Log Periodic Antenna

In this work, a single port exponential tapered toothed log periodic antenna based on graphene artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is suggested for ultra-wideband (1–10) THz operation. The resonance frequency of the proposed antenna can be tuned by changing the connected DC voltage which leads to variation in the chemical potential of the graphene.The radiating toothed log periodic antenna consists of gold patch placed on 25x25 graphene patches which act as an AMC surface unit. Exponential taper is used to satisfy impedance matching between the antenna and the feeder over the frequency range. The simulation results reveal that 90% of frequency range satisfies when the chemical potential is1eV.

Simulation Results

In this paper, we present a novel flexible moon-shaped slot implantable antenna for neural recording systems and head implants. It covers both medical Industrial, Scientific and Medical band (2.45 GHz) and impulse ratio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) frequency range (3.1–10.6 GHz) for forward and backward telemetry applications. It has a simple and miniaturized structure in comparison with the antennas reported in the other researches. Furthermore, for adapting with natural curvature of human head, a flexible substrate is chosen with a good antenna performance under the bending. The proposed antenna is analyzed in a multi-layer box model of head tissues to speed up the antenna design procedures. On the basis of the simulation results, we achieved the good impedance matching over the desired frequency range (S11below −10 dB). Far-field characteristics are considered, as well. The directivity is in suitable range for UWB short-range communications and its mean value is 3.84 dBi. Finally, to take into account patents’ safety regulations and the effective isotropic radiated power restriction in the desired frequency range, the maximum power of transmitter has been calculated. A phantom containing a mixture of sugar and water is used to test the fabricated antenna. The measured parameters are well matched to the full-wave simulation results.

AbstractThis paper reports on an ultra-wideband low-noise distributed amplifier (LNDA) in a transferred-substrate InP double heterojunction bipolar transistor (DHBT) technology which exhibits a uniform low-noise characteristic over a large frequency range. To obtain very high bandwidth, a distributed architecture has been chosen with cascode unit gain cells. Each unit cell consists of two cascode-connected transistors with 500 nm emitter length and ft/fmax of ~360/492 GHz, respectively. Due to optimum line-impedance matching, low common-base transistor capacitance, and low collector-current operation, the circuit exhibits a low-noise figure (NF) over a broad frequency range. A 3-dB bandwidth from 40 to 185 GHz is measured, with an NF of 8 dB within the frequency range between 75 and 105 GHz. Moreover, this circuit demonstrates the widest 3-dB bandwidth operation among all reported single-stage amplifiers with a cascode configuration. Additionally, this work has proposed that the noise sources of the InP DHBTs are largely uncorrelated. As a result, a reliable prediction can be done for the NF of ultra-wideband circuits beyond the frequency range of the measurement equipment.

On Chip

An artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) applied in millimeter wave on chip antenna design based on a standard 0.18 μm CMOS technology is studied. The AMC consisting of two-dimensional periodic dogbone shape elements is constructed at one metal layer of the CMOS structure. After its performance has been completely investigated, it has been used in an on chip dipole antenna design as an artificial background to enhance efficiency of the dipole antenna. The result shows that 0.72 dB gain has been achieved at 75 GHz when the AMC is constructed by a 4*6 dogbone array.

This paper presents a spiral antenna design operating in the frequency range of 1–15 GHz having both selective notch bands and wideband response. The main feed arm of spiral antenna is configured as rectangular monopole of width quarter wavelength to achieve impedance matching with standard 50 Ω excitation. Frequency tuning in the design is achieved by placing varactor diode at an appropriate position along the spiral arms and in the ground plane. The design offers a peak gain of 3.4 dB (simulated) and 3 dB (measured). The unique frequency response of antenna makes its suitable to be used for front-end system of cognitive radio for sensing the spectrum in various modes.

Rejection Band

This article presents a compact novel quasi-self-complementary semi-octagonal-shaped antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) application. The proposed novel structure is fed by a microstrip line where different rectangular truncation is etched to the ground plane as an impedance matching element, which results for much wider impedance bandwidth (VSWR<2) from 2.9 to 20 GHz. In order to obtain band-notched characteristics at 5.5 GHz, an open-ended, quarter wavelength, spiral-shaped stub is introduced in the vicinity of the truncated part of the ground plane. An equivalent circuit model is adopted to investigate the band rejection characteristics of the ground plane stub. Sharpness of the rejection band can be controlled by maintaining the gap between stub resonator and the slotted periphery of ground plane. The proposed antenna design is validated by experimental measurements.

The proposed Wilkinson power divider has been designed and printed on low-cost Epoxy laminate substrate FR4 along with the thickness of 1.6mm and relative permittivity of ɛr =4.3 respectively. The transformation of power divider network which are based on bent corners as a replacement of sharp corners or edges used for the decrement in unintended radiation and employing a single radial stub on each branch to encounter the antenna-specifications. Further some adjustments in the dimension of stubs matching in order to increase the reflection of the power divider network. The design presents the model of a power divider and maintains an equal power splitting at different ports with practical insertion loss and conventional return loss below -10dB. The reasonable impedance matching has achieved at every single port with acceptable isolation performance values over the (3-to-10 GHz) frequency range. The divider as well as antenna elements design and its optimization are practicable via computer simulation technology (CST) simulation software. The experimental results are revealed to encounter the arrayspecifications under ultra-wideband frequency range..
