Ultra-wideband antipodal slot antenna with improved radiation performance

A novel antipodal wide-slot antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is proposed and studied in detail. The antenna is fed by a microstrip line terminated with a rectangular tuning patch. An antipodal structure is employed to improve the radiation performances. The return losses, surface E-field, current distribution, radiation patterns and gains of the antenna are numerically and experimentally investigated. Results show that the proposed antipodal antenna has an impedance bandwidth from 0.79 to 4.0?GHz, which is about 5:1. Compared with conventional rectangular wide-slot antenna, more stable radiation pattern with lower cross-polarisation level and flatter gain variation over a 3:1 bandwidth can be obtained. Thus, the proposed antenna should be more suitable for future UWB-multiple-input multiple-output applications using polarisation diversity than conventional UWB rectangular slot antennas.     

One- and two-dimensional antenna arrays for microwave wireless power transfer (MWPT) systems and dual-antenna transceivers

In this work, we demonstrate novel one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) antenna arrays for both microwave wireless power transfer (MWPT) systems and dual-antenna transceivers. The antenna array can be used as the MWPT receiving antenna of an integrated MWPT and Bluetooth (BLE) communication module (MWPT-BLE module) for smart CNC (computer numerical control) spindle incorporated with the cloud computing system SkyMars. The 2D antenna array has n rows of 1 × m 1D array, and each array is composed of multiple (m) differential feeding antenna elements. Each differential feeding antenna element is a differential feeding structure with a microstrip antenna stripe. The stripe length is shorter than one wavelength to minimise the antenna area and to prevent being excited to a high-order mode. That is, the differential feeding antenna element can suppress the even mode. The mutual coupling between the antenna elements can be suppressed, and the isolation between the receiver and the transmitter can be enhanced. An inclination angle of the main beam aligns with the broadside, and the main beam is further concentrated and shrunk at the elevation direction. Moreover, if more differential feeding antenna elements are used, antenna gain and isolation can be further enhanced. The excellent performance of the proposed antenna arrays indicates that they are suitable for both MWPT systems and dual-antenna transceivers.     

Circularly Polarized Linear Array Antenna Using a Dielectric Image Line

A new circularly polarized antenna using a dielectric image line is proposed. This antenna is composed of a slotted conductive plane and a rectangular dielectric rod. This paper describes the design of and experimental results achieved with the circularly polarized array antenna fed by a dielectric image line. The fundemental characteristics of the image line are also presented. Since this line's losses are far lower than the microstrip line losses in the millimeter wavebands, antenna feed line losses expect to be also very low. Bandwidth within the 2-dB axial ratio was more than 7 percent, and the angle range within the same ratio was more than +-7.8 degrees at 29.5 GHz. This antenna is far superior to the microstrip line feed array antenna in the millimeter wavebands.

Conceptual Performance of a Satellite Borne, Wide Swath Synthetic Aperture Radar

A satellite borne synthetic aperture radar can image a wide swath in the order of 700 km with one-look 100-m resolution. If the design meets the ambiguity constraints at the far edge of the swath, the maximum swath width is independent of both radar wavelength and shape of the physical antenna aperture. The antenna pattern can be a pencil beam scanned in the elevation plane, or a fan beam formed by a long antenna. The scanning pencil beam antenna may be a phased array or multiple-feed reflector which may be more practical than a long antenna to image a wide swath. Design performance trade computations are presented involving resolution, swath width, antenna area, average transmitter power and digital data rate.     

Characteristics of a Metal-Backed Loop Antenna and its Application to a High-Frequency RFID Smart Shelf

In this paper, a metal-backed loop antenna (MBLA) at high frequency (HF) is characterized and applied to a radio-frequency identification (RFID) smart-shelf system. The antenna is investigated in terms of impedance matching, resonant frequency, magnetic-field intensity/field distribution, quality factor, and detection range. The study shows that the magnetic-field distribution of the metal-backed loop antenna can be effectively controlled by changing the size as well as the separation of the backing metal plate. As a result, the detection range of an RFID system using such an antenna can be controlled. Such a feature offers great promise for the metal-backed loop antenna in applications for RFID smart-shelf systems. For such systems, controlling the coupling zone of the antennas is vital for constraining the interference between the antennas in adjacent tiers of the shelves, in order to achieve high system-detection accuracy. In addition, using a metal-backed loop antenna provides more flexibility for RFID smart-shelf-system design and implementation, so that the system is more cost effective.

Miniature PIFA without empty space for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications

A novel miniature planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) design without empty space is presented for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications. The antenna fabricated on an FR4 substrate has an overall size of only 10 (L) x 3 (W) x 3.5 (H) mm³ to be embedded inside the portable devices. By properly adding a shorting pin and etching a bent slot, the operating frequency of the antenna can be lowered more flexibly. Moreover, owing to no additional empty space, the circuit routing on the PCB is permitted underneath and around the antenna. The impedance bandwidth of the antenna is about 160 MHz from 2.39 to 2.55 GHz. Good omnidirectional radiation pattern with appreciable gain across the band can be obtained so that the proposed antenna is suitable for Bluetooth and WLAN applications.     

A Double-sided Printed Dipole Array with an Electromagnetic Band-Gap Reflector

Electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures have unique properties in controlling the propagation of electromagnetic wave and have been applied to a wide range of electromagnetic devices design. In this paper, a double-sided printed dipole (DSPD) array backed by an EBG reflector is proposed for achieving a low-profile design as well as gain enhancement. Simulation results show that a reduction of more than 55% in antenna height can be obtained by placing the DSPD array over an EBG reflector rather than a perfect electric conductor (PEC) reflector. And the obtained gain of the antenna with an EBG reflector is about 1.9 dB higher than that with a PEC reflector at the operating frequency 2.77 GHz. The EBG reflector can be utilized to reduce a cavity-backed antenna height and enhance the antenna radiation efficiency. The design has a good potential application to antenna arrays with more elements in wireless communication.     

Detection Probability Estimation of Directional Antennas and Omni-Directional Antennas

This paper studies the problem of detection of directional antennas and omni-directional antennas by hostile detection systems. We present a model for calculating the probability of detecting a transmitter at arbitrary location around the transmitter. Our study shows that, if a directional antenna employs the same transmit power as an omni-directional antenna, the directional antenna can not decrease the probability of being detected. In some scenarios, a directional antenna is more likely to be detected than an omni-directional antenna. However, if a directional antenna provides the same Effective Isotropic Radiated Power in the direction of the receiver as an omni-directional antenna, the transmit power needed by a directional antenna to send data is much less than that of an omni-directional antenna. In this scenario, the probability of detecting a directional antenna is reduced by over 90%. This reveals that directional antennas can be used to build a secure path to send data at low probability of being detected by adversaries.     

Low-Profile Air-Filled Antenna for Next Generation Wireless Systems

In this study, a novel design of insensitive antenna with improved radiation performance is designed and investigated. The antenna exhibits excellent performance in terms of impedance-matching, radiation and total efficiencies, even though it is designed and fabricated using high loss substrate (FR) with compact dimension. An L-shaped metal-ring resonator has been used as a main resonator of the antenna to operate at 18.5 GHz. In order to improve the antenna performance, a part of substrate with L-shaped configuration has been removed and a metal ring structure is inserted. By using this technique, we can improve the efficiency characteristic of the antenna and eliminate the effect of high-loss FR-4 substrate. The center frequency of the designed antenna can be controlled by adjusting the values of the antenna parameters. Since the main substrate of the resonator is the air, the antenna is insensitive for different types of antenna substrates. It has the return loss characteristic less than ?10 dB in the frequency range of 17.5–19.5 GHz (more than 10% fractional bandwidth). The antenna has a very compact size with good radiation behavior and could be used in phased array antennas for next generation systems.

Low Profile GALILEO Antenna Using EBG Technology

A dedicated low profile antenna for geodesic applications is presented. This type of antenna requires mitigation of multipath signals to achieve sub-centimeter level of precision. Typically, bulky and heavy choke ring structures have been used to reduce the effects of multipath interference. The antenna presented here consists of a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) patch antenna immersed in an electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) substrate. The EBG substrate reduces the effects of multipath by blocking the propagation of surface waves. The result is an antenna showing good multipath rejection and a stable phase center. The advantage of printed EBG substrates is that they can be realized in a low-weight, low-price, and low-profile fashion. First prototypes have been manufactured and tested, and its performance has been compared to that of a more classical choke ring antenna.
