Specific Frequency

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.

This paper presents the design and realization of a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a rectangular notch wireless area network (WLAN) band that has controllable notched bandwidth and center frequency. The UWB characteristics of the antenna are achieved by truncating the lower ends of the rectangular microstrip patch, and the notch characteristics are obtained by using electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures. EBGs consist of two rectangular metallic conductors loaded on the back of the radiator, which is connected to the patch by shorting pins. A rectangular notch at the WLAN band with high selectivity is realized by tuning the individual resonant frequencies of the EBGs and merging them. Furthermore, the results show that the bandwidth and frequency of the rectangular notch band could be controlled according to the on-demand rejection band applications. In the demonstration, the rectangular notch band was shifted to X-band satellite communication by tuning the EBG parameters. The simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna has an operational bandwidth from 3.1–12.5 GHz for |S11| < -10 with a rectangular notch band from 5–6 GHz, thus rejecting WLAN band signals. The antenna also has additional advantages: the overall size of the compact antenna is 16 × 25 × 1.52 mm3 and it has stable gain and radiation patterns.

Pcb Design

From this current paper, 3 separate elliptical slotted ultra- wide band (UWB) antennas are being proposed. These antennas have been designed with a standard PCB design process to be capable of integrating with radiofrequency or microwave circuitry. Two designs were presented in which the initial design comprised a half circular ring radiator and the remaining one considers a half elliptical ring radiator. The third design of the radiator is in the shape of a crescent. The impedance bandwidth of all these presented antenna designs varies from 2.5GHz and reaches to 14GHz with a S11 less than -10GHz. Here, every proposed antenna design also has a consistent radiation pattern across its frequency band of interest. The performance of the antenna is impressive for lower band frequency in UWB system, which differs in a range of 3.1GHz to 5.1GHz. Across the whole frequency band the antenna shows a 10db return loss bandwidth. The antenna is fabricated on RT-duroid substrate and fed with 50 Ω coupled tappered transmission line.

A novel design of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antenna with irregularly shaped hexagonal patch built on the elliptical-shaped FR-4 laminate with εr = 4.3 and tanδ = 0.025 is presented. The feed mechanism utilized in the structure proposed is modified co-planar waveguide (CPW), the feeding microstrip is tapered near the connecting edge of the patch for better impedance matching.

The antenna can be used for wide range of UWB applications as it exhibits good omnidirectional characteristics with a realized peak gain of 4.178dB and an average realized gain of 3.063dB. The simulation work of the antenna is accomplished using CST Studio (v. 2014).

AbstractA coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed circular slot ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with triple band-notched characteristics is proposed and its performance is evaluated by HFSS simulation and measurement. The three notch bands are realized by means of two arc-shaped parasitic elements (ASPEs) and an E-shaped stub (ESS). By adjusting the dimensions of the ASPEs and ESS, three notch bands can be tuned to filter unwanted 3.5 GHz WiMAX, 5.5 GHz WLAN and 8 GHz X-band signals. The simulated and measured results demonstrate that the proposed antenna covers the entire UWB band with voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2 and provides three notch bands to reduce potential interferences from existing narrowband systems. Furthermore, this tri-band frequency rejection UWB antenna can provide omnidirectional radiation patterns and high rejection band-notched characteristics, which are suitable for UWB communication applications.

AbstractIn this study, estimation of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) characteristics of microstrip elliptic patch antenna is investigated by means of k-nearest neighborhood algorithm. A total of 16,940 antennas are simulated by changing antenna dimensions and substrate material. Antennas are examined by observing Return Loss and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) characteristics. In the study, classification of antennas in terms of having UWB characteristics results in accuracies higher than 97%. Additionally, Consistency based Feature Selection method is applied to eliminate redundant and irrelevant features. This method yields that substrate material does not affect the UWB characteristics of the antenna. Classification process is repeated for the reduced feature set, reaching to 97.44% accuracy rate. This result is validated by 854 antennas, which are not included in the original antenna set. Antennas are designed for seven different substrate materials keeping all other parameters constant. Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio (CST MWS) is used for the design and simulation of the antennas.
