scholarly journals Enhancement of Bandwidth using Inset-Fed Patch Antenna for High Frequency Applications

Today in communication field, many antennas have been evolved for various applications. The most popularly used antennas are micro-strip antennas. These antennas can be easily fabricated at reasonably low cost. Hence, these antennas are gaining lot of importance in recent times. Many techniques have been in use for micro strip antennas to improve the performance of the antenna parameters. The design of these antennas is slowly moving towards high frequencies, where there is lot of advantage with bandwidth. In this paper a normal and E shaped inset micro-strip antenna in Ku-Band is simulated and the results are presented. It is noted that CST-MS 2015 tool has been used to get the simulation results.

A metamaterial extended microstrip rectangular patch antenna with CSRR loading and defected ground structures(DGS) is proposed for wideband applications with band notching at the frequencies of KU band. The proposed antenna is designed by embedding it on Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate with good impedance matching of 50 Ω at the feedline.The high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) is used to design and simulate the antennas parameters in the operating band. Measurement results confirm the antenna characteristics as predicted in the simulation with a slight shift in frequencies.

The probe-fed rectangular patch antenna with the Minkowski fractal structure which for 2.45GHz was simulated by using high frequency electromagnetic simulation software HFSS V11.The Simulation results showed that it was similar to side-fed square patch antenna with the Minkowski fractal structure. The resonant frequency decreased with fractal iteration, and the size of the antenna could be miniaturized. And antenna pattern unchanged with fractal iteration mostly, which meet the application requirements basically.


Easy fabrications and low cost makes microstrip patch radiators more necessary for many applications. In this paper, some observations are made on microstrip patch mounted on a cylindrical curved surface with variation in radius. Considered patch antenna placed on a planar surface operating at a frequency of 5GHz. The same patch was placed on a cylindrical surface with radius of 15mm and 20mm and different properties of the antenna are measured. Here the cylinder will act as substrate and the material used for Substrate is FR4_epoxy with relative permittivity 4.4 and Dielectric loss tangent of 0.02. The antenna design and simulations are carried by High Frequency Structural Simulation (HFSS) tool

The microstrip patch antenna is used in various communication applications including cellular phones, satellites, missiles, and radars, due to its several attractive features such as small size and weight, low cost, and easy fabrication. The microstrip patch antenna consists of a top radiating patch, a bottom ground plane, and a dielectric substrate in between. The patch can have different shapes, the rectangular patch being the most commonly used. In practice, the microstrip antenna suffers from narrow bandwidth and low gain efficiency. This paper aims to enhance the bandwidth and efficiency of a rectangular-patch antenna using the High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). Initially different patch sizes and substrate materials are investigated and optimal antenna parameters are achieved. Then, the antenna performance is further enhanced by inserting single and double slot designs into the patch. Two cost-effective feeding methods are involved in the investigation. The antenna is designed to operate in the Super High Frequency (SHF) band.

Piezoelectric transducers are used in a wide variety of applications, including damage detection in structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. Among the various methods for detecting structural damage, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) method is one of the most investigated in recent years. In this method, the transducer is typically excited with low frequency signals up to 500 kHz. However, recent studies have indicated the use of higher frequencies, usually above 1 MHz, for the detection of some types of damage and the monitoring of some structures’ characteristics that are not possible at low frequencies. Therefore, this study investigates the performance of low-cost piezoelectric diaphragms excited with high frequency signals for SHM applications based on the EMI method. Piezoelectric diaphragms have recently been reported in the literature as alternative transducers for the EMI method and, therefore, investigating the performance of these transducers at high frequencies is a relevant subject. Experimental tests were carried out with piezoelectric diaphragms attached to two aluminum bars, obtaining the impedance signatures from diaphragms excited with low and high frequency signals. The analysis was performed using the real part of the impedance signatures and two basic damage indices, one based on the Euclidean norm and the other on the correlation coefficient. The experimental results indicate that piezoelectric diaphragms are usable for the detection of structural damage at high frequencies, although the sensitivity decreases.

A non-planar electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structured antenna is proposed in this paper for wireless communication applications. The proposed design consists of coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed square patch antenna embedded with triangular EBG backing on FR-4 substrate material for 2.4 GHz (Wi-Fi, LTE) and 5.2 GHz (WLAN) applications. Gain is improved from 2.8 dB to 13.9 dB by adding EBG structure in the proposed antenna and the parametric analysis is done for optimizing the antenna performance characteristics. The proposed antenna provides a maximum efficiency of 82.5% in the resonating frequencies. The prototyped antenna is having good correlation with the simulation results obtained from Finite Element Method (FEM) based Anyss-HFSS. High Frequency Structure Simulator is used to analyze the antenna parameters and the simulated and measured results are correlating well with each other with a slight change in frequencies.

AbstractIn this paper, a novel tri-band reconfigurable patch antenna with simple structure is presented. By changing the on-off state of only two PIN diodes, the antenna can operate in three bands, namely X-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band. The overall size of the antenna is 0.24λL × 0.5λL × 0.019λL, where λL is the free-space wavelength of the lowest operating frequency. A prototype is fabricated and measured to verify the design. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation results, which indicate that the proposed antenna can be flexibly switched between three bands of 10.9–11.18 GHz, 15.65–15.9 GHz, and 32.3–33.6 GHz with stable radiation patterns.

AbstractInorganic-organic hybrid polymers (ORMOCE®s) combine very good optical and dielectricproperties in the frequency range up to 1 MHz (εr = 3.1 and tanδ = 0.004, both at 1 MHz). Thisis particularly promising for electro-optical (e/o) applications. Multi-layer microwave circuits forhigh frequency applications up to 100 GHz demand extraordinary material properties such as alow permittivity εr < 3 and a dielectric loss tanδ of about 10-3. For low-cost processing, direct UVpatterning would be particularly advantageous. Additionally, the material should be thermallystable at least up to temperatures around 300°C.We have developed a series of novel ORMOCE® materials for high frequency applications.Using these ORMOCE®s, thick film coatings (up to 150 m) can be produced and directlypatterned by UV lithography with sufficiently high resolution. The synthesis has been carried outusing styrene-substituted organosilanes and silanediols as precursors reacted by simplified solgel-processing in combination with organic cross-linking of polymerizable organic functions.The materials have been characterized at high frequencies up to 40 GHz, exhibiting verypromising dielectric properties of εr = 2.5 and tanδ = 0.0035.
