A novel cavity-backed probe-fed linearly polarized microstrip antenna based on the concept of hybrid radiators is proposed and implemented. The resulting flush-mounted antenna exhibits symmetrical bandwidth, low cross-polarization radiation in theH-plane, due to its hybrid patch, and low cost, since it can be built on a FR4 laminate. Substrate integrated waveguide technology is used in the fabrication of the metallic cavity. The effect of mutual coupling is analyzed for two classical arrangements: the side-by-side and the collinear configurations.

We are living in the era of wireless communication. From accessing Internet through smartphones and Wi-Fi, changing TV channels with remote controls, using wireless computer peripherals like mouse, keyboards and headphones to mobile body area networks for keeping track of heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature, applications of wireless communication is everywhere. The most frequent and common use of wireless communication is mobile phones or cellular phones which uses the radio waves to carry data from one place to another. Though there are many advantages of wireless communication which makes it so popular, there are two most significant challenges in implementing a wireless communication system: multipath propagation and limited information rate. The concept of multipath propagation refers to travelling of wireless signal to the receiving antenna via different paths in space resulting in inter-symbol interference and fading. This phenomenon leads to failure of maximum use of the bandwidth resulting in low information rate. The problematic event of multipath propagation can be exploited by using more than one antenna (MIMO) in the sending and the receiving side. Multiple sending antennas use the concept of space diversity by sending same data signal through different path based on the fact that different version of the same signal will be received by the receiver increasing quality and reliability of the received data signal.Though in the current usage scenario, MIMO actually exploits multipath propagation concept for carrying more than one data stream over the same radio signal. One of the most important factors that influence the efficiency of MIMO antenna systems is the design layout of multiple antennas. Microstrip antennas, having small height and width, low cost, low weight and small volume can be a suitable candidate for being used as MIMO. The wireless performance of locally limited wireless communication systems such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi using 2.4 GHz unlicensed band can be increased significantly by incorporating the advantages of MIMO and microstrip antenna technology. In this paper, the performance of MIMO Microstrip antenna using OFDM technique for 2.4 GHz communication has been evaluated.

Abstract Considering the narrow bandwidth of microstrip antennas, but also their applicability in upcoming technologies, this paper addresses the problem of wide-band matching, the theoretical bounds on the matching bandwidth and low-cost and low-complexity matching strategies. In this context the Bode-Fano bounds of single mode, linearly polarized aperture-coupled microstrip antennas is evaluated, optimized and compared to the theoretical bounds on matching bandwidth of other common feeding technologies. A detailed study of the input impedance of aperture-coupled patch antennas shows how to widen the Fano bounds. Based on this, a straight-forward and effective method to optimize the Fano bound is given. After optimization of the antennas input impedance, basic matching techniques can be applied, to exploit the enlarged bandwidth potential. As an example a $\lambda/4$-transformer as matching element is proposed. Design equations and simulation and measurement results of X-band prototypes are given as verification.

Simulation Results

The design of a frequency reconfigurable dual-band H-shaped microstrip antenna fed by two coaxial probes is presented. Each probe excites one of the two fundamental modes of the antenna which are linearly polarized and orthogonal to each other. The antenna is symmetrically loaded with four varactor diodes to simultaneously tune these two modes. Simulation results show that the tunable range of the first mode is between 1.69 and 2.19 GHz (1.3 : 1 tuning ratio), whereas it is between 1.94 and 2.72 GHz (1.4 : 1 tuning ratio) for the second mode. In the range between 1.94 and 2.19 GHz, the radiation of the proposed antenna can be switched between two orthogonal linear polarizations by a simple adjustment to the capacitance of the varactor diodes. The proposed antenna achieves a good performance in terms of port-to-port isolation, directivity, and cross-polarization.

AbstractA novel compact electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure consisting of two turns complementary spiral resonator (CSR) and conventional mushroom EBG (CM-EBG) structure is introduced to suppress the mutual coupling in antenna arrays for multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) applications. Eigenmode calculation is used to investigate the proposed CSR-loaded mushroom-type EBG (MT-EBG), which proved to exhibit bandgap property and a miniaturization of 48.9% is realized compared with the CM-EBG. By inserting the proposed EBG structure between two E-plane coupled microstrip antennas, a mutual coupling reduction of 8.13 dB has been achieved numerically and experimentally. Moreover, the EBG-loaded antenna has better far-field radiation patterns compared with the reference antenna. Thus, this novel EBG structure with advantages of compactness and high decoupling efficiency opens an avenue to new types of antennas with super performances.

Abstract For closely spaced microstrip antenna elements, Mutual Coupling (MC) is an inevitable phenomenon which degrades antenna performances like gain, radiation pattern, return loss, radiation efficiency etc. Lot of works have been done on the reduction of MC and published the results in the open literatures. This paper presents an approach to suppress MC between two closely spaced microstrip radiators. This is achieved by inserting properly designed EMSS structure between the radiating elements. This EMSS acts as an electrical wall between two rectangular patches and reduces mutual coupling up to 50 dB at resonance frequency of 4.35 GHz. In this attempt, Cross Polarization (XP) reduction of 12.5dB has also been achieved with a gain 5.40dBi for the proposed antenna. The centre to centre spacing between the antenna elements is taken as 22.1mm (0.32λ).The proposed MIMO antenna system can be used for satellite communication and radar system.
