Electrically Small Antenna Inspired by Spired Split Ring Resonator

Abstract

Abstract-A simple metamaterial resonator structure based efficiency electrically small semi-circular loop antenna (ESSCLA) is proposed. It is demonstrated numerically that capacitance offered by the simple metamaterial resonator structure can counteract the inductive impedance of the ESSCLA at the resonance frequency. The overall structures of ESSCLA can be fabricated on one dielectric substrate, and match conjugate to a 50 Ohm coaxial transmission line source without additional matching network. The size of the proposed ESSCLA is ka = 0.6745 by Chu limit. The resonance frequency is 3.2239 GHz, and impedance bandwidth (S 11 < −10) is from 3.19 GHz to 3.26 GHz about 0.07 GHz, the relative bandwidth is about 2.2%. The measure results accord with the simulation results well. The peak gain is 4.58 dB. The radiation efficiency is 97.81%, the overall efficiency is 96.71% at the resonance frequency. The proposed antenna has advantages of efficiency, high gain, low cost, small size, and light weight and will be applied to wireless communication systems for required small antennas.Corresponding author: Z.

Compact multiband printed-IFA on electromagnetic band-gap structures for wireless applications

“…The EBG structures are usually periodic arrangements of metallic or dielectric elements that exhibit band-gap characteristics which are sensitive to the permittivity, thickness of the substrate, and most importantly to EBG geometry. were suggested [20][21][22][23]. Most of the researches were focused on three-dimensional EBG structures, which are complicated, heavy, and difficult to integrate with microwave circuits.…”

Compact Multiband Printed IFA on Electromagnetic Band-Gap Structures Ground Plane for Wireless Applications

“…In this paper, different shapes of high-impedance surface structures were introduced as mushroom, ring, split ring resonator, and spiral shape cells, respectively, as shown in Figure 3 to produce wide or dual band gaps and as a means to suppress surface waves effectively [18][19][20]. The configurations of transmission line over the 7 × 5 cell arrangement used to test the proposed EBG structures are shown in Figure 4.…”

Multifrequency Self-Diplexed Single Patch Antennas Loaded With Split Ring Resonators

“…Split ring resonators are planar structures that have been widely used in metamaterials and LH structures design [9,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. They consist of a double metallic concentric rings with a width of c, separated a distance d and with a small cut on each of them at opposite sides, g. The length of the coupling side is r. In order to increase the coupling between the supporting transmission line and the corresponding SRRs, a pair of square SRRs instead of a circular one has been chosen as it is shown on The proposed dual frequency antenna is shown in Figure 3.…”
