In this paper, a novel design for planar plate monopole antennas is proposed with applications to ultra-wide band (UWB) communications. To verify the proposed antenna design, simulations are performed by means of CST and HFSS software tools, showing that the impedance bandwidth is significantly increased by vertical cross-sections. By adding a series of parameters to the vertical cross sections, the antenna efficiency is effectively enhanced by achieving a return loss of 10 dB over the bandwidth range between 3.1 GHz and 10.6 GHz. In addition, our experimental results demonstrate that the fabricated antenna has a return loss performance similar to that obtained by the simulation results.

AbstractThe concept of wearable products such as textile antenna are being developed which are capable of monitoring, alerting and demanding attention whenever hospital emergency is needed, hence minimizing labour and resource. In the proposed work by using textile material as a substrate the ultra wideband antenna is designed especially for medical applications.Simulated and measured results here shows that the proposed antenna design meets the requirements of wide working bandwidth and provides 13.08 GHz bandwidth with very small size, washable (if using conductive thread for conductive parts) and flexible materials. Results in terms of bandwidth, radiation pattern, return loss as well as gain and efficiency are presented to validate the usefulness of the current proposed design. The work done here has many implications for future research and it could help patients with such flexible and comfortable medical monitoring techniques.


A compact egg-shaped super wide-band patch antenna with coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed is proposed. A much simpler design equation has been identified compared to previous reported works for egg-shaped patch antennas. An optimized egg shaped antenna has been designed and implemented on FR4 substrate with the dimensions 30mm x 27.5mm x 1.6mm.The antenna with geometry modifications has an impedance bandwidth 2.85-31.6 GHz. The performance of the antenna was validated analytically for super wideband (SWB) operation and experimentally for ultra-wideband (UWB) operation. A maximum gain of 4.4dBi and a minimum of 2dBi was observed at 6.5GHz and 3GHz respectively. A 30% reduction in patch area has been achieved compared to existing egg-shaped SWB antennas in literature. The lower frequency bound of the antenna is scalable with dimensions for lesser permittivity substrates which has been analytically validated. It is identified that the proposed antenna design could be used to achieve flexibility in bandwidth. This antenna is a potential candidate for super wideband applications.

Analysis and design of an ultra-wideband microstrip-to-slotline transition on a low permittivity substrate is presented. Cross-sectional structures along the proposed transition are analyzed using conformal mapping assuming quasi-TEM modes, attaining one analytical line impedance formula with varying design parameters. Although the slotline is a non-TEM transmission line, the transitional structures are configured to have quasi-TEM modes before forming into the slotline. The line impedance is optimally tapered using the Klopfenstein taper, and the electric field shapes are smoothly transformed from microstrip line to slotline. The analytical formula is accurate within 5% difference, and the final transition configuration can be designed without parameter tuning. The implemented microstrip-to-slotline transition possesses insertion loss of less than 1.5 dB per transition and return loss of more than 10 dB from 4.4 to over 40 GHz.

Abstract A novel design of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed antenna array with circular polarization (CP) and a high front-to-back ratio is described. The proposed CP array is achieved by using a compact CPW–slotline transition network etched in the ground plane. The measured results show that this kind of feeding method can improve the impedance bandwidth, as well as the axial ratio bandwidth of the CP antenna array and provide adequate gain. The proposed array can achieve a 6.08% impedance bandwidth and a 4.10% CP bandwidth. Details of the antenna design and experimental results are presented and discussed.

AbstractA novel design of ultra-wideband CPW-fed compact monopole patch antenna is presented in the article. The size of the antenna is 22 × 18 × 1.6 mm and it operates well over an ultra-wideband frequency range 4.86–13.66 GHz (simulated) and 4.93–13.54 GHz (measured) covering C, X and partial Ku band applications. The proposed design consists of a defected ground plane and U-shape radiating patch along with two square shape parasitic patches in order to achieve the ultra-wideband (UWB) operations. The performance matrix is validated through measured results that indicate the wide impedance bandwidth (93.2 %) with maximum gain of 4 dBi with nearly 95 % of maximum radiation efficiency; moreover, the 3D gain pattern manifests approximately omni-directional pattern of the proposed design. The prototype has been modelled using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator-18) by ANSYS, fabricated and tested using vector network analyser E5071C.


This paper presents a novel, compact Ultra Wide Band , Asymmetric Ring Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (ARRDRA), which is a unique combination of Thin Dielectric Resonator (DR), Fork shape patch and defective ground structure. The base of the proposed antenna is its Hybrid structure, which generates fundamental TM, TE and higher order modes that yields an impedance bandwidth of 119%. Proposed antenna provides a frequency range from 4.2 to 16.6 GHz with a stable radiation pattern and low cross polarization levels. Peak gain of 5.5 dB and average efficiency of 90% is obtained by the design. Antenna is elongated on a FR4 substrate of dimension 20 x 24x 2.168 mm3 and is particularly suitable for C band INSAT, Radio Altimeter, WLAN, Wi-Fi for high frequencies. Ease in fabrication due to simplicity, compactness, stable radiation pattern throughout the entire bandwidth are the key features of the presented design. Inclusion of Defective ground structure and asymmetric ring not only increases the bandwidth but also stabilize the gain and efficiency due to less surface current. Presented design launch an Ultra Wide Band antenna with sufficient band rejection at 4.48-5.34 and 5.64-8.33 GHz with stable radiation pattern and high gain.

A novel design of an ultra-wideband (UWB) slot antenna is presented. This antenna operates as a transmitter and receiver antenna. Effects of the antenna dimensional parameters are studied through experimental and simulation results. Design procedures are developed and verified for different frequency bands. The experimental and simulation results exhibit good impedance bandwidth, radiation pattern, and relatively constant gain over the entire band of frequency. Antenna gain and directivity at boresight and in their maximum states are close to each other and indicate high radiation efficiency. To use the antenna as a linearly polarized antenna, the radiation pattern in E-plane is better thanthat inH-plane.

The article is devoted to the development of a printed ultra-wideband miniature antenna that can be used for microwave radiometry. An antenna design with a ring-shaped radiator has been proposed, which provides reception of microwave radiation from biological tissues in the 1800–4600 MHz range. The results of mathematical modeling of the antenna electromagnetic field in biological tissues using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method are presented. Optimization of the antenna design has been carried out to ensure acceptable matching parameters and optimal antenna functionality. The developed antenna has a height of 6 mm and a calculated mass of 5 g; it is planned to manufacture a dielectric substrate based on PDMS polymer with the addition of barium titanate. The issues of calculating the antenna parameters (measurement depth, resolution and distribution of radiation power over the volume of biological tissue, sensitivity, etc.) are considered. The research results and design parameters of the developed antenna demonstrated the effectiveness of the new antenna and the possibility of its adaptation to the object of research. Considering the presence of an ultra-wide band and miniature dimensions, the antenna can be a sensor of a multi-frequency multi-channel microwave radiothermograph
