A Novel Coplanar Waveguide-Fed Compact Microstrip Antenna for Future 5G Applications

In this study, a coplanar waveguide-fed compact microstrip antenna design for applications operating at higher 5G bands was proposed. The antenna with the compact size of 8 x 12.2 mm2 on FR4 substrate, having the dielectric constant of 4.3 and the height of 1.55 mm, was considered. The dimensions of the radiating patch and ground plane were optimized with the use of artificial cooperative search (ACS) algorithm to provide the desired return loss performance of the designed antenna. The performance analysis was done by using full-wave electromagnetic package programs based on the method of moment (MoM) and the finite integration technique (FIT). The 10 dB bandwidth for return loss results obtained with the use of the computation methods show that the proposed antenna performs well for 5G applications operating in the 24.25 – 27.50 GHz, 26.50 – 29.50 GHz, 27.50 – 28.35 GHz and 37 – 40 GHz frequency bands.

Compact Micro Patch antenna with F Shape Extension DGS

This work describes a compact microstrip antenna design for wide bandwidth applications. The proposed work introduces a methodology to improve the bandwidth, as well return loss by the defective ground structure (Extended F-Shape). As communication systems require small size, broadband and multiband frequency antennas, an inset line feed monopoles have to be ensured for fabricating broadband antennas. Intensive investigations are carried out in the proposed work to design a new antenna with broadband and multi-band properties. Simulations are performed by using the Ansoft HFSS Electromagnetic Simulation Software.

A Novel Compact Microstrip Antenna with an Embeddedλ/4 Resonator

In this paper, a novel design of compact microstrip antenna (MA) using an embeddedλ/4 resonator is presented. By utilizing the strong coupling between theλ/4 resonator and the radiation patch of MA, the resonant frequency of MA can be decreased. Besides, theλ/4 resonator is embedded in the patch, which does not enlarge the whole size of MA. Therefore, a compact antenna can be realized. In this paper, after the principle is stated, a sample antenna has been manufactured and measured to prove the predicted characteristics of our proposed antenna. The measurement agrees well with the simulation. Hence, the proposed method in this paper is quite suitable for the design of a compact antenna.

Compact Microstrip Antenna Design for 5G Communication in Millimeter Wave at 28 GHz

In this study, we proposed a compact microstrip monopole antenna, can operating in millimeter wave communication. It is consisted of FR4 with thickness of 1.6mm and it was designed as planar-fed single-band by placing rectangular slots on square patch, as a simple and compact structure. Thus, the proposed antenna was simulated in the Ansys HFSS module and various antenna parameters such as radiation performance and antenna gain were obtained in a single frequency range. The return-loss bandwidth was measured as 716 MHz centering at 28 GHz, covering the required bandwidth of 5G standard, as a reference of -10 dB..

Direct and electromagnetically coupled compact microstrip antenna design with modified fractal DGS

This article proposes ultra-miniature microstrip patches with direct and electromagnetically coupled feeding mechanism for wireless communications at 10 GHz. Antenna size reduction is achieved here by loading a modified Minkowski fractal (type-2) defected ground structure (MFDGS-II) exactly beneath the radiating patch. The proposed method involves the selection of best DGS configuration through sensitivity analysis of the antenna structure. From different applications point of view, three different designs: a single layer direct fed patch and two electromagnetically coupled fed multi-layered microstrip patch antennas are proposed here and designed with MFDGS-II. The resonant frequencies of the antenna designs are reduced in a significant manner incorporating MFDGS-II without any change in the physical size of the antenna. The prototypes of the proposed antennas are fabricated, and the performance parameters are measured. Compared with other existing structures, with a lower patch size of 0.20 λ0 × 0.15 λ0, the proposed single layered antenna with microstrip feed achieves a patch size reduction up to 67% and an overall volumetric reduction of 84%, respectively. Similarly, the proposed multi-layered patch with proximity feed exhibits a maximum impedance bandwidth of 600 MHz and the aperture coupled fed patch has a realized gain of 6.2 dBi with radiation efficiency of 91% centered at 10 GHz. All three proposed compact antenna structures are best in three different aspects and have the potential to meet the practical requirements for X-band portable wireless applications.

Compact Microstrip Antenna Structures with Multiband, Broadband, and Band-Notched Properties, for Portable Devices

It is difficult to list all the current applications for microstrip antennas; it could be said that they are the transducers that control modern life. Yet, every year, new applications are required which challenge the performance limits of current designs. Some of those challenges are associated with controlling the spectrum performance and continuing to seek techniques to tailor the shape to the applications. This special issue brings some of the latest thinking in compact microstrip antenna design. However, the variety of approaches presented in the papers shows the possibilities that exist for future developments: this special issue is as much about setting out possibilities as it is about presenting new thinking. The papers in this special issue are as follows. An approach to design microstrip antennas is presented in “Design of arbitrarily shaped planar microstrip antenna arrays with improved efficiency” which considers improved radiation efficiency. Focusing on the application areas of Bluetooth and WLAN, a dual-band planar inverted-E antenna (PIEA) is presented in “Compact dual-band planar inverted-eshaped antenna using defected ground structure” with a novel ground. A mesh grid structure planar wideband zero index metamaterial (ZIM) antenna is presented in “Zero index metamaterial for designing high-gain patch antenna” that provides a bandwidth of 9.9GHz to 11.4 GHz.An arc H-shaped slot on the radiating patch provides dual bandnotched characteristics which is discussed in “Design and analysis of a novel dual band-notched UWB antenna.” The paper entitled “Printed modified bow-tie dipole antenna for DVB/WLAN applications” presents a printed modified bow-tie dipole antenna which consists of asymmetric feed and inserted slots. A frequency range of 3.1– 10.6GHz is achieved by an antenna of only 30mm × 36mm and is discussed in “A compact UWB diversity antenna.” Amodified compact planar ultrawideband (UWB) monopole antenna with triple controllable band-notched characteristics is presented in “A compact planar UWB antenna with triple controllable band-notched characteristics,” which consists of a modified staircased V-shaped radiating element and partial ground plane. The radiation pattern is controlled using elliptical and rectangular patches, which is discussed in “A compact size 4–19.1 GHz heart shape UWB antenna with triangular patches.”

Design of compact microstrip antennas using a modified ground plane

A method for simultaneously enhancing the bandwidth and reducing the size of microstrip antennas (MSAs) using a modified ground plane (GP) has been proposed with design formulas.A comb-shaped truncated GP is used for this purpose. This method provides an overall compactness up to 85% for proximity-coupled MSAs in the frequency range of 900 MHz–5.5 GHz with an improvement in bandwidth up to seven times when compared with the conventional ones. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A compact microstrip antenna with meandering slots in the ground plane

AbstractA novel compact microstrip antenna design is demonstrated. By embedding meandering slots in the antenna's ground plane, it is observed that the resonant frequency of the microstrip antenna is significantly lowered, which can lead to a large antenna size reduction for a fixed frequency operation. In addition, enhanced impedance bandwidth and antenna gain are also observed for the proposed antenna. Details of the proposed design and experimental results of the constructed prototypes are presented and discussed. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 29: 95–97, 2001.
