scholarly journals A Novel Compact Microstrip UWB Rectangular Stair Slot Antenna for the Analysis of Return Losses

This article deals with the various designs of a novel compact microstrip fed UWB antenna to investigate the corresponding return losses of different structures. The dimension of the designed antenna is 33 x 19 x 1.9 mm3 with FR4 substrate and it can be operated from 2.846 - 11.7458 GHz. The effects of varying the structure of antenna are to exhibit the investigation of corresponding return losses. Different structures of antenna are simulated in Ansoft HFSS simulator. The results of return losses and radiation patterns are explored with the ultra wide band (UWB) rectangular Stair slot antenna. The modified structure of antenna shows the minimized return loss with an enhanced bandwidth that satisfies good UWB characteristics. Antenna performance can also be explored from the radiation behavior of the antenna which is relatively omni-directional pattern for rectangular Stair slot antenna

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.

An ultra-wide band planar monopole antenna is presented in this paper. This antenna uses a pentagonal patch as radiation unit and is fed by a microstrip line. The relevant simulation is performed by using Ansoft HFSS. The return loss curve and the radiation patterns of this new antenna are given. And the effect of the size of the various parts of the antenna on the reflection loss is analyzed. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna provides an ultra-wide bandwidth (1.70~12.90 GHz) for return loss less than -10dB (VSWR<2). It is suitable for current ultra-wide band communication systems.

The main objective is to design a dual band rejection micro strip patch antenna. In this antenna, H-shaped slots are made in the patch to achieve notched characteristics at two licensed band employed for Wimax and WLAN band. The above mentioned frequency ranges are licensed for WLAN and satellite communication applications. These antennas maintain the Omni-directional radiation patterns and are mostly suited for ultra wide band applications. For wide band operation, the shape of patch has been altered to octagonal just by chamfering the corners of the rectangular patch. The antenna parameters like radiation patterns, VSWR, reflection loss have been described clearly in this section. Radar applications, terrestrial networking and communication, space communications are some of the applications in this ultra wide band frequency range.

One of the applications of UWB antenna is for detecting a cancer tumor according to breast cancer model system. The absolute dimensions of antenna are 44x30mm2 having a thickness of 1.6 mm. It involves Ultra wide band of 80% frequency range of 3 GHz–12 GHz for the FCC band. The proposed antenna resulted high gain and omni-directional radiation patterns and a considerable impedance matching. The optimized functioning of the antenna is illustrated by the simulation results. This antenna has been implemented in a designed system model with dielectric properties of a human breast capable to detect peculiar bodies. The tumor is detected and examined by the received Proportions and Positional coordinates, accessed by the application of UWB antenna. The accurate position coordinates of the tumor inside the breast are obtained at the places with the least Specific absorption rate (SAR). The antenna was used to localize the tumor precisely which shows the excellent functioning of the antenna and device. The proposed device is simulated by using Ansoft HFSS software and also CST Microwave studio simulator developed the breast model.

A compact reconfigurable and notched ultra-wideband (UWB) tapered slot antenna (TSA) is presented. The antenna reconfiguration operation principle relies on 2 mechanisms: in the first mechanism a resonator parasitic microstrip line electrically coupled to the TSA is used to notch the TSA at a specific frequency and the second mechanism relies on changing the input impedance matching of the antenna by means of changing the length of a stub line extended from an additional tiny partial ground on the back side of the antenna. The reflection coefficient, radiation patterns, and gain simulations and measurements for the proposed antenna are presented to verify the design concepts featuring a very satisfactory performance. Total efficiency simulations and measurements are also presented to highlight the filtering performance of the reconfigured antenna. When the antenna was reconfigured from the UWB to work into multiple frequency bands, the radiation patterns were still the same and the total peak gain has slightly improved compared to the UWB case. In addition, when the antenna operated in the notched mode, the gain has significantly dropped at the notch frequency. The simplicity and flexibility of the proposed multimode antenna make it a good candidate for future cognitive radio front ends.
