A cavity-backed angled-dipole antenna is proposed for millimeter-wave wireless applications. The angled-dipole radiator is built on both sides of an RT/Duroid 5880 substrate (εr=2.2) and fed by a parallel-plate transmission line. The cavity-backed reflector is utilized to improve the radiation characteristics of the angled dipole, such as gain, back-radiation, symmetric pattern, and similar 3 dB beamwidth in theE- andH-planes. The design, with a cavity aperture of0.5λ28-GHz×0.5λ28-GHz, results in aS11<-10 dB bandwidth of 26.7–30.6 GHz, a gain of 6.6–8.0 dB, and a similar 3 dB beamwidth of approximately 70° for both theE- andH-planes. Eight-element linear arrays with the proposed antenna having a center-to-center spacing of 5.6 mm(0.52λ28-GHz)are characterized, fabricated, and measured. By applying nonuniform power distribution across excitations, the array achieves a scan angle up to 40° and a sidelobe level below −15 dB.

Dipole antennas in boreholes are used for tomographic imaging or electromagnetic well logging. A cylindrically layered structure within the borehole will change the radiation characteristics of a dipole antenna. Our objective is to understand the effects of the borehole structure upon the impedance, waveform distortion, and directivity patterns of a dipole antenna. We use a finite-difference, time-domain (FDTD) technique to simulate borehole-antenna radiation, while the geometry of both the dipole and the borehole are modeled with a subgrid technique. The simulated input impedances are verified by experimental results. Both the water-filled and the air-filled boreholes distort the radiated wavefronts, waveforms, and resonant frequencies relative to the same characteristics of a dipole in homogeneous media. A water-filled borehole lowers the first resonant frequency, while an air-filled borehole raises it. At high frequencies, the antenna in the water-filled borehole exhibits radiation side lobes. The borehole effects for water- and air-filled boreholes differ and should not be neglected for borehole antenna design.

<p><em>Abstrak </em><strong> - Antena merupakan alat pemancar yang akrab dengan aktifitas sehari-hari dan mudah sekali dijumpai, di rumah, di gedung, bahkan pada alat komunikasi yang digunakan. Salah satu antena yang sering digunakan adalah antena televisi. Antena televisi yang sering digunakan adalah Yagi-Uda yang biasanya dipakai sebagai outdoor antena dan antena dipole yang biasanya digunakan untuk indoor antena. Masing – masing jenis antena memiliki kriteria dan keuntungan berdasarkan dari kebutuhan penggunaannya. Baik antena dipole maupun antena Yagi-Uda memiliki perbedaan diantaranya adalah besar bandwidth, nilai gain, dan pola radiasi. Pada paper ini dapat diketahui bahwa bandwidth yang dimiliki antena yagi-uda lebih besar daripada antena dipole yakni 0.39943 MHz untuk antena yagi-uda dan 0.16569 MHz untuk antena dipole. Begitupula dengan besar Gain yang dimiliki antena Yagi-Uda (6.64 dBi) lebih besar dibandingkan dengan gain dari antena dipole (2.29 dBi). Perbedaan ini dikarenakan faktor elemen director dan ketebalannya.</strong></p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong><em>Kata Kunci</em></strong> – <em>Atena Televisi, Atena Yagi-Uda, Atena Dipole, Gain, Bandwidth</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>Abstract</em> <strong>- Antenna is a transmitter tool that is familiar with daily activity and easy to find at home, in the building, even on the communication tool used. One of antenna that is often used is a television antenna. Television antennas are often used is Yagi-Uda which is usually used as an outdoor antenna and dipole antenna that is usually used for indoor antennas. Each type of antenna has the criteria and advantages based on the needs of its use. Both dipole antennas and Yagi-Uda antennas have differences among them are bandwidth, gain, and radiation pattern. In this paper it can be seen that the bandwidth of yagi-uda antenna is bigger than dipole antenna that is 0.39943 MHz for Yagi-Uda antenna and 0.16569 MHz for dipole antenna. Neither the large Gain of the Yagi-Uda antenna (6.64 dBi) is greater than the gain of the dipole antenna (2.29 dBi). This difference is due to element factor of director and its thickness.</strong></p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><strong> – </strong><em>Television Antenna, Yagi-Uda Antenna, Dipole Antenna, Gain, Bandwidth</em><strong> </strong></p>

E-textile antennas have the potential to be the premier on-body wearable sensor. Embroidery techniques, which can be applied to produce e-textile antennas, assist in large production volumes and fast production speeds. This paper focuses on the effects of three commonly used embroidery parameters, namely stitch type, conductive thread location, and stabilizer, on the performance of embroidered dipole antennas in order to determine the ideal embroidery combination for optimal antenna performance. Fifty-four dipole antenna samples were fabricated and measured at the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency band of 2.45 GHz. The results of this study show that machine-embroidered antenna designs with satin stitches resonate at a lower frequency and exhibit a lower transmission gain compared with those made with contour stiches, and the conductive thread location in the bobbin location plus the use of a water-soluble stabilizer can help improve impedance matching.
