Novel adaptive blind spot detector using square modified cantor fractal microstrip antenna array

Abstract

This article proposes an adaptive vehicular antenna array with four analog variable phase shifters and a corporate feed network to tilt the main beam in any broadside direction and scan the blind spot zone. Square modified cantor fractal geometry of each element achieves 65% surface reduction, measured 75 MHz bandwidth, 5.5 dB gain, −32 dB return loss, and an array gain of 11 dB at 5.88 GHz dedicated short range communication service frequency band. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Design and analysis of a wideband circularly polarised perturbed psi‐shaped antenna

“…From the axial ratio curve as portrayed in Fig. 5b, the antenna radiates with perfectly circular polarisation in the entire 1 GHz AR bandwidth (5)(6).…”

“…The equivalent circuit of the proposed antenna is given in Section 4. After that, the measured results are portrayed with the simulated results and analysed the suitability of the proposed antenna for intelligent transportation system (ITS) application [6] in Section 5.…”
