“…In these devices patch antenna, waveguide aperture or a dipole is used as a single feeding source and FSS is used as a superstrate above the feeding source at a distance of λ/2 in [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] or λ/4, where the ground plane acts as the artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) [13]. In order to achieve high gain and wider input impedance, CRA with FSS-type superstrate is more beneficial than CRA with high permittivity type superstrates as the former is easy to fabricate and is of low cost [14].…”

Abstract-This paper presents a high-gain cavity resonant antenna (CRA), consisting of an FSS layer placed above an aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna (ACMPA). Geometry of the proposed FSS superstrate is highly reflective with |Γ > 0.9|. Ray-tracing method has been employed for determining the resonant condition of the antenna. ACMPA operating at S-band is serving as a feeding source. The coupling aperture of the antenna is of novel design, and several figures of merit have been presented for the proposed coupling aperture. Analysis of CRA has been carried out with the design parameters of the CRA. HFSS-13 has been utilized as simulation tool. Measured results are in good agreement with the simulated ones.

“…The MSAs configured in several techniques with engineered superstrate to enhance the radiation efficiency and directivity, such as highly refractive surface, artificial magnetic superstrate , electromagnetic band gap (EBG), and some design uses dielectric slabs [14]- [16]. Use of magneto-dielectric materials having high permittivity instead of dielectric material improves the gain of the MSAs.…”

A multi-functional microstrip compact antenna capable of steering the main beam to eight different directions in the elevation plane is conferred in this study. The compact antenna consists of a driven patch of to bring in the resonance to , for achieving enormous application in european radar service under Wi-MAX band. The conductive layer on the superstrate deflect the beam with an angle corresponding to the position of superstrate on parasitic layer, without considering complex phase shifters and associated circuits. Proper alignment of superstrate results maximum scanning angle of with of deflection angle. The directivity of the antenna is enhanced by manipulating the parameters of the superstrate. The gain of the antenna was improved up to and the efficiency is improved up to using engineered superstrate. The full-wave simulation as well as analytical study was done using the IE3D EM simulator.

“…There are several configurations for the design of superstrate layer which have been attempted in past. This includes the use of simple dielectrics [3], electromagnetic band gap structures [4], artificial magnetics [5] and highly reflective frequency selective surfaces (FSS) [6,7]. The technique of using a highly reflective frequency selective surfaces (FSS) for directivity and gain enhancement has been proved quite effective [7][8][9][10].…”

Abstract-Cavity reflex antenna (CRA) employing a circular patch type FSS (Frequency Selective Surface) superstrate is investigated. Analysis in terms of gain, bandwidth (impedance and gain) and radiation pattern has been presented. The aim of this work was to study low profile CRA having very thin superstrate sizes. In this CRA a circular patch antenna is used as a feeding source. The circular patch type FSS possesses some unique properties favorable for thin superstrate sizes. In practice when the excitation source of the CRA is a probe-fed microstrip antenna with finite ground plane, substrate and superstrate, cross-polarization increases. In the presented design, the cross polar level has been reduced by choosing the optimum air gap and superstrate geometrical and electrical properties. A CRA with circular patch type FSS offers better performance both in terms of gain and impedance bandwidth for, thin superstrates (0.008λ 0 ) while giving a gain of 13 dBi and considerably reduced crosspolar level. The proposed antenna exhibit nearly equal E-plane and H-plane radiation pattern. Measurement results are provided to support the simulated results (by Ansoft HFSS). The circular patch type FSS is easy to fabricate and can be embedded into the host profile.
