

In this paper, a novel concept on the design of a broadband printed Yagi antenna for S-band wireless communication applications is presented. The proposed antenna exhibits a wide bandwidth (more than 48% fractional bandwidth) operating in the frequency range 2.6 GHz–4.3 GHz. This is achieved by employing an elliptically shaped coupled-directive element, which is wider compared with other elements. Compared with the conventional printed Yagi design, the tightly coupled directive element is placed very close (0.019λ to 0.0299λ) to the microstrip-fed dipole arms. The gain performance is enhanced by placing four additional elliptically shaped directive elements towards the electromagnetic field’s direction of propagation. The overall size of the proposed antenna is 60 mm × 140 mm × 1.6 mm. The proposed antenna is fabricated and its characteristics, such as reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, and gain, are compared with simulation results. Excellent agreement between measured and simulation results is observed.
