A broadband planar phased array consisting of 22 linear printed dipole antennas (PDA) is presented in this paper. The element is designed by a coax probe feeding mechanism with a ground plate configuration. The PDA with two arms placed on both sides of a substrate is realized. The inner conductor of the coaxial cable is connected to the PDA’s upper arm, and the outer conductor is connected to the PDA’s lower arm, so it eliminates the balun. The impedance bandwidth of the PDA array can be improved by increasing mutual coupling effect between the adjacent array elements. A dielectric layer, which is integrated on the surface of the antenna, is designed and fabricated to improve the impedance bandwidth and to shield the array. The measured results indicate the active VSWR is less than 3 over the frequency range of 4–20 GHz.

This paper proposes single element of micro-stripe antenna having wider bandwidth and also its arrays which are implemented for wire-less applications. In contemplation of wide frequency range of operation, antenna is fed with integrated balun. The single element antenna works under frequency range of 34GHz to 46GHz where reflection loss is less than -10dB and the obtained gain is 2.1 dBi. The linear 8-element array of antenna has been implemented and to obtain low mutual coupling between the elements of antenna a rectangular stub has been implemented. By enforcing the array methodology the not only the overall gain of the antenna has increased but also results in wider scanning angle.

Yagi Antenna

The focus of this manuscript was to propose a new phased array antenna design for the fifth generation (5G) mobile platforms. Eight elements of compact Quasi-Yagi antennas were placed on the top portion of smartphone printed circuits board (PCB) to form a beam-steerable phased array design. The −10 dB impedance-bandwidth of proposed 5G smartphone antenna spans from 25 GHz to 27 GHz providing 2 GHz bandwidth with less than −16 dB mutual coupling function. A coax-to-microstripline with a truncated crown of vias around the coaxial cable was used as a feeding mechanism for each radiation element. An Arlon Ad 350 substance with properties of ε = 3.5, δ = 0.003, and h = 0.8 mm was chosen as the antenna substrate. The proposed phased array antenna provides wide-angle scanning of 0°~75° with more than 10 dB realized gain levels. For the scanning angle of 0°~60°, the antenna array provides more than 90% (−0.5 dB) radiation and total efficiencies. In addition, the specific absorption rate (SAR) function and radiation performance of the design in the presence of the user-hand/user-hand have been studied. The results validate the feasibility of the proposed design for use in the 5G handheld devices. Furthermore, using the presented Quasi-Yagi elements, the radiation properties of 2 × 2, 4 × 4, and 8 × 8 planar arrays were studied and more than 8.3, 13.5, and 19.3 dBi directivities have been achieved for the designed planar arrays. The results show that the designed arrays (linear & planar) satisfy the general requirements for use in 5G platforms.

By employing the complementary dipole antenna concept to the normal waveguide fed slot radiator, an improved antenna element with wide impedance bandwidth and symmetrical radiation patterns is developed. This is achieved by mounting two additional metallic cuboids on the top of the slot radiator, which is equivalent to adding an electric dipole on top of the magnetic dipole due to the slot radiator. Then, a high-gain antenna array was designed based on the improved element and fabricated, using 3D printing technology, with stable frequency characteristics operated at around 28 GHz. This was followed by metallization via electroplating. Analytical results agree well with the experimental results. The measured operating frequency range for the reflection coefficient ≤−15 dB is from 25.7 GHz to 29.8 GHz; its corresponding fractional impedance bandwidth is 14.8%. The measured gain is approximately 32 dBi, with the 3 dB beamwidth around 4°.

AbstractA hex-sided rounded dipole antenna (HSRDA) for UWB applications is presented. It is designed by the addition of semi-elliptical patch sections at the edges of a square bow-tie antenna. The antenna structure is fed by a modified microstrip feedline for better impedance matching. An impedance bandwidth of 2.9–11.4 GHz is achieved. The antenna structure has quasi omnidirectional radiation patterns and reasonable gain over the same frequency range. A good agreement between the experimental and simulation results is observed. The proposed antenna structure has miniaturized size for the same bandwidth as compared to already reported antenna structures.

The estimation of RCS of a phased array depends on various parameters, namely, array geometry, operational frequency, feed network, mutual coupling between the antenna elements and so fourth. This paper presents the estimation of RCS of linear dipole array with series-feed network by tracing the signal path from the antenna aperture into the feed network. The effect of mutual coupling exhibited by the dipole antenna is considered for three configurations namely, side by side, collinear, and parallel in echelon. It is shown that the mutual coupling affects the antenna pattern (and hence RCS) significantly for larger scan angles. Further it is inferred that the RCS of phased array can be optimized by (i) reducing the length of the dipole, (ii) termination of the isolation port of the coupler with a suitable load, and (iii) using suitable amplitude distribution.

A multi band sleeve dipole antenna for jammer application is proposed. The antenna can cover band in which mobile and other wireless devices operate. The design antenna shows very good omni-directional characteristics and scattering parameter S11 value less than -10db. The dipole is made of two concentric hallow cylinder with different radius and different lengths. The antenna is fed at the center with coaxial cable pass through the bottom cylinder and thus avoids the use of complicated balun network. The impedance bandwidth and the radiation pattern are measured and analyzed both at 900 MHz and 1.8 GHz. The antenna can also be used GSM/DCS/WCDMA/CDMA2000/ TD-SCDMA /WLAN applications at both indoor and outdoor platform.

In this paper, a new design of high gain and wide bandwidth microstrip patch antenna array containing double meander dipole structure is proposed. Two in-phase resonant frequencies in the Ku-band (12–18 GHz) could be achieved in the double meander dipole array structure, which lead to enhance impedance bandwidth without costing extra design section. Besides, further enhanced gain of 2 dBi of the array over the entire operating frequency range has been achieved by introducing a double-layer substrate technique. The proposed antenna has been fabricated using the E33 model LPKF prototyping PCB machine. The measurement results have been performed, and they are in very good agreement with the simulation results. The measured –10 dB impedance bandwidth indicates that the array provides a very wide bandwidth which is around 30% at the center frequency of 15.5 GHz. A stable gain with a peak value of 10 dBi is achieved over the operating frequency range. The E- and H-plane radiation patterns are simulated, and a very low sidelobe level is predicted. The proposed antenna is simple and has relatively low-profile, and it could be a good candidate for millimeter wave communications.

In this manuscript, a resonator layer is presented for the purpose of reducing the mutual coupling effect between each antenna element of a cross dipole antenna. In design processes, an artificial neural network approach was used for various resonator designs. In the operating frequency band of 2.2–2.7 GHz, 48 different 6 × 6 resonator layers were created and integrated into the cross dipole antenna to reduce transmission and improve isolation between each antenna elements. Moreover, when training an artificial neural network in the Matlab program, 48 different resonator layers were used with the return losses and transmission values of cross dipole antenna elements. After training process, eight unknown resonator designs were tested and accurate results were obtained. Finally, one of the resonator planes, which was obtained from the artificial neural network, was fabricated and experimentally tested, then an accurate result was obtained. This study provides a good solution, especially for improving isolation in multiport antenna systems, using an artificial neural network approach.

The paper presents a feasibility study on the design of a new metamaterial leaky-wave antenna (MTM-LWA) used in the construction of a 1 × 2 array which is implemented using substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) technology for millimetre-wave beamforming applications. The proposed 1 × 2 array antenna consists of two LWAs with metamaterial unit-cells etched on the top surface of the SIW. The metamaterial unit-cell, which is an E-shaped transverse slot, causes leakage loss and interrupts current flow over SIW to enhance the array’s performance. The dimensions of the LWA are 40 × 10 × 0.75 mm3. Mutual-coupling between the array elements is suppressed by incorporating a metamaterial shield (MTM-shield) between the two antennas in the array. The LWA operates over a frequency range of 55–65 GHz, which is corresponding to 16.66% fractional bandwidth. The array is shown to exhibit beam-scanning of ±30° over its operating frequency range. Radiation gain in the backward (−30°), broadside (0°), and forward (+30°) directions are 8.5 dBi, 10.1 dBi, and 9.5 dBi, respectively. The decoupling slab is shown to have minimal effect on the array’s performance in terms of impedance bandwidth and radiation specifications. The MTM-shield is shown to suppress the mutual coupling by ~25 dB and to improve the radiation gain and efficiency by ~1 dBi and ~13% on average, respectively.
