Development of wideband CPW-fed hexagon-shaped circularly polarized slot antenna for wireless-communications

A hexagonal shaped circularly polarized (CP) wideband slot antenna using multiple stubs has been proposed and investigated. A hexagonal slot is created in the ground plane with tapered sections improving the impedance matching. Two radiators are incorporated in the structure, which is responsible for generating orthogonal degenerate modes; hence, CP radiation is achieved for the proposed antenna. For enhancing the gain of antenna, one radiator is directly connected to feed line and another one embedded in the ground plane. An inverted L-shaped arm is inserted in the slot to enhance and tune the circular polarized behavior. The presented radiator have input reflection coefficient ranges from 5.67 to 8.50 GHz (39.97%) and axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 5.60–8.50 GHz (41.13%). The proposed antenna provides overlapping bandwidths of 5.67–8.50 GHz (39.97%) having average gains of 5.25 dBi within the entire frequency bands. The presented antenna is exceptionally good for the application of mobile and satellite communications.     

Compact coplanar waveguide fed ultra wideband antenna with a notch band characteristic

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with a notch band characteristic is presented for 2.4 GHz and UWB applications. The bandwidth is broadened by embedding two inverted L-shaped slots in the CPW ground and the notch band is achieved by etching a rectangle slot in the CPW ground. The notched band can be controlled by adjusting the length of the rectangle slot and the two inverted L-shaped slots. Experimental and numerical results show that the proposed antenna with compact size of 28 × 21 mm², has an impedance bandwidth range from 2.38 GHz to 12.0 GHz for voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2, expect the notch band frequency 5.0–6.0 GHz for HIPERLAN/2, IEEE 802.11a (5.1–5.9 GHz) and C-band (4.4–5 GHz) for satellite and military applications.

Broadband high-efficiency circularly polarized active antenna and array for RF front-end application

This paper presents a broadband high-efficiency circularly polarized (CP) active integrated antenna, and a broadband CP active array at 2 GHz. To realize the broadband CP antenna, a circular patch is aperture coupled by crossed slots in the ground plane, which are fed by an L-shaped microstrip feed line below the ground. The antenna is designed to serve the functions of both a radiator and a harmonics-terminated load for class-E high-efficiency power-amplifier (PA) integration. The broadband CP active antenna is realized by directly integrating the broadband CP antenna with the class-E PA. It achieves a 9% bandwidth (1.84-2.01 GHz) for axial ratio (AR) below 3 dB, and a 12% bandwidth for power-added efficiency (PAE) over 60%. To form the broadband CP active array, four active antenna elements are sequentially rotated, and each element is directly integrated with broadband class-E PA. A low-cost printed-circuit-board technology is employed in fabrication and a pseudomorphic high electron-mobility transistor is used. A peak drain efficiency of 71.5% for the class-E amplifier is measured at 1.95 GHz. The active array achieves a peak-effective radiated power of 39.7 dBm, and PAE is over 50% within a 22.6% bandwidth (1.72-2.16 GHz). The AR is below 3 dB over a 27% bandwidth (1.72-2.26 GHz).

Circularly-Polarized Wide Slot Antenna Loaded With a Parasitic Patch

A design is described of a broadband circularly-polarized (CP) slot antenna. A conventional annular-ring slot antenna is first analyzed, and it is found that two adjacent CP modes can be simultaneously excited through the proximity coupling of an L-shaped feed line. By tuning the dimensions of this L-shaped feed line, the two CP modes can be coupled together and a broad CP bandwidth is thus formed. The design method is also valid when the inner circular patch of the annular-ring slot antenna is vertically raised from the ground plane. In this case, the original band-limited ring slot antenna is converted into a wide-band structure that is composed of a circular wide slot and a parasitic patch, and consequently the CP bandwidth is further enhanced. For the patch-loaded wide slot antenna, its key parameters are investigated to show how to couple the two CP modes and achieve impedance matching. The effects of the distance between the parasitic patch and wide slot on the CP bandwidth and antenna gain are also presented and discussed in details.

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.

Design of CPW-fed asymmetric slot UWB antenna for wireless application

A compact Ultra-WideBand(UWB) slot antenna is presented in this paper. The slot is modified rectangular in shape and asymmetrically cut in the ground plane. A hexagonal patch with two stepped CoPlanar Waveguide(CPW) feed is used to excite the slot. Wider impedance bandwidth is achieved due to the extra inductive reactance created by the asymmetric slot which neutralizes the capacitive reactance of the hexagonal patch. The measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 11.85 GHz(2.9–14.75 GHz). The radiation patterns of the proposed antenna are obtained and found to be omni-directional in H-plane and bi-directional in E-plane.
