A compact conformal planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) array, working at UHF band, is presented in this paper. This array consists of four PIFA elements. The parallel feeding network has been designed to drive the elements. The size of the proposed array is 100.5 mm × 48 mm. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a very thin substrate with a thickness of 0.254 mm, which is benefit for conformal structure...
The planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) is widely used in mobile and portable radio systems due to its excellent features. However, it is not yet employed as an ultra wide band antenna because it was considered a narrowband antenna. This paper introduces an ultra wideband planar inverted-F antenna based on three techniques, which are (a) changes in the widths of feed and shorting plates, (b) addition...
Over the past 10 years or so, many broadband and ultra-wideband antennas have been developed for broadband high data rate mobile communications. It is realized how to make efficient and accurate measurements for such antennas could be a challenging issue. In this paper, we examine the antenna efficiency measurement techniques which have been used up to now, and identify their advantages and disadvantages...
Many monopole UWB antennas have been developed over the years. One common problem is that their performance is heavily affected by the ground plane. In this paper, a new approach on how to reduce the ground plane effects on such antennas is proposed: L-shape cuts on the edge of the ground plane are introduced and it is shown that this method changes the current distribution on the ground plane without...
In this paper, we present a further investigation of microstrip-fed planar UWB monopole antennas using both the numerical and experimental approaches. The focus is on the characteristic mode analysis and the optimisation of the monopole design in term of its size and S11 performance. A comparison of elliptical and circular monopoles is also conducted.
Recently, Wheeler cap method was extended to measure wideband antennas. This paper presents an investigation on the effects of the loss of wheeler cap on antenna efficiency measurement results. Two caps/cavities (one large and one small) are employed for this study and numerical simulation is also conducted to aid the analysis. Both the experimental and numerical results show the loss due to the imperfection...
