Semi fractal three leaf clover‐shaped CPW antenna for triple band operation

This article presents a unique and compact coplanar waveguide (CPW) antenna that exhibits triband operation with circular polarization. The single antenna was designed to operate simultaneously in the following bands: WiMAX (3.3–3.6 GHz), wireless local area network (WLAN) (5.15–5.825 GHz), ITS (5.795–6.400 GHz), and ITU‐R (7.725–8.5 GHz). The realization of the triband antenna was achieved by using two semi fractal ring patches resembling the shape of a three leaf clover, and by introducing a pair of symmetrical L‐shaped slits in its ground plane. The antenna's physical parameters were investigated to fully understand their affect on the antenna's performance. The salient parameters obtained from this analysis enabled the optimization of the antenna's overall characteristics. The design concept was confirmed by fabricating the antenna prototype and measuring its characteristics. The proposed antenna has dimensions of 20 × 20 × 1 mm³. Measured results show the antenna exhibits circular polarization in WiMAX and ITU‐R bands, and linear polarization in the WLAN band. The antenna radiates omnidirectionally in the H‐plane, and approximately bidirectionally in the E‐plane. In addition, the antenna presents stable gain over the triband. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于HFSS的漏波长槽波导天线的口径场诊断

介绍HFSS在漏波长槽波导天线口径场诊断中的应用，通过合理的子网格设置仿真得到辐射长槽上精确的口径场。采用提取的口径场分布反演得到天线远场方向图，将其与仿真得到的方向图相比，非常吻合，证明这种诊断方法正确有效。根据口径场诊断结果，对天线结构进行调整优化，达到明显的优化效果，天线副瓣明显降低，负载吸收率与理论设计非常吻合。
