Effect of various meandering slots in rectangular microstrip antenna ground plane for compact broadband operation

The study of the effect of various meandering slots in the rectangular microstrip antenna ground plane for compact broadband operation is presented. The rectangular microstrip antenna is meandered using three different types of ground plane meandering slots: (a) smaller meandering slots, (b) longer meandering slots, and (c) open-end meandering slots, and is studied experimentally and compared. In these meandering slots, the open-end meandering slot is proved to be effective in significantly enhancing the bandwidth of a compact meandered antenna. Using open-end meandering slots in the ground plane, an extreme compactness of 83% with a broad bandwidth of 38.3% is obtained.     

W-shaped enhanced-bandwidth patch antenna for wireless communication

In this paper a novel form of the familiar E-shaped patch antenna is presented. In the presented approach, by using the genetic algorithm (GA) based on fuzzy decision-making, some modifications have been implemented to the incorporated slots which lead to even more enhancement in the antenna bandwidth. The MOM (Method of Moment) is employed for analysis at the frequency band of 1.8GHz–2.6GHz by the optimization parameters of supply locations and slot dimensions. In the implemented fuzzy system, inputs are parameters like population, and outputs are parameters like recombination to produce the next generation. Fuzzy inference system (FIS) is used for the control of GA parameters. The design is also optimized by successive iterations of a computer-aided analysis package and experimental modifications. Prototype antenna, resonating at wireless communication frequencies of 1.88 and 2.37 GHz, has been constructed and experimental results are in relatively good agreement with the analysis. Dimensions of the modified slots for bandwidth enhancement, while maintaining good radiation characteristics, have been determined and the obtained antenna bandwidth of 36.7% is larger than that of a corresponding unslotted rectangular microstrip antenna or a conventional E-Shaped patch antenna. Details of the antenna design approach and experimental results are presented and discussed.

Improved coupling for aperture coupled microstrip antennas

An aperture shape that gives significantly improved coupling for an aperture coupled microstrip antenna is described. This 'dogbone' aperture consists of the usual rectangular slot augmented with loading slots at each end. Measured data show an increase of more than three for the resonant input impedance of an antenna using the dogbone-shaped aperture, as compared with the input impedance of the same antenna with a rectangular slot of the same overall length. The field distributions of both slots are also measured, and compared.<>

Analysis and design of broad-band single-layer rectangular U-slot microstrip patch antennas

A wide operating bandwidth for a single-layer coaxially fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna can be obtained by cutting a U-shaped slot on the patch. This antenna structure has recently been found experimentally to provide impedance bandwidths of 10%-40%, even with nonair substrates. However, design rules for this antenna have not yet been presented. This paper develops principle design procedures through examination of the structure's multiple resonant frequencies as well as the radiation and impedance properties of different antenna geometries. The approximate design rules are derived by analysis of former experiments, method of moments (MoM) simulations, and measurement results. Simulations and measurements of several antennas designed using these new rules are presented and directions for further study are discussed.     

Ultra-Wideband Slot Antenna with Rejection of WLAN and ITU Bands Using Protruded Strip Resonators

In this paper, a different method for designing a new slot antenna with dual band-notched characteristic for ultra-wideband applications is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a square-ring radiating stub with an inverted T-shaped strip protruded inside the ring, a feed-line with an E-shaped strip protruded inside the rectangular slot, and a ground plane with a pair of L-shaped strips protruded inside the extra rectangular slot. In this study, by using a a pair of L-shaped strips protruded inside the slot in the ground plane, additional resonance is excited and hence much wider impedance bandwidth can be produced. By using this modified structure in the ground plane, the antenna provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 130 % (3.01–15.35 GHz). To generate a single band-notched function, we convert a square radiating patch to a square-ring with an inverted T-shaped strip. Finally, by adding a rectangular slot with a protruded E-shaped strip in the microstrip feed line, a dual band-notched function is achieved. The measured results reveal that the presented dual band-notched slot antenna offers a very wide bandwidth with two notched bands, covering all the 5–6 GHz wireless local area network, 8–8.5 GHz international telecommunication union bands.
