“…The additional space required, gain enhancement, structure, and cost of the proposed antenna (dielectric constant ε r = 7.75) are compared with previously reported gain enhancement antennas in Table 2. In Table 2, the additional space required for the proposed antenna is reduced by up to 97.8% of [3,[6][7][8][9][10][11], 96.3% of [2,5], 95.6% of [1], and 57.7% of [4]. The gain enhancement of the proposed antenna is more than 0.9 dB of [2] and 0.77 dB of [4].…”

“…To overcome the lowgain characteristics of circuit antennas, several gain enhancement methods have been proposed [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The design proposed by [1] forces constructive interference between the incident and reflected fields inside the substrate.…”

“…Partially reflecting surface (PRS) antennas, which have attracted considerable interest in recent years, exhibit the advantage of high directivity and typically consist of a PRS material placed at approximately half a wavelength above a ground plane containing a source antenna. Numerous PRS antennas have been examined for enhancing gain [6][7][8][9][10][11]. In [6], thin, single-dielectricslab PRSs with printed patterns on both sides were proposed for minimizing the PRS thickness and for simplifying fabrication, and PRSs exhibiting positive reflection phase gradients were investigated to design wideband, low-profile, electromagnetic band gap (EBG) resonator antennas.…”

“…High-gain PRS antennas exhibiting a reconfigurable operating frequency were presented in [7]. In [8], high-gain planar antennas were investigated by placing an optimized PRS in front of a waveguide aperture on a ground plane. Several other PRS antennas have been also proposed to enhance gain [9][10][11].…”

Abstract-This paper proposes a planar monopole antenna design for achieving gain enhancement. The desired radiation pattern is achieved straightforwardly by employing a detached glass slab and placing a reflected metal slab after the glass slab onto the antenna structure. Geometrical parameters were examined to optimize the performance of the proposed antenna. Such a configuration causes constructive interference between the incident and reflected fields. The radiation patterns can be adjusted using the thickness of the glass slab and dielectric constants. The radiated fields are redistributed because of the inclusion of the glass slab, which has a permittivity of ε r = 7.75 and a thickness of h = 1 mm. Consequently, the planar monopole gain achieved using the glass slab and reflected metal slab increases to approximately 5 dBi, while the antenna resonant frequency remains almost unchanged at nearly 14% of impedance bandwidth. The results obtained for the directional pattern, return loss, gain, and radiation efficiency of the proposed antenna were analyzed. The volume of the antenna radiation area and ground plane is 3×32×52 mm 3 . Detailed simulations and experiments were conducted to optimize the gain enhancement operations, and the measured results agreed with the simulated ones.

“…Phased array was used as the primary source [71]. Also, re-configurable MEMS-based PRS antennas are proposed which demonstrated independent beamwidth control in two linear orthogonal polarizations [72], and multi-functionality of RCA with reconfigurable beam shape (broadside, symmetric conical etc.) as well as beam pointing direction at a particular frequency and beam scanning with different frequencies [73].…”

A novel dual-polarized Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity antenna with low sidelobes is proposed. Low sidelobes are obtained by using a tapered partially reflective surface (PRS) in the form of circular lattice instead of the conventional rectangular lattice. As the PRS can be regarded as a 2D leaky wave surface on which cylindrical waves propagate outward radially in the form of concentric rings, so arranging the PRS elements in the form of circular lattice and then applying tapering on it yields low sidelobes in both the E-and H-planes. The performance of the proposed PRS is validated by fabricating a dual-polarized FP antenna and measuring its radiation patterns. Peak realized gains of 18.6 and 18.5 dBi are obtained for horizontal and vertical polarizations respectively, giving an aperture efficiency of around 42%. Measured sidelobe levels are reduced to lower than −21.3 dB in both the E-and H-planes for the two orthogonal polarizations.
