scholarly journals On the Design of 2×2 MIMO Fractal Antenna Array for C band applications

A 2×2 MIMO planar fractal antenna array using Sierpinski gasket along with microstrip feed line has been investigated. Different configurations of antenna array has been studied. The optimized unit element used in array is further modified geometrically by corner rounding and cut in feed to improve its performance including gain. Proposed fractal array antenna resonates at 4.19 GHz and 7.86 GHz lies in C band and simulated using High frequency structure simulator. Such an attempt has been rarely reported in the literature. Simulated reflection coefficient shows that Proposed antenna works in C band frequency range for various applications and results are quite promising

Abstract: In the present work an attempt has been made to design and simulation of rectangular microstrip double patch antenna for X band using microstrip feed line techniques. HFSS High frequency simulator is used to analyse the proposed antenna and simulated the result on the return loss, radiation pattern and gain of the proposed antenna. The antenna is able to achieve in the range of 8-12 GHz for return loss of less than -10 dB. The operating frequency of the proposed antenna is 8.7 GHz with dielectric substrate, ARLON of = 2.5 and h= 1.6mm. Keywords: ARLON substrate material, FEM, Microstrip Feed Line, X band

Abstract In this research article, the design of a broadband monopole antenna with triband notch characteristics is proposed. Notch characteristics are achieved by using an E-shaped slot on the patch and a U-shaped slot on the 50 Ω microstrip feed line. An E-shaped slot is introduced on the metal patch to reject one frequency band of 6.6 − 7.5 GHz and when an additional U-shaped slot is introduced on the microstrip feed line, it provides two-notch frequency bands of 4.8 − 5.7 GHz and 14.2 − 17.5 GHz. The notch bands are effectively used to avoid undesired interference from the WLAN, C band, and Ku band. The proposed antenna provides a very broad frequency range from 3.3 − 19.5 GHz except for three notch bands. The antenna is small in size and easy to design with only a volume of 29 mm × 21mm × 1.6 mm. The antenna is useful for broadband applications.

Abstract A circularly polarized ring cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (ring-CDRA) of wideband impedance bandwidth is presented in this article. The proposed ring CDRA consist of an inverted rectangular (tilted rectangular) shaped aperture and inverted L-shaped slotted microstrip feed line. The tilted rectangular shaped aperture and inverted L-shaped microstrip feed line generate two-hybrid mode HEM11δ and HEM12δ while ring CDRA and slotted microstrip feed line are used for the enhancement of impedance bandwidth. The proposed ring CDRA is resonating between 6.08 and 12.2 GHz with 66.95% (6120 MHz) impedance bandwidth. The axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 6.99% (780 MHz) is obtained between 10.76 and 11.54 GHz with a minimum AR value of 0.2 dB at a frequency of 11 GHz. The proposed geometry of ring CDRA has been validated with measurement performed by VNA and anechoic chamber. The operating range of the proposed radiator is useful for different applications in X-band.

A Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) for 1.8 GHz Long Term Evolution (LTE) applications is investigated and presented. The antenna consisting of two rectangular dielectric resonator elements, both resonators are fed by microstrip feed line is etched on FR4 substrate. The simulated impedance bandwidth for port1 and port2 is 26.38% (1.6176-2.1093 GHz) and 26.80% (1.6146-2.1143GHz) respectively for |S11| ≤ -6dB, which can operate on LTE band 1-4,9,10,35-37 and 39. The gain of the MIMO RDRA is 3.2 dBi and 3.1 dBi at 1.8 GHz for port 1and port 2, respectively. The S-parameters, isolation, gain, and MIMO performance such as correlation coefficient and diversity gain of the presented RDR Antenna have been studied.

AbstractA polarization and band reconfigurable cross-slot antenna for multiband applications is presented in this paper. The antenna consists of four p–i–n diodes embedded in the cross-shaped slot in a ground plane and excited by a microstrip feed line. The p–i–n diodes are placed in such a way that they produce multiple bands, with linearly and circularly polarized (CP) radiation. By switching the states of the p–i–n diodes, the sense of rotation of the electric field in CP radiation can be reconfigured. The proposed structure can be configured to produce two bands that radiate linearly polarized waves or three bands, where, two are linearly polarized and one is CP. The proposed design concepts are validated bythe CST studio suite as well as measurementsare carried out on fabricated prototypes.

AbstractA 3D Feed horn shape MEMS antenna has some attractive features for array application, which can be used to improve microbolometer performance. Since MEMS technology have been faced many difficulties to fabrication of 3D feed horn shape MEMS antenna array itself. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new fabrication method to realize a 3D feed horn shape MEMS antenna array using a MRPBI(Mirror Reflected Parallel Beam Illuminator) system with an ultra-slow-rotated and inclined x-y-z stage. A high-aspect-ratio 300 [.proportional]m sidewalls had been fabricated using SU-8 negative photo resist. It can be demonstrated to feasibility of realize 3D feed horn shape MEMS antenna array fabrication. In order to study the effect of this novel technique, the 3D feed horn shape MEMS antenna array had been simulated with HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator) tools and then compared with traditional 3D theoretical antenna models. As a result, it seems possible to use a 3D feed horn shape MEMS antenna at the tera hertz band to improve microbolometer performance and optical MEMS device fabrication.
