Theoretical Investigation of the Input Impedance of Gap-Coupled Circular Microstrip Patch Antennas

In this paper, we have explored a simple theoretical input impedance computation technique for the two gap-coupled circular microstrip patch antennas by using circuit theory approach. The frequency characteristics of the input impedance of the two gap-coupled circular microstrip patch antennas with the gap-distance between the feed patch and parasitic patch is analyzed and simulated. The effect of feed location in the feed patch on the input impedance of proposed antenna is also studied. The theoretical results are compared with the simulated results as well as other reported literature. The simulation has been performed by using a method-of-moment based commercially available simulator IE3D.

The analysis of general axially symmetric antennas with a coaxialfeed line by the method of lines

The use of the method of lines in the analysis of various circular antennas-circular patch antennas and various forms of monopoles is proposed and substantiated. The antennas considered are fed by coaxial lines. Impedance/admittance transfer procedures are developed, which allow to calculate the antenna input impedance by a successive transfer from the aperture through the different sections. The described relations are also useful for other applications     

Circular polarised microstrip patch antennas for broadband and dual-band operation

A novel design of microstrip patch antennas for circular polarisation (CP) is proposed. As an example, two CP patch antennas are investigated: a broadband CP patch antenna and a dual-band CP patch antenna. The proposed structure can be achieved by embedding circular holes in the microstrip circular resonator. By changing the size and position of loaded holes, two orthogonal modes are simultaneously excited with equal amplitude and /spl plusmn/90/spl deg/ out of phase. Without any 90/spl deg/ phase-shifter, the proposed CP patch antennas are excited by single feed.     

Integratable wide-band dual polarized antennas with rear field cancellation

Two variations of an integratable coplanar waveguide fed aperture stacked patch antenna are presented, which are capable of generating wideband dual polarized radiation. One of the antennas displays the desired characteristics for reducing polarization loss between an antenna remote unit (ARU) and mobile units at arbitrary angles. The other has a dual input structure and low cross-polarization useful for polarization diversity applications, or it can also produce circular polarization with the addition of a 90/spl deg/ hybrid. Back radiation concerns are addressed with the use of reflector patch elements. Results indicate that the rear directed radiation of the two slot coupled printed antennas mounted on small ground planes can be reduced across a wide bandwidth with the addition of a reflector element.

Comparative study on the mutual coupling between different sized cylindrical dielectric resonators antennas and circular microstrip patch antennas

A systematic comparative study on the mutual coupling (S/sub 21/) between dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) and microstrip patch antennas is presented. The mutual coupling between two cylindrical probe-fed DRAs is studied for different radius to height (a/L) ratios. It is found that the mutual coupling decreases with the radius to height ratio. Comparison between mutual coupling of probe-fed cylindrical DRAs and circular microstrip patch antennas with different dielectric substrates are also studied. The mutual coupling between DRAs is 2 dB stronger than between microstrip patch antennas when the patch is etched on a dielectric substrate of a dielectric constant close to the permittivity of the DRA. The mutual coupling of the circular patch antennas reduces with the dielectric constant of the substrate.     

Analysis of circularly polarized square ring and crossed-strip microstrip antennas

Segmentation technique coupled with cavity model have been used to analyze square ring and crossed-strip microstrip patch antennas for circular polarization. This technique is found to predict the characteristics of antennas correctly, as is evident from the close agreement between the calculated and measured results for resonant frequency, input impedance, radiation patterns, and bandwidth. Square ring antenna has been found to have larger impedance bandwidth and axial ratio bandwidth because of lowerQ. Crossed-strip antenna has larger size and thus fabrication tolerances can be relaxed.

On slot-coupled microstrip antennas and their applications to CPoperation-theory and experiment

A simple theory based on the cavity model is developed to analyze microstrip antennas excited by a slot in the ground plane. By using an equivalent magnetic current source at the feed, the electric field under the patch is obtained in terms of a set of cavity modes. In particular, the loci of the slot feed location for achieving the circular polarization and the input impedance are computed and found to be in excellent agreement with the experimentally measured results. Simple but surprisingly accurate formulas for slot-fed circularly polarized microstrip antennas are derived and compared with those for probe-fed counterparts     

Low-profile design of dual-frequency and dual-polarised triangular microstrip antennas

A single-feed triangular microstrip patch antenna that can be operated at two distinct resonant modes is proposed. The two resonant modes can radiate an omnidirectional dipole-like pattern with linear polarisation and a broadside pattern with circular polarisation, respectively. To achieve the required frequency ratio of the two operating frequency bands, several designs of the proposed antennas with different substrate thickness and patch sizes are studied. In addition, these designs can easily obtain a 50 /spl Omega/ input impedance without any additional matching circuit. Details of the antenna design and obtained performance are presented.

Input Resistance Calculation for Circular Microstrip Antennas Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System

This paper presents a new method based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to calculate the input resistance of circular microstrip patch antennas. The ANFIS is a fuzzy inference system (FIS) implemented in the framework of an adaptive fuzzy neural network. It combines the explicit knowledge representation of FIS with learning power of neural networks. A hybrid learning algorithm based on the least square approach and the backpropagation algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of ANFIS. The input resistance results predicted by ANFIS are in excellent agreement with the experimental results reported elsewhere.     

Calculation of radiation patterns of microstrip antennas oncylindrical bodies of arbitrary cross section

A simplified approach based on reciprocity is presented to calculate the radiation patterns of microstrip patch antennas or arrays on a cylindrical body having an arbitrary cross section. In this approach, the microstrip patch antennas are characterized using the finite-element method, and their radiation patterns are then calculated using a two-dimensional method of moments in conjunction with the reciprocity theorem. The validity of the calculation is demonstrated by comparison with measured data for a microstrip patch antenna on a circular cylinder attached to a plate. Other numerical examples are also presented to show the capability of the method as well as various effects of the host cylinder on radiation patterns     

Green's function calculations on circular microstrip patch antennas

Green's function calculations have been applied to solve the radiation problem of circular microstrip patch antennas. The patch is fed by either a microstrip line or a coax line to be approximated as delta-function-like sources. The resultant Galerkin elements involve only one-fold Sommerfeld-type integrals. The resonant frequency, impedance, and far-field pattern have thus been calculated, which compared nicely with measurements

Analysis and design of L-probe proximity fed-patch antennas

In this paper, the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is employed to analyze L-probe proximity-fed rectangular patch antennas. Numerical results for the input impedance, co- and cross-polarization radiation patterns are presented and compared with the measurements. Good agreement between the computed and measured results is obtained. The effects of geometric parameters on the characteristics of the L-probe patch antenna are extensively studied. For design purposes, the variation of input impedance at resonance with different geometric parameters is plotted on a Smith chart. Mutual coupling between two L-probe patch antennas is also investigated     

Circularly polarized aperture-coupled circular microstrip patchantennas for L-band applications

Circularly polarized aperture-coupled circular microstrip patch antennas are investigated with the goal of obtaining an 8% impedance and ellipticity bandwidth in the L-band. Three varieties-a single-feed patch with perturbation segments, a single-feed stacked patch with perturbation segments, and a dual-feed patch with a 3-dB branch line coupler as an external polarizer are considered to obtain the required performance. All the three investigated patch configurations meet the impedance bandwidth requirement, but only two varieties: the single-feed stacked patch and the dual-feed patch meet the required ellipticity bandwidth. These antennas feature more than 9-dBi gain. They use low-cost substrates and foam for bandwidth enhancement and, hence, they are attractive for applications where the production cost is of importance
