Miniature Antennas

In this chapter, the authors present different techniques used to miniature microstrip antennas, particularly planar antennas array, for different applications demanding small dimensions. This will cover DGS, slot technique, and metamaterials. After the presentation of these techniques based on theoretical studies, the second part of this chapter will be about the authors' contribution in the miniaturization of microstrip antennas arrays. This part will include the presentation of some miniature antennas array which they have validated into simulation and measurement by using DGS techniques. The different structures were validated into simulation by using tow electromagnetic solvers ADS (advanced design system) and CST-MW (computer simulation technology) which permit one to validate and to verify the different performances of antennas arrays as radiation pattern, matching input impedance and small dimensions.

Novel Concept

In this paper, a novel concept on the design of a broadband printed Yagi antenna for S-band wireless communication applications is presented. The proposed antenna exhibits a wide bandwidth (more than 48% fractional bandwidth) operating in the frequency range 2.6 GHz–4.3 GHz. This is achieved by employing an elliptically shaped coupled-directive element, which is wider compared with other elements. Compared with the conventional printed Yagi design, the tightly coupled directive element is placed very close (0.019λ to 0.0299λ) to the microstrip-fed dipole arms. The gain performance is enhanced by placing four additional elliptically shaped directive elements towards the electromagnetic field’s direction of propagation. The overall size of the proposed antenna is 60 mm × 140 mm × 1.6 mm. The proposed antenna is fabricated and its characteristics, such as reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, and gain, are compared with simulation results. Excellent agreement between measured and simulation results is observed.

Uwb Applications

An ultrawideband antenna is designed, simulated, and realized. To overcome the narrow bandwidth characteristics of basic patch antennas, the structure of the radiation pattern is optimized by the aid of elliptical and rectangular patches. Also triangular patches are applied to the antenna edge in order to enhance the VSWR and gain properties. A typical VSWR of 1.5 (less than 2 in the whole frequency range) and a typical gain of 2 dBi (mainly above 1 dBi in the whole frequency range) are observed. The simulations present that the designed antenna has a bandwidth ratio of ~5 : 1 within the frequency range of 4–19.1 GHz with compact dimensions of 25 × 26 mm2. It is fabricated on a 0.5 mm thick, RO3035 substrate. The input impedance, gain, and radiation characteristics of the antenna are also presented. With these properties, it is verified that, with its novel shape, the proposed antenna can be used for various UWB applications.

In this paper, a quasi-Yagi antenna for an indoor location tracking system is proposed. The performance of the proposed antenna was verified by testing it using an indoor location tracking system. To improve the bandwidth and gain, two parasitic directors were added near the dipole. The performance verification of the proposed antenna is explained, along with a performance comparison of the VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) radiation pattern and the realized gain. The proposed antenna was connected to an NVA-R661 module of Xethru Inc. for indoor location tracking. The proposed antenna exhibited a wide bandwidth of 4.36 GHz by satisfying a VSWR ≤ 2 from 5.03 to 9.39 GHz, the maximum gain was 6.46 dBi in the 8 GHz band. The radiation pattern exhibited a good directivity characteristic within the proposed band. The location tracking result of a moving target clearly describes the route of the target along a moving line.

In this paper, a multiband and miniature rectangular microstrip antenna is designed and analyzed for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader applications. The miniaturization is achieved using fractal technique and the physical parameters of the structure as well as its ground plane are optimized using CST Microwave Studio. The total area of the final structure is 71.6 x 94 mm<sup>2</sup>. The results show that the proposed antenna has good matching input impedance with a stable radiation pattern at 915 MHz, 2.45 GHz, and 5.8 GHz.
