As the size of the antenna often has a significant influence on overall dimensions of the wireless system, its reduction in size becomes a significant challenge. The objective of this chapter is to present new contributions made for reducing the size of the antenna array while maintaining excellent performance. An overview of the antenna array is introduced. Then, two designed and fabricated antenna arrays with compact size and good performances are exposed. The first microstrip patch antenna array is miniaturized using a novel shape of defected ground structure (DGS) etched in the ground plane of each radiating element of the antenna array. While the second one is two antenna arrays which are separated by two magnetic walls of a planar compact electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure, with the aim to miniature and to reduce the mutual coupling between them, keeping both the antenna arrays separation smaller than 0.6λ5.8GHz. A full-wave electromagnetic analysis had achieved to evaluate the electrical performances of the proposed structures by using HFSS and CST-MWS.

Purpose – If the two or more than two antennas are present in the antenna array, the mutual coupling between them becomes a critical issue to deal with. At microwave frequency, microstrip design is often used as a transmission line because of its good performance in transferring the energy and microwave signals. Most commonly used microstrip antenna has similar structure as that of the microstrip line. On one side of dielectric substrate layer, is an extremely thin layer of conductor that forms the radiating elements and on bottom side is the ground plane made up of metallic material. Our main motive is to maintain mutual coupling suppressing structure to its simplest form. Methodology/approach/design – We therefore use a Defected Ground Structure (DGS), which greatly decreases the mutual coupling between the two antennas, thus enhancing the performance of the antenna array. Findings – The introduction of the DGS does not affect the characteristics of antenna array system. The Simulation is done using CST (Computer Simulation Technology) software and the results are tested using Vector Network Analyzer. Both the simulated and measured results are in good agreement. The coupling has been reduced from -22 to -37 dB. The recent boom in wireless industry has led to the demand for the multiband antennas.

Band Gap Structure

In this paper, two new three layer (stacked) Electromagnetic Band Gap structures are proposed, named as Stacked Electromagnetic Band Gap (SEBG) and Progressive Stack Electromagnetic Band Gap (PSEBG) structures. Its electromagnetic (EM) properties are determined by using Finite element method (FEM) based simulator and obtained results are compared with classical mushroom type electromagnetic band gap (MEBG) structure. Both SEBG and PSEBG structures proposed in this paper consists of two layers above the conducting ground plane; a lower layer, contains array of small MEBGs with square patches and an upper layer contains square planar MEBG structure. Vertical conducting stubs passing through substrate shorting all square patches in both the layers with conducting ground. Three EBG structures are exhibiting the property of forbidden band gap (FBG), where surface wave propagation is restricted. The FBG property helps in minimization of mutual coupling between array antennas when electromagnetic band gap structures are incorporated between array elements. In this paper, the level of coefficient of mutual coupling between array antenna in the presence of SEBG and PSEBG are investigated, obtained results are compared with classical MEBG results. The co-efficient of mutual coupling is reduced up to 12dB in the presence of proposed models.

In order to increase the gain of an end-fire antenna array and improve its broadband characteristics, techniques using a dielectric lens and defected ground structure have been investigated in this paper. The element of the array was constructed using an antipodal tapered slot, and two pairs of U-slots were symmetrically cut on the edges of the two antipodal fins to obtain better performance regarding impedance and radiation in the wider band. While loading an ellipse dielectric lens onto each element, the direction and gain were enhanced at the higher frequency. Meanwhile, a defected ground structure was added on the ground plane to decline the mutual coupling of adjacent radiation arms. This design method was verified by a four-element array and a four-way Wilkinson power divider was used as a feed network. Finally, a fabricated sample was tested. Experimental results showed the designed array was available.

Abstract This paper presents a compact dual-band filtering antenna without extra employing of filter structures. The antenna is designed using a planar dual-composite right/left-handed (D-CRLH) transmission line unit cell, where the filtering function is achieved through current cancellation between the D-CRLH resonators. The antenna is designed to function at 3.0 and 5.1 GHz, which can serve different WLAN applications. The antenna is a co-planar waveguide fed with a very compact size of only 30 × 16 mm2. Compared to the conventional patch antenna, the antenna size is only 17% at 3.0 GHz and 31% at 5.1 GHz. Despite the small size, the antenna preserves a good omni-directional radiation pattern at the two resonant frequencies with a measured realized gain of 2 and 2.7 dB, respectively. At the stopband in-between the two resonant bands, the reflection coefficient is almost 0 dB at 4.25 GHz and complete non-radiation is proved with a −11 dB measured realized gain. The different antenna filtering functions are verified by full-wave simulation and measurements.

Miniaturized Antenna

In this paper, a novel circular slotted rectangular patch antenna with three triangle shape Defected Ground Structure (DGS) has been proposed. Radiating patch is made by cutting circular slots of radius 3 mm from the three sides and center of the conventional rectangular patch structure and three triangle shape defects are presented on the ground layer. The size of the proposed antenna is 38 X 25 mm2. Optimization is performed and simulation results have been obtained using Empire XCcel 5.51 software. Thus, a miniaturized antenna is designed which has three impedance bandwidths of 0.957 GHz,  0.779 GHz, 0.665 GHz with resonant frequencies at 3.33 GHz, 6.97 GHz and 8.59 GHz and the corresponding return loss at the three resonant frequencies are -40 dB, -43 dB and -38.71 dB respectively. A prototype is also fabricated and tested. Fine agreement between the measured and simulated results has been obtained. It has been observed that introducing three triangle shape defects on the ground plane results in increased bandwidth, less return loss, good radiation pattern and better impedance matching over the required operating bands which can be used for wireless applications and future 5G applications.
