Antenna for metal body mobile devices
There is an increased demand of metal back cover mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops. This constrains the antenna design and leaves very small area for antennas. Another practical problem seen is reduction in volume av...
Band gap analysis of a novel C slot electromagnetic band gap structure
Electromagnetic band gap structures, also called as artificial magnetic conductors or high impedance surfaces play vital role in antenna design due to their peculiar electromagnetic properties. This paper presents a novel C slot EBG structu...
Design of SIW fed antipodal linearly tapered slot antenna array with hat-shaped dielectric loading for 60 GHz wireless communications
Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) based antipodal linear tapered slot antenna (ALTSA) with dielectric loading at 60 GHz for wireless communication applications are presented. The hat shaped dielectric loaded ALTSA has gain of 17.29 dB wi...
Synthesis of non-uniformly spaced planar array geometry using Differential Evolution algorithm
In this paper, non-uniformly spaced planar antenna arrays (NUSPAA) of different geometry with uniform excitation is considered for minimization of maximum side lobe level (SLL). Configuring different planar array geometries only by switchin...
SIW periodic leaky wave antenna with improved H-plane radiation pattern using baffles
A conventional transverse slot substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) periodic leaky wave antenna (LWA) provides a fan beam, usually E-plane beam having narrow beam width and H-plane having wider beamwidth. The main beam direction changes wit...
Gain enhancement of millimeter wave antenna using superstrate
An aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna with high gain operating at 60 GHz is demonstrated for millimeter wave applications. Such patch antennas traditionally suffer from low gain. This drawback is addresses by enhancing the gain throu...
Design of modified reconfigurable RIS and its application in patch antenna miniaturization
This paper proposes the use of a modified frequency reconfigurable Reactive Impedance Surface (RIS) for miniaturization of patch antennas. A periodic array of square patches with slot etched within has been used to realize the RIS. The imag...
