Design of a wideband miniature dielectric-filled waveguide antennafor collision-avoidance radar

This article presents a theoretical and experimental study of the design of a miniaturized wideband dielectric-filled waveguide (DFW) antenna. The operational frequency is X band, i.e., 9.0⩽f⩽10.5 GHz. The desired bandwidth is 1.5 GHz. The antenna uses an air-gap matching network to reduce its high aperture reflection.

The antenna is designed to have -3 dB beamwidths of 60° and 100° for the E- and H-plane patterns, respectively. An input reflection of less than -10 dB for the desired bandwidth is observed. The gain of the antenna is 7 dBi. A cross-polar level of less than -25 dB is achieved. This article discusses the mathematical model for input reflection, the design scenarios, and the experimental results

利用两个工作在不同频率的圆环型谐振式反射器设计了一款小型化、低剖面的"双频（UHF/S）辐射"宽带双定向蝶形天线.谐振式反射器在很宽的频带内具有"同相反射"的特点且无需周期结构,因此作为天线反射板时与天线间的距离远小于λ/4且面积较小.两个反射器大小不同且分别置于蝶形天线的上方和下方.虽然这两个反射器分别位于另一反射器的辐射（反射）方向上,但它们不会阻止彼此的辐射,因此所提出的天线在工作频带的UHF低频段与S高频段分别向+z轴与-z轴辐射.所设计的蝶形天线采用微带线从侧边馈电,避免了从天线背面馈电可能对天线辐射特性的影响.虽然该天线使用了上下两层反射器,其整体尺寸仅为0.45λ×0.4λ×0.2λ.天线的阻抗带宽超过100%,低频和高频的相对定向带宽（前后比> 5 dB）分别为58%和41.6%,具有良好的双频双定向性.

A modified contour Integral analysis for Sierpinski fractal carpet antennas with and without electromagnetic band gap ground plane

A modified contour integral method coupled with segmentation method has been used, for the first time, to analyze both the Sierpinski fractal carpet (SFC) antennas of different orders and an SFC antenna with electromagnetic band gap (EBG) ground plane. The close agreement between the calculated and measured results for resonant frequencies and input return losses indicates that this technique can be used to accurately predict the impedance characteristic. A novel stacked microstrip Sierpinski carpet fractal antenna using the EBG ground plane is also presented. Comparing to an ordinary microstrip fractal antenna, which has a maximum bandwidth of approximately 2%, the proposed antenna has a higher input impedance bandwidth of nearly 9%. The radiation patterns of the proposed antenna are improved due to the removal of unwanted radiation caused by the surface wave. The experimental measurement results of the proposed antenna are presented in this paper.

Design Considerations on the Minimum Size of Broadband Antennas for UWB Applications

The practical realization of Chu's minimum-sized antenna is investigated using self-complementary antennas. Rigorous bandwidth formulas for broadband antennas are derived for broadband antennas based on Chu's fundamental mode equivalent circuit. By comparing input impedances and radiation patterns, the fabricated self-complementary antenna used for Japan's ultra-wideband higher band (7.25-10.25 GHz) is found approximated by the minimum-sized antenna. Using the rigorous bandwidth formulas above, the fabricated antenna is shown to be smaller than the minimum-sized antenna. This breakthrough is achieved by using a more complicated matching circuit for broadband antennas instead of the single-stage inductor used in bandwidth estimation with the Q factor.

Measurement and analysis of miniature multilayer patch antenna

Although the microstrip patch antenna has a number of advantages such as low-cost and light weight, its physical size is quite large at low microwave frequencies. The designs of multilayer miniature patch antennas with coaxial feed are presented. The first design is a rectangular two-layer patch antenna. Measured results and the results of a preliminary analysis are presented. The projection area of the two-layer patch antenna is kept the same as the single-layer rectangular patch antenna. The resonant frequency of the two-layer antenna is reduced by 50% and has bandwidth of 5%, which is wider than the single-layer rectangular patch antenna. In the second design, the upper patch is cut into a bow-tie shape. This results in a 60% reduction in resonant frequency and a 12% bandwidth. Both the two-layer rectangular and the two-layer bow-tie antennas have good radiation patterns, with cross-polarization level lower than the copolarization level by more than 20 dB     

Experimental Confirmation of Design Techniques for Effective Bow-Tie Antenna Lengths at THz Frequencies

We present on the relationship between the bow-tie antenna length and its THz spectral emission response. Three well-known approaches for predicting accurate antenna length for a given central frequency were utilized and their validity was experimentally tested. It is shown that the simple quasi-static approach compare to other approximations is valid for frequencies up to ~1.5 THz. The bow-tie THz photoconcudtive (PC) emitter designed using this approximation exhibits THz radiation having the most accurate central frequency compared to the design frequency. Interestingly, the THz PC emitter utilized from this design technique also possesses the optimum radiation bandwidth.
