In this paper, a novel compact broadband antenna at UHF frequencies is presented with canonical shapes. Hemispherical, conical and cylindrical shapes have all been considered for antenna configuration. The designed antenna provides an instantaneous frequency range from 370 to 5,000 MHz with omnidirectional characteristics. The antenna was simulated in CST Microwave Studio, fabricated and evaluated; the results are presented. The simulated and measurement results are in good agreement. The antenna has voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) ≤ 1.9:1 in 400–570 MHz, 2,530–3,740 MHz and 4,180–4,620 MHz; it has VSWR ≤ 3:1 over the operating frequency range 370–5,000 MHz and the measured gain varies from -0.6 to 4.5 dBi over the frequency band. The concept of canonical-shaped antenna elements and the incorporation of triple sleeves resulted in a reduction of the length of the antenna by 62% compared to the length of a half-wave dipole antenna designed at the lowest frequency. The antenna can be used for trans-receiving applications in wireless communication.

Improvement in the antenna gain is usually achieved at the expense of bandwidth and vice versa. This is where the realization of this enhancement can be made through compromising the antenna profile. In this work, we propose a new design of incorporating periodic metasurface array to enhance the bandwidth and gain while keeping the antenna to a low-profile scheme. The proposed antenna was simulated and fabricated in order to validate the results in the operating frequency range from 10 MHz to 43.5 GHz. Computer simulation technology (CST) microwave studio software was used to design and simulate the proposed antenna, while LPKF prototyping PCB machine was utilized to fabricate the antenna. Results showed that the antenna generated a gain and bandwidth of 14.2 dB and 2.13 GHz, respectively. Following the good agreement between the numerical and measurement results, it is believed that the proposed antenna can be potentially attractive for the application of satellite communications in Ku-band electromagnetic wave.

Рассматривается полуволновый диполь с установленным рефлектором, который позволяет производить сканирование пространства с использованием вращения рефлектора вокруг диполя. Для полученной конструкции производилось моделирование основных параметров, которые показали высокую стабильность при различных положениях рефлектора, постоянное значение коэффициента направленного действия, ширины главного лепестка. Изменение направления излучения совпадает с текущим положением рефлектора. По сравнению с ситуацией, когда у антенны отсутствовал рефлектор, КНД антенны увеличился, так как произошла фокусировка электромагнитных волн. Коэффициент полезного действия и передне-заднее отношение сохраняют высокие значения во всем диапазоне рабочих частот. Применение предложенной конструкции позволяет упростить конструкцию сканирующих антенн, так как для ее реализации требуются лишь полуволновой диполь и плоский рефлектор, установленный на малом расстоянии от источника излучения. В процессе управления характеристиками требуется вращать рефлектор вокруг диполя, при этом диполь остается неподвижным, что позволяет повысить эффективность предложенной конструкции, так как не требуется формировать сложных антенных систем или устанавливать комбинацию из нескольких антенн для фокусировки излучения в одном направлении от источника The article discusses a half-wave dipole with an installed reflector, which allows scanning space using the rotation of the reflector around the dipole. For the resulting structure, we simulated the main parameters, which showed high stability at various positions of the reflector, a constant value of the directivity factor, and the width of the main lobe. The change in the direction of radiation coincides with the current position of the reflector. Compared to the situation when the antenna did not have a reflector, the directivity of the antenna increased since the focusing of electromagnetic waves took place. The efficiency and the front-to-back ratio remain high throughout the entire operating frequency range. The use of the proposed design makes it possible to simplify the design of scanning antennas since the implementation of the proposed design requires only a half-wave dipole and a flat reflector installed at a short distance from the radiation source. In the process of controlling the characteristics, it is required to rotate the reflector around the dipole, while the dipole remains stationary, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the proposed design, since it is not required to form complex antenna systems or install a combination of several antennas to focus radiation in one direction from the source

In this paper, a novel wideband conformal fractal antenna is proposed for GPS application. The concepts of fractal and partial ground are used in conformal antenna design for miniaturization and bandwidth enhancement. It comprises of Minkowski fractal patch on a substrate of Rogers RT/duroid 5880 with permittivity 2.2 and thickness of 0.787mm with microstrip inset feed. The proposed conformal antenna has a patch dimension about 0.39λmm×0.39λmm, and partial ground plane size is 29mm×90mm.The proposed antenna is simulated, fabricated and measured for both planar and conformal geometry, with good agreement between measurements and simulations. The size of the fractal patch is reduced approximately by 32% as compared with conventional patch. It is observed that the conformal antenna exhibits a fractional bandwidth(for the definition of -10dB) of 43.72% operating from 1.09 to 1.7GHz, which is useful for L1(1.56-1.58GHz), L2(1.21-1.23GHz), L3(1.37-1.39GHz), L4(1.36-1.38GHz), and L5(1.16-1.18 GHz) in GPS and Galileo frequencies: E=1589.742MHz(4MHzbandwidth), E2=1561. 098MHz(4MHzbandwidth), E5a=1176.45MHz(=L5),E5b= 1207.14MHz, and E6=1278.75MHz(40MHz bandwidth). The radiation pattern exhibits an omnidirectional pattern, and gain of proposed antenna is 2.3dBi to 3.5dBi within operating frequency range.

This paper presents a multiple-resonance technique that sought to achieve a wide bandwidth for printed wide-slot antennas with fork-shaped stubs. By properly appending an extra fork-shaped stub onto the main fork-shaped stub, the impedance bandwidth was able to be clearly broadened. To validate this technique, two designs where the extra stubs were added at different positions of the main stub were constructed. The measured impedance bandwidths of the proposed antennas reached 148.6% (0.9–6.1 GHz) for S11 < −10 dB, indicating a 17.9% wider bandwidth than that of the normal antenna (0.9–4.3 GHz). Moreover, a stable radiation pattern was observed within the operating frequency range. The proposed antennas were confirmed to be much-improved candidates for applications in various wireless communication systems.

AbstractA multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna is designed and discussed for multi-band applications. The constituent antennas are composed of four L-shaped elements and a ground plane. When placed beside each other to form a MIMO antenna, a T-bar shaped parasitic structure is also embedded between the antennas on the backside of the substrate to increase the inter-element isolation. The triple-band performance of the antenna is observed at 2.15–2.73 GHz, 3.1–3.9 GHz, and 5.04–6 GHz. The isolation level of more than 20 is seen over the operating frequency range. The fabricated prototype of the MIMO antenna size is very compact (20 × 40 mm), printed on the FR4 substrate. Based on simulation and experimental results, the proposed design is useful for WiMAX and WLAN applications.

In this paper, a semi-elliptical annular slot loaded trapezoidal dipole antenna with band-notched characteristics for UWB applications is designed. A microstrip feedline consisting of multiple feedline sections is used for improving the impedance matching. The band-notched characteristics for WLAN band are achieved by loading the trapezoidal dipole arms with semi-elliptical annular slots. The designed antenna structure has an operating range from 3.5-12.4 GHz(109%) with band-rejection in the frequency range of 5-6 GHz. Nearly omnidirectional patterns are achieved for the designed antenna structure. The designed antenna structure provided an average peak gain of 2.12 dB over the entire frequency range except in the notched band where it reduced to -2.4 dB. The experimental and simulation results are observed to be in good agreement. An improved bandwidth performance with miniaturized dimensions as compared to earlier reported antenna structures is achieved.

By employing the complementary dipole antenna concept to the normal waveguide fed slot radiator, an improved antenna element with wide impedance bandwidth and symmetrical radiation patterns is developed. This is achieved by mounting two additional metallic cuboids on the top of the slot radiator, which is equivalent to adding an electric dipole on top of the magnetic dipole due to the slot radiator. Then, a high-gain antenna array was designed based on the improved element and fabricated, using 3D printing technology, with stable frequency characteristics operated at around 28 GHz. This was followed by metallization via electroplating. Analytical results agree well with the experimental results. The measured operating frequency range for the reflection coefficient ≤−15 dB is from 25.7 GHz to 29.8 GHz; its corresponding fractional impedance bandwidth is 14.8%. The measured gain is approximately 32 dBi, with the 3 dB beamwidth around 4°.

Abstract A current-mode bipolar power detector based on a novel synthesis of translinear loop squarer/divider is presented. The circuits consist of a single multiple-output current controlled current differencing transconductance amplifier (MO-CCCDTA), two current controlled conveyors (CCCII), and one resistor and one capacitor that are both grounded. The errors related to the signal processing and errors bound were investigated and presented in the paper. The PSpice simulation and experimental results are depicted, and agree well with the theoretical anticipation. The measurement results show that the scheme improves the accuracy of the detector to better than 0.04 % and wide operating frequency range from 50 Hz to 10 MHz. The maximum power consumption of the detector is approximately 5.80 mW, at ±1.2 V supply voltages.

A new concept of an ultrawide bandwidth 180°-hybrid-coupler is presented. The ultrawideband design approach is based on the excitation of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) mode and a coupled slot line (CSL) mode in the same double slotted planar waveguide. The coupler is suitable for realization in planar printed circuit board technology. For verification of the new concept a prototype was designed for the frequency range from 3 GHz to 11 GHz, built, and measured. The measurement results presented in this paper show a good agreement between simulation and measurement and demonstrate the very broadband performance of the new device. The demonstrated coupler with a size of 40 mm × 55 mm exhibits a fractional bandwidth of 114% centered at 7 GHz with a maximum amplitude imbalance of 0.8 dB and a maximum phase imbalance of 5°.
