Circular polarization (CP) antennas are vital components of modern communication systems. Their design involves handling several requirements such as low reflection and axial ratio (AR) within the frequency range of interest. Small size is an important criterion for antenna mobility which is normally achieved as a by‐product of performance‐oriented modifications of the structure topology. In this work, multiobjective optimization is used in order to identify and analyze design trade‐offs for miniaturized CP antenna including the antenna capability for maintaining small size while retaining acceptable levels of other performance figures. We use a population‐based metaheuristic algorithm to obtain a set of designs which represent the best attainable compromise between the imposed requirements. To maintain a low optimization cost, the algorithm is executed on a cheap approximation model and the results are further corrected to bring them to the EM model accuracy level. Here, the analysis is carried out for a planar CP antenna. Achievable size reduction of the considered structure—while maintaining acceptable performance—is around 11%. Antenna performance in terms of in‐band reflection and AR varies from −14 to −10 dB and from 1.3 to 3 dB, respectively. The numerical results are validated by measurements of fabricated antenna prototypes.

“…The MPAs have been widely used for most of the wireless communication applications. Various superstrate geometries were reported in the literature for the enhancement of MPA characteristics, but their configurations are complex [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. A circular MPA was designed with stubs to generate dual-band for L-band applications [5].…”

In this paper, a dual-band generation in rectangular microstrip patch antenna (RMPA) using a superstrate metal ring has been proposed. In this configuration, a metal ring is placed above the rectangular patch with the support of two dielectric posts. The metal ring behaves as a superstrate layer and resonator for the lower band, the other band is generated by microstrip patch and hence the combined configuration metal ring and patch gives dual-band characteristics. The lower band resonates at 9 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 6.8% and higher band at 11.35 GHz with impedance bandwidth of 3.1%. The co-polarized peak gain values at these frequencies are 8.2 dBi and 10.1 dBi respectively. This may be used in applications like airborne and naval-radar. The prototypes are fabricated using commercially available dielectric substrate (RT-Duriod r = 2.2 and thickness h =1.6 mm). The measured results show good agreement with the simulated predictions.

This article proposes the design of coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed broadband rectenna for radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting application. The rectenna is designed to operate in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency band of 5.8 GHz. For designing the proposed rectenna, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dielectric material was used to design, fabricate the CPW fed slot antenna. It was observed that the proposed antenna exhibits the |S 11 | of −23.43 dB and achieves the peak antenna gain of 8.56 dBi at 5.8 GHz. Secondly, the CPW fed rectifier circuit which comprises of the matching circuit, rectifying unit, and filter was designed. The measured results showed that the |S 11 | of −19 dB and it was perfectly matched with 50 Ω impedance. Finally, the rectenna was designed by integration of antenna with rectifier circuit. The simulated results showed the maximum RF to direct current (DC) conversion efficiency and the output DC voltage of 88% and 445 mV at the load resistance of 1 kΩ. The measured results show the maximum RF to DC conversion efficiency of 73.4% with the output DC voltage of 540 mV at the load resistance of 1 kΩ.
