A single fed circularly polarized reconfigurable patch antenna is proposed. The antenna consists of a radiating patch incorporated with an H-shaped slot at its center. Four ultra-miniature switches are used for polarization reconfiguration. The antenna is designed to operate at the center frequency of 2.357 GHz. The antenna achieves either left-hand polarization or right-hand polarization depending upon switching of corresponding switches. The antenna parameters are simulated using Ansoft high-frequency structure simulator and are validated using an Agilent network analyzer (N9925A) and antenna test systems. The antenna achieves a good impedance match of 120MHz between 2.26GHz – 2.38GHz band and achieves low cross-polarization isolation of -22.82 dB for RHCP and -21.77 dB for LHCP configurations at its operating frequency. The antenna finds application in areas of modern wireless communication.

A single feed circularly polarized patch antenna is presented. The antenna consists of a rhombus-shaped slot incorporated in the radiating patch at its center. The antenna is designed to operate at 2.3 GHz band. The antenna achieves left-hand polarization or right-hand polarization based on the orientation of the slot in the radiating patch. The antenna parameters are synthesized using a high-frequency structure simulator and its characteristics are validated by the Agilent network analyzer (N9925A) and antenna test systems. The measured results obtained agree with simulated results and show that the antenna achieves −10 dB impedance bandwidth of 85 MHz (2.27 GHz–2.355 GHz) for left-hand polarization and 85 MHz (2.26 GHz–2.345 GHz) for right-hand polarization. The antenna gives a 3 dB axial ratio beamwidth of 95°(−35° ≤ AR ≤ 60°) for both left-hand polarization and right-hand polarization along with better 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 140° in the operating band. The antenna also achieves a good cross-polarization isolation of −17 dBic for both left-hand and right-hand polarization at its operating frequency. Hence, the antenna is best suited for modern wireless communication systems.

A coplanar waveguide- (CPW-) fed compact wideband defected structure shaped microstrip antenna is proposed for wireless applications. Defected structure is produced by cutting theUshape antenna in the form of two-sided T shape. The proposed antenna consists of two-sidedTshape strip as compared to usual monopole patch antenna for minimizing the height of the antenna. The large space around the radiator is fully utilized as the ground is on the same plane as of radiator. Microstrip line feed is used to excite the proposed antenna placed on an FR4 substrate (dielectric constantεr=4.4). The antenna is practically fabricated and simulated. Simulated results of the proposed antenna have been obtained by using Ansoft High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software. These results are compared with measured results by using network analyzer. Measured result shows good agreement with the simulated results. It is observed that the proposed antenna shows a wideband from 2.96 GHz to 7.95 GHz with three bands atf1=3.23 GHz,f2=4.93 GHz, andf3=7.04 GHz.

AbstractIn the last decade, huge development has been seen in the field of wireless communication. The performance depends on the shape and size of the antenna. The future aim of wireless communication is to provide data with high speed data range even in harsh geographical areas. Here aim is to design and compare the E and H slot, T-slot, O-slot and U-slot antenna. The designed patch antenna operates at a frequency of 60 GHz with maximum antenna gain and minimum radiation loss using high frequency structure simulator (HFSS). We will use Rogers RT/duroid 5880 as substrate due to its suitable mechanical and insulating properties. Resonant frequency used will be 60 GHz and height will be 1.6 mm, 1.57 mm, 1.6 mm and 0.508 mm for E and H slot, T-slot, O-slot and U-slot, respectively.

This article introduces a planar monopole patch antenna for global positioning system (GPS) application. Our design has a circular patch with a stub of inverted L-shape which is used as the radiating portion and partial ground. Our proposed design of the stub allows the antenna to operate at a frequency of 1.5 GHz. The circular monopole is fed by an offset feeding to have an impedance match of 50 ohms. The compact antenna has been designed and simulated on RT Duroid 6006 material with relative permittivity ( ) of 6.15 and 0.0019 as the loss tangent. Our antenna has a dimension of 65 × 55 × 2.54 mm3 . A gain of 1.23 dB is observed at the resonant frequency of 1.5 GHz and the antenna exhibits dipole like radiation pattern both in E and H-plane. The antenna has better impedance matching, good gain and steady characteristics of radiation pattern across the operating bandwidth. High frequency structure simulator (HFSS) v.13.0 is used to carry out all the simulations.

Abstract A bilayer split-ring chiral metamaterial converts the linearly polarized wave, into a nearly perfect left or right-handed circularly polarized wave. The proposed antenna is intended to operate at center frequency of 5.80 GHz with switchable polarization capability. The polarization re-configurability is achieved by electronically switching of two PIN-diode pairs, which are embedded into bilayer split-ring Chiral Metamaterial. The optimized length of rectangular patch is 16 mm and width is 12.1 mm. Two types of radiation characteristics offered by the proposed antenna; left hand circularly polarized in mode 1 and right hand circularly polarized in mode 2. Measured results show that its impedance bandwidth is 155 MHz from 5.70 to 5.855 GHz for both mode 1 and mode 2. The measured axial-ratio bandwidth is 100 MHz from 5.75 to 5.85 GHz for mode 1 and 110 MHz from 5.73 to 5.84 GHz for mode 2. Antenna has LHCP gain of 2.52 dBi and RHCP gain of −23 dBi in mode 1. RHCP gain of 2 dBi and polarization purity of about −20 dBi is obtained in mode 2. The proposed antenna has simple structure, low cost and it has potential application in field of wireless communication (i.e., WiMax, WLAN etc.).


A comb shaped microstrip antenna is designed by loading rectangular slots on the patch of the antenna.

A new ka-band circularly-polarized antenna is presented in this paper, in which a linearly-polarized wave is conversed into a circularly-polarized wave with a circular waveguide polarizer. After simulation and optimization with HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator), a compact circularly-polarized antenna is designed with a total height less than 25mm. More simple and easier structure is adopted to achieve a low-profile circularly-polarized antenna.

This paper presents a novel patch antenna for TV white spaces applications. The shape of the proposed antenna is based on the shape of a wineglass. The dimension of the proposed antenna is 170 mm x 120 mm x 1.6 mm. After simulation, the proposed antenna resonates at 703 MHz with a return loss of -21.97 dB and covering a bandwidth from 495 MHz to 1540 MHz. Overall bandwidth coverage is 1045 MHz. So the proposed antenna is a wide band antenna covering almost the entire TV Ultra High Frequency (UHF) range. Simulated VSWR obtained at 703 MHz is 1.38 dB and simulated gain is 2.32 dB. The proposed antenna is fabricated using FR4 substrate and tested on Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). The measured return loss of fabricated antenna is -20.20 dB at 596 MHz. Proposed antenna shows the simulated radiation efficiency of 95%. Simulated and measured results showed good match between them. Proposed design is compared with few designs available in literature to validate its novelty and advantages.
