Frequency Reconfigurable Antenna

A compact frequency reconfigurable antenna for mobile handset application is proposed in this paper. The antenna consists of an inverted L-shaped feeding strip, a shorter grounded strip, and a longer grounded strip which is connected with four inductors by using a single-pole four-throw RF switch. When we change the working states of the RF switch, the corresponding inductor is connected with the long grounded strip and different resonant modes of the antenna can be realized. The measured −6 dB impedance bandwidth of the presented antenna is 683–960 MHz and 1460–2820 MHz, which is able to cover the LTE700/GSM850/900 and GPS/DCS1800/PCS1900/UMTS2100/LTE2300/2500 bands. The antenna gain, radiation efficiency, and radiation patterns are also described in the paper.

Frequency Reconfigurable Antenna

A planar small-size eight-band frequency reconfigurable antenna for LTE/WWAN mobile handset applications is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a feeding strip and a coupled strip, with a total dimension of 10 × 29.5 mm2. Reconfigurability is realized by incorporating a one-pole four-throw RF switch, which is embedded in the coupled strip and changes the resonant modes for the lower band. By combining four different working modes, the proposed antenna successfully realize the eight-band operation, covering the operating bands of 700~787 MHz, 824~960 MHz, and 1710~2690 MHz. In addition, the simple DC bias circuit of the RF switch has little effect on the antenna performances, with no significant reduction in antenna efficiency and variations in the radiation patterns. The measured antenna efficiencies are 40%~50% and over 60% for the lower band and the upper band, respectively. Prototypes of the proposed frequency reconfigurable antenna incorporating the one-pole four-throw switch are fabricated and measured. The measured results including return losses and radiation characteristics are presented.

A broadband differential-fed dual-polarized hollow cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is proposed in this article. It makes use of the HEM111, HEM113, and HEM115 modes of the cylindrical hollow DRA. The proposed DRA is simply fed by two pairs of conducting strips and each pair of strips is provided with the out-of-phase signals. After introducing four disconnected air holes into the DRA, a broadband characteristic is achieved, with little effect on the antenna gain of its higher-order modes. To verify this idea, frosted K9-glass is applied to fabricate the hollow cylindrical DRA. The differential S-parameters, radiation patterns, and antenna gain of the DRA are studied. It is found that the proposed differential-fed dual-polarized DRA is able to provide a broad differential impedance bandwidth of ~68% and a high differential-port isolation better than ~46 dB. Moreover, symmetrical broadside radiation patterns are observed across the whole operating band. The proposed DRA covers the frequency bands including the 5G-n77 (3.4–4.2 GHz), 5G-n79 (4.4–5.0 GHz), WLAN-5.2 GHz (5.15–5.35 GHz), and WLAN-5.8 GHz (5.725–5.825 GHz), which can be used for 5G communications.

Operating Bandwidth

A compact patch antenna with stacked parasitic strips (SPSs) based on low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) technology is presented. By adding three pairs of SPSs above the traditional patch antenna, multiple resonant modes are excited to broaden the bandwidth. At the same time, the SPSs act as directors to guide the antenna radiation toward broadside direction to enhance the gain. The measured results show that the prototype antenna achieves an impedance bandwidth of 16% forS11<-10 dB (32.1–37.9 GHz) and a maximum gain of about 8 dBi at 35 GHz. Furthermore, the radiation patterns and gain are relatively stable within the operating bandwidth. The total volume of the antenna is only 8 × 8 × 1.1 mm3.

This paper presents the design of a bidirectional same-sense circularly polarized (CP) antenna that uses metasurfaces. The antenna consists of two metasurfaces, each comprising an array of 2 × 4 corner truncated patches placed back-to-back on the top and bottom of the antenna. In addition, a ground plane with an etched slot is sandwiched between the substrates at the front and back, and the feed line is a 50 Ω coplanar waveguide. The antenna radiates same-sense right-handed CP waves in both the front and back directions and has overall dimensions of 48 mm × 24 mm × 3.048 mm (0.91λo × 0.45λo × 0.05λo at 5.7 GHz). The measured reflection coefficient for |S11| < -10 dB yields an impedance bandwidth of 5.21–6.26 GHz (18.4%) and an axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 5.36–6 GHz (11.2%) for both front and back directions. The antenna gain is 3–5.29 dBic for both directions and has a radiation efficiency of >96% within its AR bandwidth.

A compact printed ultrawideband (UWB) diversity antenna with a size of 30 mm × 36 mm operating at a frequency range of 3.1–10.6 GHz is proposed. The antenna is composed of two semielliptical monopoles fed by two microstrip lines. Two semicircular slots, two rectangular slots, and one stub are introduced in the ground plane to adjust the impedance bandwidth of the antenna and improve the isolation between two feeding ports. The simulated and measured results show that impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna can cover the whole UWB band with a good isolation of < −15 dB. The radiation patterns, peak antenna gain, and envelope correlation coefficient are also measured and discussed. The measured results show that the proposed antenna can be a good candidate for some portable MIMO/diversity UWB applications.
