Performance enhancement of a compact wideband patch antenna array using EBG structures

In this paper, a compact wideband linear microstrip phased array antenna (MPAA) is proposed. To reduce the size of MPAA, a compact wideband aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (MPA) is utilized as array element. Size reduction of the array element is performed through incorporating an interdigital capacitor (IDC) in the patch and a metamaterial (MTM) unit cell close to slot in the ground plane of the antenna. By cutting two vertical slits from the slot, further compacting of the slot in the ground plane of array element is obtained. By this technique dimensions of the patch and slot are reduced by 12.9% and 12.2%, respectively. Furthermore, dimensions of the MPAA are reduced through decreasing the spacing between array elements causing the antenna performance degradation. To overcome this shortage and improve the radiation characteristics of the proposed MPAA, an electromagnetic bandgap structure (EBG) is utilized. The effect of implementing EBG cells on the reflection coefficient of the elements in the MPAA during beam scanning is studied in details. The maximum measured gain, bandwidth and cross-polarization level of the fabricated MPAA are 13.3 dBi, 24.4% and −40 dB, respectively making it a good candidate for monopulse tracking radar applications. The measurement results confirm the simulation results.

A dual-band slotted patch antenna with thin dielectric has been proposed for Ku–band applications. A rectangular patch with pair of bent slots at each side of center has been designed and resonant at 11.95 GHz and 14.25 GHz with respect to ITU standard.

Multi‐stack Technique for a Compact and Wideband EBG Structure in High‐Speed Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards

We propose a novel multi‐stack (MS) technique for a compact and wideband electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure in high‐speed multilayer printed circuit boards. The proposed MS technique efficiently converts planar EBG arrays into a vertical structure, thus substantially miniaturizing the EBG area and reducing the distance between the noise source and the victim. A dispersion method is presented to examine the effects of the MS technique on the stopband characteristics. Enhanced features of the proposed MS‐EBG structure were experimentally verified using test vehicles. It was experimentally demonstrated that the proposed MS‐EBG structure efficiently suppresses the power/ground noise over a wideband frequency range with a shorter port‐to‐port spacing than the unit‐cell length, thus overcoming a limitation of previous EBG structures.

EBG combined isolation slots with a bridge on the ground for noise suppression

In this paper, a coplanar electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure is presented to realise with L-bridge unit cell on the power plane that is combined isolation slots with straight/meander-bridge on the ground plane. The proposed structure with meander-bridge on the ground plane possesses an ultra-wide band gap from 0.22 GHz to 20 GHz with isolation below ?30 dB, which is remarkable better than traditional EBG. The lumped equivalent-circuit model for the structure is presented and analysed to explain the mechanism of the improvement of noise suppression. The cut-off frequency for the proposed structure is obtained by theoretical analysis. It is shown that the increase of equivalent inductance of the bridge influences the cut-off frequency. The meander-bridge on the ground plane is adopted to broaden the stopband and significantly enhance the suppression depth. The validity of the presented structure is verified by the simulation compared to the measurement.

To validate the results, simulations are carried out on CST Microwave Studio and HFSS.     

Power efficient routing trees for ad hoc wireless networks using directional antenna

In ad hoc wireless networks, nodes are typically powered by batteries. Therefore saving energy has become a very important objective, and different algorithms have been proposed to achieve power efficiency during the routing process. Directional antenna has been used to further decrease transmission energy as well as to reduce interference. In this paper, we discuss five algorithms for routing tree construction that take advantage of directional antenna, i.e., Reverse-Cone-Pairwise (RCP), Simple-Linear (SL), Linear-Insertion (LI), Linear-Insertion-Pairwise (LIP), and a traditional approximation algorithm for the travelling salesman problem (TSP). Their performances are compared through a simulation study.     

Compact body-worn MIMO antenna with high port isolation for UWB applications

This article investigates the mutual coupling reduction of a compact two elements wearable ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna. The ground plane of the proposed wearable MIMO antenna structure consists of three connected square ring-shaped stubs and two rectangular slots of narrow height. These ground stubs and slots minimize the mutual coupling effect between antennas and provide high isolation. The suggested MIMO antenna functions from the 1.87 to 13.82 GHz frequency spectrum covering WLAN (2.4–2.484 GHz), UWB (3.1–10.6 GHz), and X band (8–12 GHz) with 152.32% fractional bandwidth. It sustains port isolation above 27 dB throughout the 2 to 13.82 GHz frequency band. Inside the whole working frequency band, the suggested antenna offers a tiny envelope correlation coefficient (ECC < 0.098), greater diversity gain (DG > 9.93 dB), minimum channel capacity loss (CCL < 0.32 bits/s/Hz), and slight magnitude variation in mean effective gain of antenna ports (< 0.1 dB). The recommended antenna yields a SAR level below the designated threshold (<1.6 W/kg), affirming its suitability for body-worn applications. The designed MIMO antenna structure has an overall volume of 32 × 48 × 1.5 mm³.     

Time-modulated multi-tone antenna array for wireless information and power transfer

This paper aims to design a multi-tone radiator exploiting harmonic radiation characteristic of time-modulated antenna array for wireless information and power transmission (WIPT) and multi-operational WIPT receiver. The time-modulated linear antenna array (TMLAA) radiating simultaneously at modulating and harmonic frequencies separated in multiple switching periods is utilized as a multi-tone radiating system. TMLAA with suitable power in harmonic bands generates multi-tone radiation by employing an optimized switching sequence. The ON and OFF time instants of the TMLAA are optimized to suppress sidelobe level and enhance sideband level. A population-based optimization algorithm, teaching learning based optimization (TLBO), is employed to optimize the ON and OFF instants of the TMLAA to suppress sidelobe level and enhance sideband level. TLBO is utilized for a 16-element TMLAA with minimizing cost function to achieve the above objectives. The 16-element TMLAA with optimized switching radiates multi-tone beams with a minimum of 5 dB peak power difference exploited as WIPT. The purpose of multi-operation is accomplished by utilizing the Wilkinson power divider in the receiver system; its power dividing capability is analyzed using applied wave research (AWR). A voltage doubler type rectifier is modeled for DC generation and is tested using AWR. The DC generating capability is tested for fixed power available at various frequencies, and the fixed desired frequency with various available power levels is tested. The results show that the designed circuitry provides a maximum of 80% power conversion efficiency (PCE).     

A compact triple-band dual-element MIMO antenna with high port-to-port isolation for wireless applications

In this literature, a compact planar triple-band multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna with two monopole elements is presented. Each element includes a defective complementary open-loop resonator (COLR), two slots on both sides of the feedline, two stepped stubs and a monopole ground plane. This structure operates in the frequency bands of 2.22–2.54 GHz, 3.14–3.9 GHz and 5.3–5.7 GHz for WiFi, WiMAX and WLAN applications, respectively. The antenna is not based on a common ground plane, so antenna is low cost and compact. High measured isolation is achieved which is better than 34 dB in all operating bands without using additional decoupling structure. An equivalent circuit model is proposed to investigate the behaviour of the antenna. The envelope correlation coefficient of antenna is less than 0.001 and diversity gain is about 10. The proposed MIMO antenna is fabricated and there is a good agreement between the experimental measurements with the simulation results.     

A framework for post-disaster communication using wireless ad hoc networks

Disaster management system requires timely delivery of large volumes of accurate messages so that an appropriate decision can be made to minimize the severity. When a disaster strikes, most of the infrastructure for communication gets uprooted. As a result, communication gets hampered. A well designed Internet of things (IoT) can play a significant role in the post-disaster scenario to minimize the losses, and save the precious lives of animals and human beings. In this paper, we have proposed a framework for post-disaster communication using wireless ad hoc networks. The framework includes: (i) a multi-channel MAC protocol to improve the network throughput, (ii) an energy aware multi-path routing to overcome the higher energy depletion rate at nodes associated with single shortest path routing, and (iii) a distributed topology aware scheme to minimize the transmission power. Above proposals, taken together intend to increase the network throughput, reduce the end-to-end delay, and enhance the network lifetime of an ad hoc network deployed for disaster response. A multi-channel MAC protocol permits the transmission from hidden and exposed nodes without interfering with the on-going transmission. We have compared the proposed framework with an existing scheme called Distressnet [1]. Simulation results show that the proposed framework achieves higher throughput, lower end-to-end delay, and an increased network longevity.
