Ultrawideband Printed Elliptical Monopole Antennas

Parametric study of ultrawideband printed elliptical monopole antennas have been presented. Design curve for the length of the feed transmission line for various lower band edge frequencies has been generated. Variation of bandwidth with ellipticity ratio of these configurations has also been studied. Experiments have been performed to measure bandwidth and radiation patterns of these configurations, which tally well with simulated results. The elliptical configuration with ellipticity ratio of 1.1 gives ultrawide impedance bandwidth ratio of 12.4:1 as compared to 10.2:1 of the circular monopole antenna. This antenna introduces minimum ringing and distortion/dispersion of the pulse in time domain

Design and Characterization of Purely Textile Patch Antennas

In this paper, we present four purely textile patch antennas for Bluetooth applications in wearable computing using the frequency range around 2.4 GHz. The textile materials and the planar antenna shape provide a smooth integration into clothing while preserving the typical properties of textiles. The four antennas differ in the deployed materials and in the antenna polarization, but all of them feature a microstrip line as antenna feed. We have developed a manufacturing process that guarantees unaffected electrical behavior of the individual materials when composed to an antenna. Thus, the conductive textiles possess a sheet resistance of less than 1Omega/squarein order to keep losses at a minimum. The process also satisfies our requirements in terms of accuracy meeting the Bluetooth specifications. Our investigations not only characterize the performance of the antennas in planar shape, but also under defined bending conditions that resemble those of a worn garment. We show that the antennas can withstand clothing bends down to a radius of 37.5 mm without violating specifications

Low-Cost Broadband Circularly Polarized Printed Antennas and Array

This paper presents the design, simulation, and measurements of two low-cost broadband circularly polarized (CP) printed antennas: an element and an array at 2 GHz. To realize the broadband circularly polarized antenna element, a circular microstrip patch is electromagnetically coupled by crossed slots cut in the ground plane, which is fed by an L-shaped microstrip feed. Two orthogonal modes in the patch are excited by using the crossed slots, and a single L-shaped feed provides a 90deg phase shift between two orthogonal slots. The antenna element achieves a 9.6% bandwidth for an axial ratio (AR) below 3 dB and a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) below 1.5. To further improve the performance, a sequentially rotated feed network is designed for a 2 times 2 array. The axial ratio value of the array is below 3 dB within a 27.2% bandwidth, from 1.75 GHz to 2.3 GHz. The return loss is above 10 dB within a 41% bandwidth, from 1.62 GHz to 2.45 GHz. Details of the proposed antenna element and the array design are described, and both the simulation and the experimental results are presented and discussed.

Microstrip Patch Antennas on Tunable Electromagnetic Band-Gap Substrates

A tunable metamaterial in integrated circuit structures is investigated through an example of a microstrip patch antenna on a mushroom-type electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure. The patch antenna is designed as a half-wavelength resonator of an EBG loaded microstrip transmission line. The operating frequency of a patch antenna can be switched and controlled dynamically by loading diode switches in between vias and the ground plane. When the switches are on, the EBG surface is short to the ground and is at its on-state; while when the switches are turned off, the EBG surface is dc open and is at its off-state. It is found that the resulting patch antenna in-band resonant frequencies are very different at these two states. Antenna dual-band frequencies, gain, efficiency, and radiation patterns are characterized. The designed switchable EBG-patch antenna is fabricated and tested in these two states. The measurement is found in good agreement with simulation. An example is also given for the case of selected switches within the EBG elements to tune dynamically the resonant frequency.

The Characteristics of Iris-Fed Millimeter-Wave Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antennas

The fabrication of various iris-fed millimeter-wave rectangular microstrip patch antennas is described. A mathematical model is proposed to describe the iris-fed antenna. An iris having 15 percent of the area of the patch is used to couple energy into the antenna. Resonance of the antenna is observed to be insensitive to the size of the iris for irises up to 115 percent of the size of the patch. A study is also made of the coupling to the antenna as a function of position of the iris with respect to the transverse plane of the waveguide, the iris always being centered with respect to the patch. In general, the antenna has a VSWR in the waveguide feed of roughly 5:1 at resonance, except for the fully open waveguide which gives rise to a VSWR of 2.9:1 at resonance. Far-field antenna power patterns are observed to be quite broad with H-plane beamwidths about 130°. Maximum antenna gain observed was 4.5 dB relative to an isotropic source (dBi), with 2 dBi typical. An initial study is made of the microstrip patch antenna fed from a longitudinal waveguide wall. Results indicate that this feed structure is likely to prove valuable for microstrip patch antennas, with coupling at least as good as for the transverse-fed patch, added to the possibility of feeding multiple patches from a single waveguide.     

Graphene Microstrip Patch Ultrawide Band Antennas for THz Communications

Future generation local communication systems will need to employ THz frequency bands capable of transferring sizable amounts of data. Current THz technology via electrical excitation is limited by the upper limits of device cutoff frequencies and by the lower limits of optical transitions in quantum confined structures. Current metallic THz antennas require high power to overcome scattering losses and tend to have low antenna efficiency. It is shown here via calculation and simulation that graphene can sustain electromagnetic propagation at THz frequencies via engineering the intra‐ and interband contributions to the dynamical conductivity to produce a variable surface impedance microstrip antenna with a several hundred GHz bandwidth. The optimization of a circular graphene microstrip patch antenna on silicon with an optimized return loss of ?26 dB, a ?10 dB bandwidth of 504 GHz, and an antenna efficiency of ?3.4 dB operating at a frequency of 2 THz is reported. An improved antenna efficiency of ?0.36 dB can be found at 3.5 THz but is accompanied by a lower bandwidth of about 200 GHz. Such large bandwidths and antenna efficiencies offer significant hope for graphene‐based flexible directional antennas that can be employed for future THz local device‐to‐device communications.

Experimental results are given and additional applications are described.

Investigation of Patch Antennas Based on Embedded Multiple PBG Structure

The method of finite-difference time domain was used, and characteristics of the patch antenna based on drilling air holes and embedding a metal boundary in the substrate were studied. The results indicate that the surface waves which propagate along the surface of the substrate can be suppressed by the multiple photonic band-gap structure because of its effect of forbidden band, that it can radiate most of electromagnetic waves' energy in the substrate significantly, and that it has lower return loss (S11) compared to the conventional patch antennas. Thus, a high gain is attained, its performance is improved. Due to these advantages, the extending use of photonic crystal patch antennas in the areas of mobile communication, satellite communication, aviation, etc., is expected.
