“…2. As described in [11], [15]- [16], a conventional L-slot antenna is composed of two slots connected at their ends with an angle of 90 degrees, with a total slot length near to a quarter-wavelength at the reference frequency. The antenna is fed by a 50 Ω microstrip transmission line on the opposite side of the substrate (FR-4 in our case) with respect to the slot antenna.…”

Abstract-Energy saving is one of the most important issues in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) context. Since the communication task is the most power-consuming operation, it is quite important to achieve an energy efficient communication in order to increase the lifetime of the devices through an intelligent use of the power transmission. In this context, the integration of WSN nodes with switched-beam antennas is becoming more and more appealing due to the possibility to extend sensor node lifetime by optimizing the transmitted power.In this work a switched-beam antenna for WSNs nodes in the ISM band (2.4-2.4835 GHz) is proposed. The radiating structure consists of four identical antennas, composed of an array of two L-shaped quarter-wavelength slot antenna elements arranged in a compact and symmetrical planar structure. Thanks to a properly designed switching circuit which controls the feeding of the antenna elements, one among eight possible different radiation patterns in the azimuth plane can be selected on the basis of specific needs. Simulations and experimental results, referred to a prototype realized on a FR-4 substrate, demonstrate the appropriateness of the proposed switched-beam antenna system as hardware element enabling new power saving strategies in WSN contexts.

“…Thus they are mostly and popularly used in military (aircraft, spacecraft, and missile) and commercial (mobile radio and wireless communications) applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. However, they still suffer from the disadvantages of bi-directional radiation, low gain and would not be suitable for some applications, such as point-to-point (p2p) communications.…”

Abstract-In this paper, a directional slot antenna with parasitic patch and windowed superstrate is presented.Through this composition, high-gain property can easily be obtained by this proposed antenna. The proposed antenna has a measured impedance bandwidth of 2.41-2.49 GHz for S 11 < −10 dB, which can cover the 2.4-2.484 GHz frequency band of WLAN application. Simulated and measured results show that high-gain features up to 11.50 dBi across the corresponding impedance band are achieved. Details of the proposed slot antenna configurations and design procedures are given; the experimental results are also given and discussed.

“…Annular-ring patch antennas [1][2][3][4] and annular-slot antennas [5][6][7][8] have recently attracted significant interest because of their appealing features such as relatively wide bandwidth, low profile, light weight and ease of fabrication. In general, the bandwidth for single-frequency annular-slot antennas is about 10% [5,8].…”

A compact dual-band annular-slot antenna loaded by a concentric split-ring-slot is presented. A stepped microstrip feedline enables the control of the coupling and provides good matching. The annular-slot is connected to the split-ring-slot by a rectangular slot, which increases the surface of the current path, thus notably reducing the resonant frequency for a given size. The embedded split-ring-slot structure allows many resonant modes to be realised. By tuning the key parameters, these operating modes and their bandwidths can be controlled. A wide bandwidth can be realised for either the lower band, upper band or both bands simultaneously, depending on the application. Measured results show that the bandwidths in the region of 45 -15% and 32-8.4%, can be provided for the lower and upper bands, respectively. For the case where a wideband response is required for both bands, it is shown that 26 and 32% can be realised. A 30% miniaturisation is also achieved compared with conventional annular ring slot antennas.
