A frequency reconfigurable ultra-wide band antenna with dual notch bands is proposed in this paper. PIN diodes are located on ultra-wide band monopole antenna and are investigated for frequency reconfigurable characteristic of the proposed antenna. Multi-bands and narrow bands have been achieved by different combinations. Proposed antenna is fabricated on FR-4 substrate of dimensions 37 x 40 x 0.8mm3. For the successful combinations, antenna performance parameters like S11 characteristics, surface current distribution, peak gain, radiation efficiency and 2D radiation patterns are analyzed and illustrated in the paper. Peak gain of 4.83dB is obtained in operating band for D1, D2= 0, 1 combination. Radiation efficiency is not less than 70% in the entire operating bands. Results are analyzed experimentally for validating proposed antenna. Simulation based results and measured results are in good agreement.

This study is addressing the slotted ring resonator effect on the performance of the ultra-wide band (UWB) microstrip antenna. Two types of metamaterial with double slotted ring resonators (SRR), circular (C-SRR) and square (S-SRR), are studied and implemented on back of the antenna. The design examines the effect of the number of the SRR and its position with respect to the antenna’s ground plane and the rotation of the inner and outer C-SRR rings on different antenna characteristics. The dimensions of the antenna are 45 mm × 31 mm × 1.27 mm. The implementation of the SRR increased the antenna bandwidth to cover the range from 2.2 GHz to 9.8 GHz with rejected bands and frequencies. Antenna simulated characteristics like return loss, maximum gain and radiation pattern are obtained utilizing HFSS. The return loss measurement and the VSWR of the antenna with all SRR configuration studied are in good agreement with simulated results.

This article deals with the various designs of a novel compact microstrip fed UWB antenna to investigate the corresponding return losses of different structures. The dimension of the designed antenna is 33 x 19 x 1.9 mm3 with FR4 substrate and it can be operated from 2.846 - 11.7458 GHz. The effects of varying the structure of antenna are to exhibit the investigation of corresponding return losses. Different structures of antenna are simulated in Ansoft HFSS simulator. The results of return losses and radiation patterns are explored with the ultra wide band (UWB) rectangular Stair slot antenna. The modified structure of antenna shows the minimized return loss with an enhanced bandwidth that satisfies good UWB characteristics. Antenna performance can also be explored from the radiation behavior of the antenna which is relatively omni-directional pattern for rectangular Stair slot antenna

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this work, we propose ultra wide band antennas that have small size and simple shapes. The new designs have comparable or improved performance than those of the already available antennas. The thesis aims can be summarized as follows: 1) First, design and fabricate both monopole and wide slot UWB antennas that have simple and small structures and analyze for performance comparable to those of the more complex designs and/or larger size. This part of the thesis can be achieved by modifying already existing antennas, and then utilize them to achieve the second aim of this work, as discussed below. 2) Propose new generalized ways for band notch generation that are suitable for all UWB antennas. This will result in a significant reduction in the optimization parameters. Finally the optimized design will be fabricated to verify the proposed idea. 3) Design and fabricate a new planar monopole switchable antenna that can switch between Multiband/UWB mode that covers the entire indoor applications and Multiband mode that covers some of the outdoor applications for a versatile antenna performance.

Abstract The conventional tapered slot Vivaldi antenna is well known for its ultra-wide band characteristics with low directivity. To improve the directivity of the conventional Vivaldi antenna, a four-slot Vivaldi antenna (FSVA) is proposed here to operate in the frequency range of 2–11 GHz. For feeding the FSVA, a binomial three-section V-shaped even mode power divider with progressing T-junctions is also designed and tested here, which is then integrated with the antenna. The proposed antenna prototype is designed and fabricated on a 1-mm thick FR-4 substrate (ɛr=4.3, tanδ=0.025), and the return loss and radiation characteristics are investigated in the anechoic environment. The measured result shows a good agreement with the numerical simulation performed using the EM Simulator i. e. CST MWS-2015. It is found that the directivity of FSVA is approximately doubled as compared to that of the conventional Vivaldi antenna having the same dimensions. From the application point of view, the fabricated antenna is used to image various metallic objects hidden inside the sand using a vector network analyzer and associated RF components. The obtained 2D microwave images of the test media successfully show that the hidden objects can effectively be located and detected using the proposed FSVA in conjunction with a simple imaging scheme.

This paper presents a novel compact 2 × 2 planar MIMO antenna system with ultra-wide band capability. Antenna system is specifically designed to target lower 5th generation operating bands ranging from 2 GHz to 12 GHz. This band also covers the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. The antenna array geometry has been simulated using CST MWS. The design is extremely miniaturized with total structure size of 13×25×0.254 mm3. The simulated and measured results have been presented. Measured and simulated return loss values for designed antenna are less than −10 dB over the operating band and lowest values of −35 dB and −32.5 dB can been seen at 5.2 GHz and 9.2 GHz, respectively, whereas at the center frequency the return loss is −25.2 dB. The mutual coupling between both elements is less than −20 dB over the transmission bandwidth. Simulated and measured radiation patterns in E and H planes at center frequency show nearly isotropic far fields. The maximum gain is measured as 4.8 dB. Promising results of Envelope Correlation Coefficient and gain diversity of the design have been achieved. Simulated and measured results are found in good agreement. The fractional bandwidth of antenna is measured as 143.2% which satisfies its ultra-wide band response.

A reconfigurable asymmetric patch antenna with arced corners loaded with a rectangular slot and a T slot on the partial ground used for UWB and Ku band applications. The discussion is carried out into three segments. In the first segment, the design of patch antenna proposed asymmetric arcs at the corner, two side slits, and one slot in the middle of the patch while a T-slot integrated on the partial ground plane. This presented antenna covers an impedance bandwidth ranging from 3.0 GHz to 16.2GHz with a fractional amount of 132%. It is found that a wide band of 3.0 GHz to 10.7 GHz is achieved by using a T-slot on the partial ground plane with a normal rectangular patch while 10.8 GHz to 16.2 GHz is attained by using two corners arcs with two small slits on the patch. The experimental result shows good agreement of 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth and radiation characteristics with the simulated result of the proposed antenna. The second segment proposes an extracted equivalent circuit model for patch and ground plane of corner arc monopole antenna using EM software package in the ADS platform and made a good agreement with the proposed antenna. Finally in the third segment RF PIN diode is embedded in a rectangular slot of the patch which achieves desired frequency shifting in the required band of operation.
