Miniaturized Antenna

AbstractIn this paper a coplanar waveguide feed (CPW) monopole antenna backed with artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) structure for efficient radiation has been presented for off-body wearable applications. A split ring resonator (SRR) having thiner and longer lines to produce higher inductance and six splits with smaller gaps for high capacitance have been placed underneath CPW fed monopole to achieve resonance mode at a lower frequency. Higher values of inductance and capacitance produce resonant modes at relatively lower frequencies resulting in highly miniaturized antenna. The desired −10dB S11 bandwidth has been optimized firstly, by tuning/optimizing flow of surface currents with the help of several slots/slits and later by realizing AMC reflector with the help of full ground backed foam. The proposed antenna covers 2.45 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band body area network (BAN) application and posses good front to back ratio (FBR) and thereby low and acceptable values of specific absorption rate (SAR). The proposed antenna has been designed and simulated using Ansys high frequency structured simulator and tested using vector network analyzer and anechoic chamber. The simulated and measured results well agree with each other.

AbstractThis paper investigates a wideband and low axial ratio circularly polarized (CP) antenna, which is composed of a monopole on a novel polarization rotating reflective surface (PRRS) based on a corner-truncated artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) structure. By adjusting the dimensions of truncated corner properly, the PRRS has two polarization rotation (PR) frequency points. Then, a large PR band of 18% (5.55–6.65 GHz) can be achieved with two adjacent PR frequency points coming together. The profile of the newly PRRS is only0.04λ0. With corner-truncated AMC-based PRRS loading, a measured impedance bandwidth of 1.8 GHz (5.4–7.2 GHz) and the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 1 GHz (5.55–6.65 GHz) could be obtained by the monopole antenna and validated by measurements. The values of AR were well below 1 dB at most of the CP region, which show a perfect CP performance. Moreover, the proposed antenna has exhibited a large axial ratio beamwidth in both the xoz- and yoz-planes and a peak gain of 6.1 dBic within the operational bandwidth.
