In this paper, a compact multiband printed antenna is proposed to cover four resonant bands in the range of 1-6 GHz. The antenna structure is inspired from that of the classical multi-cavity magnetron resonator. The antenna comprises a slot annular ring structure in the ground plane of an Isola FR4 substrate having Ԑr = 3.5 and thickness h=1.5 mm. The outer circle of the annular ring is loaded with radial arranged small circular slots. On the opposite side of the substrate, the antenna is fed with a 50-Ohm microstrip line. To investigate the effect of different antenna elements on the antenna performance, a parametric study is conducted. The antenna is simulated, fabricated, and measured. The simulated 10 dB return loss bandwidths for the four resonant bands are 35% (1.53–2.11GHz), 14% (2.9–3.34GHz), 12% (4.2–4.75GHz), and 9% (4.94–5.39GHz), respectively. Thus, the antenna is a proper candidate for many in use bands of wireless systems (1.65, 3.14, 4.44, 5.24 GHz), including LTE-FDD, GNSS, GSM-450, W-CDMA/HSPA/k, 802.11a, and IEEE 802.11ac WLAN. The results indicate that the designed antenna has quad-band resonant responses with substantial frequency ratios of f4/f3, f3/f2 and f2/f1. Besides, the antenna offers reasonable radiation characteristics with a gain of 2.5, 4.0, 6.2, and 4.2 dBi, throughout the four resonant bands.

In this communication, the design of a dual-band and low-profile SIW cavity-backed slot antenna operating at K-band and Ka-band has been proposed to expand the Impedance bandwidth (IBW) of the antenna. The dual-band antenna consists of the SIW cavity with two parallel slots etched on the conductor’s ground plane. To obtain a dual-band, higher-order hybrid modes are tuned and combined to form the second band of the proposed antenna with a broader bandwidth. For dual-band antenna, fractional bandwidth of 5.26% and 6.15% are attained with the maximum gain of 5.45 dBi and 6.15 dBi at 24.7 GHz and 27.8 GHz, respectively. A cavity-backed antenna using via-hole and the slot has been proposed to improve an IBW and other antenna performance parameters. Via-hole establishes a connection between the top and bottom surfaces of the cavity, creating a new path for the current to flow by shortening the slot’s effective length. An IBW of 4.2 GHz (15.32%), where a gain of 7.8 dBi and 9.2 dBi have been realized at 25.9 GHz and 28.8 GHz, respectively. Isolation of less than 25 dB has been achieved through simulation. In terms of λ0, the overall volumetric dimension of the proposed antenna is 1.68 λ0×1.31λ0×0.04λ0. The proposed design demonstrates better performance in terms of antenna parameters, including compactness, good radiation characteristics, enhanced impedance bandwidth, and higher gain than the latest state of the art.
