Dual-Polarized Microstrip Patch Planar Array Antennas With Improved Port-to-Port Isolation

A method of preventing the degradation in the isolation between the orthogonal polarization ports caused by beamforming network routing in combined edge/aperture fed dual-polarized microstrip-patch planar array antennas is described. The simulated and measured performance of such planar arrays is demonstrated. Measured port isolations of 50 dB at center frequency, and more than 40 dB over a 4% bandwidth, are achieved. In addition, insight into the physical reasons for the improved port-to-port isolation levels, of the proposed element geometry and beamforming network layout, is obtained through prudent use of the electromagnetic modelling.      

Planar Miniature RFID Antennas Suitable for Integration With Batteries

A class of planar, electrically-small UHF antennas suitable for direct integration with electronic components such as batteries is introduced. The new design approach combines a meander line section and a capacitive strip section. The geometries of the two sections can together be scaled in size over a wide range of planar form factors while still maintaining self-resonance and practically realizable line widths and spacings. No external matching network is required. Moreover, batteries can be mounted above or below the capacitive strip section, significantly reducing the total size of a wireless device. Three designs are demonstrated on printed circuit board at 433 MHz. Measurements show that the antennas provide good gain and excellent bandwidth, omnidirectional radiation patterns, and electrically small size. The results of this work have numerous uses in radiofrequency identification (RFID)     

Multilayer Effects on Microstrip Antennas for Their Integration With Mechanical Structures

The effect of multilayer geometry on microstrip antennas is investigated for the design of antenna-integrated mechanical structure. Changes in the gain of antenna due to the geometry have been determined using a transmission line analogy. Design of high-gain antenna in bandwidth is proposed away from structural resonance. Experiments are done on microstrip antennas covered by superstrates in order to verify high-gain conditions theoretically derived herein. The off-resonant conditions that use practical materials of moderate thickness make it possible to design the antenna-integrated mechanical structure with the perfect integration of high mechanical and electrical performances

Experimental Investigation of a Self-Biased Microstrip Circulator

An experimental investigation of an above-ferromagnetic resonant self-biased hexagonal ferrite circulator is detailed in this paper. The concept of the “region of opportunity” is invoked to establish a relationship between the ferrite's geometry and its $MH$ large-signal data for self-biased operation. This concept is used to design a working three-port nonreciprocal device that will serve as a basis for experimentally ascertaining best case insertion losses (ILs), return losses (RLs), and/or isolations (ISs) for circulator applications. Furthermore, we show that this nonreciprocal device when externally tuned as a circulator exhibits RLs and ISs of better than 15 dB across a narrow band; the ILs are on the order of 1.5 dB within this same band. This IL is correlated to the best case IL. Results confirm the conclusion that a ferrite with $H_{c}=4.0 {hbox{kOe}}$, $4pi M_{s}=4.375 {hbox{kG}}$ , and $Delta H=1.862 {hbox{kOe}}$ is suitable for self-biased circulator applications.

Fully Computer-Aided Synthesis of a Planar Circulator

A planar junction circulator consists, in general, of a three-fold symmetric resonator of arbitrary shape to which three transmission lines are connected. So far, the circulators having disk, triangle, and hexagonal resonators, have been studied in detail, In the analysis of the circuit parameters of circulators, two general methods which were presented in 1977 are used widely. One is based upon a contour-integral solution of the wave equation. In the other approach, the circuit parameters of the junction are expanded in terms of the eigenmodes of the magnetized planar resonator. Since both methods have been applied successfully to various circulators, there is no doubt as to the usefulness of the methods at present.

Analysis of Planar Ultrawideband Antennas With On-Ground Slot Band-Notched Structures

Planar ultrawideband (UWB) antennas with on-ground band-notched structures are studied in this paper. Two different slot resonators, which feature quarter-wavelength and half-wavelength configurations, are embedded into the arc shaped ground plane of the circular disk patch antennas in order to obtain the desired band-rejection around 5.8 GHz. Their principles and characteristics are analyzed and compared in detail providing designers with in-depth understanding and useful design information. By choosing the quarter-wavelength slot resonator, the first spurious stopband can be pushed up to 3 $f _{0}$ ($f _{0}$ stands for the center frequency of the notch) and this antenna retains a super wide working band which spans from 1.62 GHz to 17.43 GHz. Performance in both the frequency domain and time domain for this antenna has been investigated carefully. The transmission response of a transceiving antenna system and their corresponding transient analysis are discussed at the end of this paper.

An Effective NF-FF Transformation Technique With Planar Spiral Scanning Tailored For Quasi-Planar Antennas

An effective probe compensated near-field—far-field transformation technique with planar spiral scanning is developed in this paper. It makes use of an ellipsoidal modelling of the source, instead of the previously adopted spherical one. Such a modelling, tailored for quasi-planar antennas, allows one to consider measurement planes at a distance smaller than one half the antenna maximum size, thus reducing the error related to the truncation of the scanning surface. Moreover, it is quite general, containing the spherical modelling as particular case, and reduces significantly the number of the needed near-field data when dealing with quasi planar antennas. Some numerical tests, assessing the accuracy of the technique and its stability with respect to random errors affecting the data, are reported.
