<p>This paper presents Dual-Band proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna with slots on the radiating patch and Defected Ground Structure. Initially a simple proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna resonating at 2.4 GHz is designed. Etching out a ‘Dumbbell’ shaped defect from the ground plane and ‘T’ shaped slot from the radiating patch of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna, results in a Dual-Band operation, i.e., resonating at 2.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz; with 30.3 % and 18.8% reduction in the overall area of the patch and the ground plane of the reference antenna respectively. The proposed antenna resonates in S-band at frequency of 2.4 GHz with bandwidth of 123.6 MHz and C-band at frequency of 4.5 GHz with bandwidth of 200 MHz, and a very good return loss of -22.1818 dB and -19.0839 dB at resonant frequency of 2.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively is obtained. The proposed antenna is useful for different wireless applications in the S-band and C-band.</p>

Abstract Vehicle-to-everything communications (V2X), whose main objective is to improve security and efficiency, are provided by ad hoc vehicle networks that allow communication between vehicles. In the current study, a hexagonal microstrip patch antenna has been developed to cover the navigational frequencies, WiMAX at 3.7 GHz and DSRC/IEEE802.11p at 5.9 GHz to meet the demands of various vehicular applications. The antenna design is based on Cantor fractal slot, partial ground plane, and inset feed which is directly fed through the microstrip line. The proposed antenna shields the frequency band from 3.22 to 6.5 GHz with VSWR $\lt$ 2 within all the frequency bands. The presented antenna can resonate well in the 5.85–5.95 GHz band assigned for DSRC/IEEE802.11p and 3.7 GHz assigned for LTE/V2X. Simulated antenna gain varies from 3.06 to 5.25 dB within the operated frequency range providing an omnidirectional simulated radiation pattern in the most azimuth plane. To prove the validity of the simulation results, the chosen antenna structure has been fabricated and tested using a vector network analyzer MS2630. The measurement shows good results, which make the antenna suitable for wireless applications of interest.


This research article gives a detailed insight of the design, simulation of a compact circular shaped microstrip patch antenna that is fed using a coplanar waveguide feed (CPW for practical wireless communication applications). The antenna is typically designed for Ultra wideband (1.46-6GHz), Bluetooth (2.4GHz), ZIGBEE (2.4GHz), WLAN (5.15- 5.35 GHz and 5.725- 5.825), Wi-Fi (2.4-2.485GHz) and HIPERLAN-2(5.15 - 5.35 GHz and 5.470 -5.725GHz) wireless applications with stop band characteristics for the H (partial C band). The proposed antenna has an overall packaged structure dimensions of 78 x75 x1.605 mm3 and is fabricated on FR4 substrate as a circular patch antenna with a coplanar ground .The commercially available laminate FR4 substrate that is used has a dielectric constant of 4.4, height of 1.6mm and a loss tangent of 0.0024.The prospective antenna shows a simulated impedance bandwidth of 4.54 GHz. The coplanar waveguide feeding used with this antenna helps in improving antenna performance in terms of its impedance bandwidth as this geometry helps in creating multiple current loops at the antenna structure, thereby exciting nearby frequencies that merge to show a broadband of operation. The antenna’s operational bandwidth is also improved by the concept of modified ground, in which triangular and rectangular shapes are added symmetrically on both sides of ground plane that provide a better fringing effect and hence an improved bandwidth.

This study proposes a new parasitic resonator-based diamond-shaped microstrip patch antenna for ultra-wideband microwave imaging applications. The antenna consists of a diamond-shaped radiating patch, partial ground plane, and four-star shape parasitic elements. The use of parasitic elements improves the antenna performance in terms of the bandwidth and gain. The proposed prototype has a compact dimension of 30 × 25 × 1.6 mm3. The antenna achieves an overall bandwidth (S11<-10dB) of 7.6 GHz (2.7–10.3 GHz) with more than 4 dBi realized gain and 80% efficiency across the radiating bandwidth. The modified structures of the design extended the usable upper frequency from 9.7 GHz to 10.3 GHz, and the lower frequency is decreased from 3.4 GHz to 2.7 GHz with maintaining the omnidirectional radiation pattern. The design and simulation of the antenna are performed in the 3D electromagnetic simulator CST Microwave Studio. The proposed antenna is used for breast phantom measurement system to analyze the variation of backscattering signal and transmit-received pulses. The observation during the analysis of the numerical and measured data reveals that the designed antenna is a suitable candidate for ultra-wideband (UWB)-based microwave imaging applications.

Abstract In this research study, a compact dual-polarized co-radiator ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with improved impedance bandwidth and isolation is proposed for wireless applications. The designed co-radiator has an overall area of 0.3λo × 0.3λo mm2 (where, λo is free space wavelength corresponding to the lower cut-off frequency, i.e., 3.1 GHz). The proposed resonator comprises of a hybrid geometry which is created with the combinations of a circular-shaped patch, a square, and two rectangular stubs. It is centrally aligned between two 50 Ω micro-strip feed lines that are positioned orthogonal to each other. Further, the modified ground plane is attached with the end-loaded line which provides broadband isolation over entire UWB frequency band. The simulated results of the proposed antenna exhibit wideband characteristics with impedance bandwidth of 3.1–16.9 GHz with minimum isolation of −15 dB. Moreover, all the radiation performance parameters are analyzed and discussed. Some important diversity parameters such as envelope correlation coefficient, mean effective gain, effective diversity gain, and channel capacity loss have also been evaluated. Furthermore, all the measured results of proposed antenna agree well with the simulated results which make the proposed antenna a suitable candidate for UWB-MIMO wireless applications.

Elevated-coplanar-waveguide- (ECPW-) fed microstrip antenna with inverted “G” slots in the back conductor is presented. It is modeled and analyzed for the application of multiple frequency bands. The changes in radiation and the transmission characteristics are investigated by the introduction of the slots in two different positions at the ground plane (back conductor). The proposed antenna without slots exhibits a stop band from 2.55 GHz to 4.25 GHz while introducing two slots on the back conductor, two adjacent poles appear at central frequencies of 3.0 GHz and 3.9 GHz, respectively, and the antenna shows the ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristics. The first pole appears at the central frequency of 3.0 GHz and covers the band width of 950 MHz, and the second pole exists at a central frequency of 3.90 GHz covering a bandwidth of 750 MHz. Experimental result shows that impedance bandwidth of 129% (S11<-10 dB) is well achieved when the antenna is excited with both slots. Compared to most of the previously reported ECPW structures, the impedance bandwidth of this antenna is increased and also the size of the antenna becomes smaller and more suitable for many wireless applications like PCS (1850–1990 MHz), WLAN (2.4–2.484 GHz), WiMAX (2.5–2.69 GHz and 5.15–5.85 GHz), and also X-band communication.

Abstract A new wideband omni-directional compact rectangular ring dielectric resonator antenna (RRDRA) fused with slotted bevel shaped patch antenna is presented for the ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The RRDR (rectangular ring dielectric resonator) is employed to generate lower order radiating modes with merge with the modes of patch to obtain high impedance bandwidth in UWB region. Further, RRDR use led to reduction in overall conductor loss to achieve high radiation efficiency. The proposed RRDRA structure achieved an impedance bandwidth covering the frequency range from 2.6–15.6 GHz, or ∼142%. The measured results show that the proposed DRA provides peak measured gain of 6.2 dBi and radiation efficiency of 90% at resonant frequency 6.3 GHz with stable omni-directional monopole like radiation patterns with low cross-polarization. The proposed antenna has a short ground plane of size 40 × 40 × 11.6 mm3 or ∼0.34λ 0 × 0.34λ 0 × 0.10λ 0 at 2.6 GHz.
