scholarly journals Design and Development of Inverted U-Slot Rectangular Ring Coupled Monopole Microstrip Antenna for Quad Band Operation

Abstract: This paper present a novel design and development of inverted U-slot rectangular ring coupled monopole microstrip antenna (IURCMMA) for quad band operation. The monopole microstrip antennas are commonly designed for wide band operation. However, by placing the optimum ring slots in the form of slits on the radiating patch, the antenna can be made to operate at different frequency bands. The proposed antenna operates in the frequency range of 1.5 to 10 GHz with a peak gain of 8.69 dB and gives omni directional radiation pattern in both E and H planes. The measured and simulated results of return loss are in good agreement with each other. With these features the proposed antenna may find many applications at microwave frequency range. Keywords: Monopole, Rectangular, Bandwidth, Quad band , Gain.

This paper presents the fabrication of an octagonal fractal hybrid micro strip radiator patch antenna that operates over a frequency range of 1.5 GHz to 2GHz suitable for low frequency wireless and mobile applications. The radiator has a dimension of 85x85mm2 on the radiating side and 100x86mm2 ground plane. The model is fabricated on Fire Redundant4 substrate with thickness of 1.6mm over a 10x10mm2 dimension and uses coaxial feeding technique. The model is tested for its performance in the range of 1.5 to 2 GHz on the radiator test bench consists of MIC10 antenna trainer kit with an allowable frequency of up to 2GHz. The radiation characteristics shown are having good return loss and average gain of 39dB with omni directional radiation pattern. The size is to be optimized as the dimensions are very large compared to the usual requirements.

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.

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.

his paper proposes design of parasitic microstrip antenna with multiple feed line for mobile communication applications at range frequency of 1800 – 2100 MHz. The purpose of adding multiple feed line is to enhanced the bandwidth of the proposed antenna. The multiple feed line used has an impedance of 100 Ohm and is placed on the edge of the patch parasitic microstrip antenna. The optimal bandwidth of the microstrip antenna is obtained by adjusting the dimensions and position of the multiple feed line. From the measurement results obtained return loss of -14.91 dB, VSWR of 1.44 at working frequency of 1800 MHz and bandwidth of 427 MHz with a frequency range 1715 MHz - 2142 MHz. . From these results it can be concluded that the banwidth of proposed antenna has met the criteria to be used in a mobile communication system.

<p>This paper presents the design of new compact printed antennas for Ultra Wide Band applications, fed with a microstrip-line. The proposed designs consist of a patch antenna with defected ground, which are fed by 50Ω microstrip transmission line. The frequency range is 3.1-10.6 GHz which is the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) band of UWB. The proposed antennas are easy for integration with microwave circuits. They are validated into simulation by using two electromagnetic solvers CST-MW and Ansoft HFSS. The simulated input impedance bandwidth ranging 3GHz to more than 14 GHz is obtained with return loss less -10dB, and exhibits good UWB characteristics. The measured parameters are good agreement with the simulation. Therefore these antennas offer excellent performance for UWB system.</p>

A square slot antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) is presented in this paper. The design consist of two pairs of “F” shaped planar strips placed within a square slotted ground. The strips are used to excite multiple resonant frequencies, the strips are connected to the ground plane by means of ideal switches. The proposed antenna has achieved multiple resonant frequencies of 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz for WLAN and 3.5/5.5 for WiMAX applications. The measured results shows a good agreement with the simulated results in terms of return loss, radiation pattern and gain. The proposed antenna is designed for the frequency range of 2 GHz to 7 GHz which makes it suitable for Bluetooth, WLAN and WiMAX applications.

Magneto-dielectric composites are interesting advanced materials principally due to their potential applications in electronic fields, such as in microstrip antennas substrates. In this work, we developed superparamagnetic polymer-based films using the biopolymeric matrices chitosan (Ch), cellulose (BC) and collagen (Col). For this proposal, we synthesized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) functionalized with polyethyleneimine with a cheap method using sonochemistry. Further, the SPIONs were dispersed into polymer matrices and the composites were evaluated regarding morphology, thermal, dielectric and magnetic properties and their application as microstrip antennas substrates. Microscopically, all tested films presented a uniform dispersion profile, principally due to polyethyleneimine coating. Under an operating frequency (fo) of 4.45 GHz, Ch, BC and Col-based SPION substrates showed moderate dielectric constant (ε′) values in the range of 5.2–8.3, 6.7–8.4 and 5.9–9.1, respectively. Furthermore, the prepared films showed no hysteresis loop, thereby providing evidence of superparamagnetism. The microstrip antennas showed considerable bandwidths (3.37–6.34%) and a return loss lower than −10 dB. Besides, the fo were modulated according to the addition of SPIONs, varying in the range of 4.69–5.55, 4.63–5.18 and 4.93–5.44 GHz, for Ch, BC and Col-based substrates, respectively. Moreover, considering best modulation of ε′ and fo, the Ch-based SPION film showed the most suitable profile as a microstrip antenna substrate.
