This paper presents the development of a handset adaptive antenna using a constant modulus algorithm (CMA). The antenna is a switched-beam phased array antenna which can assist initialization of CMA. The method to improve convergence property of CMA exploits a beam with maximum received power from several switched-beams of the antenna as an initial beam. A square patch of one wavelength width provides...
A microstrip antenna (MSA) has a number of useful properties. However, its narrow bandwidth characteristic is disadvantage in applying to practical wireless systems. Some of the conventional techniques for widening bandwidth for the MSA are using thick structures, adding parasitic patches or using electromagnetically coupled feed. In this paper, we proposed a folded inverted L-shaped probe (FILP)...
In this paper, a small antenna for the applications of GPS and DCS systems by utilizing the CPW feeding structure is proposed to provide the LP and CP radiation patterns. The CPW feeding structure possesses the advantages, such as low radiation loss, less dissipation, uniplanar structure without the ground plane, and easy integration with RF/microwave circuits, enabling a miniature hybrid or monolithic...
A wideband circularly polarized (CP) slot antenna with L-slot and L-shaped feed is designed. Wideband CP is obtained by truncating a corner of the antenna element, and by exciting the L-slot with asymmetric L-shaped feed line. This geometry introduces orthogonal components with quadrature phase difference to excite circularly polarized wave. The antenna attains an overlapped bandwidth (axial ratio...
A modified truncated square patch antenna of different quad L-shaped slits having electromagnetic coupling feed operating at S-band has been presented. The antennas are compact in size and exhibits linear polarization, in comparison to its basic truncated patch that has circular-polarization capability. It was found that all configurations operate well at their frequencies of operations, however,...
In this paper, we propose a PIFA based multiband internal antenna that can support seven frequency bands. The antenna is designed to operate at GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications, 880-980 MHz), PCS (Personal Communication Services, 1880-1990 MHz), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, 1.9-2.17 GHz), WiBro (2300-2390 MHz), Bluetooth (2.4-2.48 GHz), S-DMB (Satellite-Digital Multimedia...
In this paper, the UHF RFID tag antenna which has a SRR as a radiating part and inductively coupled feeding method are analyzed and designed. By using a SRR, the antenna size can be reduced and using an inductively coupled feeding method, we can obtain a wide bandwidth and a simple matching technique to directly attach to a tag chip. Also equivalent circuit model of the tag antenna is presented and...
A novel wearable antenna for wireless communications is presented in this paper. This paper has discussed the possibility of employing a belt buckle as an antenna, bringing benefits such as removability and the ability to hand portable wireless devices from the belt itself. The antenna consists of a belt buckle, hinge, denim waist band and electrical connections. The antenna was fed by a microstrip...
It is well known that a monopole antenna above a ground plane radiates an omni-directional beam around its axis. The height of this monopole can be reduced by using top-loading techniques. One such technique involves attaching a patch to the top of a monopole for use as a microwave antenna. In this case the structure is recognized as a low-profile, center-fed patch antenna. When the antenna height...
The UWB antennas are proposed for applications of communication systems, various kinds of antenna test ranges, and high resolution microwave imaging. The narrower instantaneous bandwidth of UWB antennas will degrade the performance of the above applications. By using different characteristic of geometries, structures and sizes, good impedance bandwidth and instantaneous bandwidth can be achieved for...
