Compact printed antenna with novel radiating element for UWB applications

Abstract

This paper presents a very compact printed antenna with simple and novel radiator for Ultra-Wideband applications. The proposed antenna is fed by a coplanar waveguide feed line to achieve wide bandwidth performance. The impedance bandwidth of the antenna is from 2.88 to 12.82 GHz for which S 11 < −10 dB, which constitutes about 127%. The total size of the fabricated antenna is 18 × 27 × 0.787 mm 3 . The radiation patterns of the antenna are measured and presented. Also the effects of dimensional parameters on the performance of the antenna are investigated through a parametric study. The agreement obtained between the measured and simulated results is excellent.

Dual-port traveling-wave frequency-scanned patch array antenna for E-band vehicle sensing and imaging applications

“…In the past few years, microstrip patch array antennas have drown significant attention among many researches owing to the rapid development of wireless and mobile communication [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. They have many applications in wireless communication, radar, sensing and imaging systems due to their light weight, low profile and price, flexible to design and fabricate, and high robustness.…”

Wideband Balanced Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna With Enhanced Radiation Parameters

“…In recent years, many studies on UWB antenna design have been published, including planar monopole antennas [2], printed antenna [3], and leaky lens antenna [4], etc. Among the reported wideband antennas, the Vivaldi antenna is often preferred for its satisfactory radiation characteristics and simple structure…”
