Abstract A compact hexagonal nested loop fractal antenna with L shaped slot on the ground plane is presented for multiband applications. In this paper, the effect of fractal iterations and position of L-slot on ground plane are optimized for better performance of the antenna. Multiple hexagon loops excite multiple resonant modes at 1.7, 2.4, 3.1, 4.5 and 6 GHz and an L-shaped slot on the ground plane helps to achieve wide bandwidth response with better impedance matching in the 4.25–6.41 GHz frequency band. An equivalent circuit of the proposed antenna is modelled and the same is verified using ADS. Reflection coefficient and radiation pattern are presented to further confirm the performance of the proposed design for wireless applications. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a low-cost FR4 substrate of dimensions 40×32×1.6 mm3 and measured results show good agreement with simulation results.

Reconfigurable Matching Network

Wireless devices such as smart meters, trackers, and sensors need connections at multiple frequency bands with low power consumption, thus requiring multiband and efficient antenna systems. At the same time, antennas should be small to easily fit in the scarce space existing in wireless devices. Small, multiband, and efficient operation is addressed here with non-resonant antenna elements, featuring volumes less than 90 mm3 for operating at 698–960 MHz as well as some bands in a higher frequency range of 1710–2690 MHz. These antenna elements are called antenna boosters, since they excite currents on the ground plane of the wireless device and do not rely on shaping complex geometric shapes to obtain multiband behavior, but rather the design of a multiband matching network. This design approach results in a simpler, easier, and faster method than creating a new antenna for every device. Since multiband operation is achieved through a matching network, frequency bands can be configured and optimized with a reconfigurable matching network. Two kinds of reconfigurable multiband architectures with antenna boosters are presented. The first one includes a digitally tunable capacitor, and the second one includes radiofrequency switches. The results show that antenna boosters with reconfigurable architectures feature multiband behavior with very small sizes, compared with other prior-art techniques.

In this paper, a compact reconfigurable tri-band/quad-band monopole antenna is presented. To achieve the multi-band behavior, two right-angled triangles were etched in a conventional rectangular patch, and a partial ground plane is used. Moreover, the proposed multi-band antenna is printed on a low cost FR4 epoxy with compact dimensions of 0.23[Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is calculated at the lowest resonance frequency. To provide frequency agility, a metal strip which acts as PIN diode was embedded in the frame of the modified patch. The tri-band/quad-band antenna performance in terms of reflection coefficient, radiation patterns, peak gain and efficiency was studied. The measured results are consistent with the simulated results for both cases. The simple structure and the compact size of the proposed antenna could make it a good candidate for multi-band wireless applications.

A miniaturized multi-frequency antenna is proposed. The proposed antenna can generate three separate impedance bandwidths to cover all the 2.4/5.8 GHz WLAN/RFID operating bands and the 2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz WiMAX bands. The proposed microstrip-fed antenna mainly consists of a circular ring, four semicircular rings, a rectangle strip, and a defected ground plane. By adding four semicircular rings in the circular ring, the antenna excites two resonant modes and is with miniaturization structure. Because of the introduction of the cambered ground plane with an circular-defect, the third wide band with better impedance matching is obtained. A prototype is experimentally tested, and the measured results show good radiation patterns and enough gains across the operation bands.

A novel dual-wideband double-layer magnetoelectric dipole unidirectional antenna with a modified horned reflector for 2G/3G/LTE applications is proposed. Firstly, a double-layer electric dipole structure is presented to provide a dualwideband, whose folded lower layer mainly serves the lower frequency band while the inclined upper layer works for the upper frequency band. In addition, to reduce the size of the antenna and improve impedance matching, a new feeding structure designed with inverted U-shaped and tapered line is introduced. Finally, a modified horn-shaped reflector, instead of a ground plane, is employed to achieve stable and high gains. The antenna prototype can achieve a bandwidth of 24.4% (790 MHz–1010 MHz) with a stable gain of 7.2 ± 0.6 dBi for the lower band, and a bandwidth of 67.3% (1.38 GHz–2.78 GHz) with a gain of 7.5 ± 0.8 dBi for the upper band covering all the frequency bands for 2G/3G/LTE systems. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first double-layer magnetoelectric dipole antenna proposed. Compared with the existing ME dipole antennas, the proposed antenna, which is completely made of copper, can be easily fabricated at low cost and thus is practicable for 2G/3G/LTE applications.

This paper presents a compact antenna with co-planar waveguide (CPW) feed line for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The proposed antenna consists of a beveled radiating patch with wide rectangular slit at its upper side and a partial ground plane with insertion of symmetrically two-step beveled tapers at its center and sides, which provides a wide operating bandwidth. The antenna is integrated with narrow rectangular-shaped parasitic elements with different lengths placed adjacent to radiant patch to significantly enhance the impedance matching and bandwidth, especially at the upper frequencies. The measured results show an |S11| less than -10 dB bandwidth of 2.5-19.8 GHz with 155% fractional bandwidth. Simulation results are in good agreement with experimental measurements, which exhibits the validity of the proposed design approach. Moreover, the proposed CPW-fed antenna shows omnidirectional radiation patterns with stable gain within the operational range. The proposed compact antenna with low profile, light weight, large frequency bandwidth, ease of fabrication and low cost material is suitable for UWB applications.

IEEE 802.11 is one of the most popular wireless technologies in recent days. Due to easiness of adaption and relatively low cost the demand for IEEE 802.11 devices is increasing exponentially. IEEE works in two bands 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, these bands are known as ISM band. The unlicensed bands are managed by authority which set simple rules to follow when using unlicensed bands, the rules includes requirements as maximum power, out-of-band emissions control as well as interference mitigation. However these rules became outdated as IEEE 802.11 technology is emerging and evolving in hours the rules aren’t well suited for current capabilities of IEEE 802.11 devices. In this article we present game theory based algorithm for IEEE 802.11 wireless devices, we will show that by using game theory it’s possible to achieve better usage of unlicensed spectrum as well as partially decline CSMA/CA. Finally by using this approach we might relax the currently applied maximum power rules for ISM bands, which enable IEEE 802.11 to work on longer distance and have better propagation characteristics. Lengvai pritaikoma ir panaudojama įvairiuose sprendimuose IEEE 802.11 technologija tapo viena populiariausių bevielių technologijų. IEEE 802.11 įrenginiai veikia nelicencijuotais 5 GHz ir 2,4 GHz dažniais – pramonės, mokslo ir medicinos dažnių ruože (angl. Industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio bands). Šiam dažnių ruožui taikomos supaprastintos taisyklės, nurodančios, kad įrenginiai, veikiantys ISM dažniais, turi atitikti tik maksimalią signalo perdavimo galią ir interferencijos triukšmus bei neviršyti triukšmo normos už dažnių ruožo ribų. Tobulėjant IEEE 802.11 protokolo įrangai, šios taisyklės tapo nelanksčios ir neatitinka dabartinių įrenginių galimybių. Straipsnyje pristatomas naujas IEEE 802.11 įrenginių kanalo prieigos metodas, pagrįstas žaidimų teorija. Parodoma, kad taikant šį metodą galima pagerinti spektro panaudojimo efektyvumą bei kartu iš dalies atsisakyti dabar egzistuojančio CSMA/CA mechanizmo IEEE 802.11 įrenginiuose. Taikant efektyvesnį kanalo prieigos metodą atsiranda galimybė laikytis lankstesnių siųstuvo galių taisyklių ir taip padidinti skvarbą uždarose patalpose bei įrangos veikimo nuotolį.

Abstract In this paper, two kinds of dual-band metamaterial absorbers (MMAs) with stable absorption performance based on fractal structures are proposed. As the key feature, with the increase in fractal order, the fractal MMAs can reduce the weight while keeping the absorption performance. The multi-band absorption property is analyzed by multiple L-C resonances generated by the fractal structure. By virtue of good impedance matching characteristics and the synergy of the circuit and electromagnetic resonance, effective and stable microwave absorption is readily achieved. Finally, two prototypes are fabricated for demonstration, and the measurement result is consistent well with the simulation one. As expected, the proposed fractal MMAs have the advantage of low-cost, light-weight, and dual-effective absorption bands, and have great potential in the application of multi-band radar stealth.

In this paper, a miniaturized coaxial feed curved-slotted microstrip patch antenna over a fractalized uniplanar compact electromagnetic bandgap (F-UC-EBG) ground plane is proposed and investigated. Compact size is achieved by cutting the curved slots along the orthogonal directions of the patch radiator. The curved-slotted microstrip patch antenna is 38.30% miniaturized as compared with the conventional microstrip patch antenna resonating at 2.38 GHz. Furthermore, the ordinary ground plane of the curved slotted patch antenna is replaced by the F-UC-EBG ground plane. Due to the slow wave phenomenon created in the F-UC-EBG structure and the better impedance matching at the lower frequency further miniaturization and improved performance are obtained. The proposed antenna shows 74.76% miniaturization as compared with the conventional microstrip patch antenna resonating at 1.57 GHz and has 2.61% 10-dB fractional bandwidth, 1.49 dB gain, and 81.59% radiation efficiency. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a low-cost FR4 substrate having an overall volume of 0.184λ0 × 0.184λ0 × 0.0236λ0 at 1.57 GHz GPS band. The measured and simulated results are in good agreement and predicting appropriateness of the antenna in portable and handheld communication systems for GPS applications.
