Parametric Study on the Compact G Shaped Monopole Antenna for 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz Application

Abstract—This paper describes the design of a compact printed microstrip G-shaped monopole antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN application). The antenna has G-shaped resonating element which is designed for the two resonance frequencies at 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz respectively, which are the operating bands for WLAN application. The antenna is constructed by a non-conductor backed G-shaped strip with a mircostrip feed line. The dual band performance can be easily achieved by finetuning the length of the resonant path. The antenna is designed and simulated by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Studio simulation software. The parametric study with five different ground lengths had been done using parametric sweep. The the measurement results will be compared and analyzed with the simulated antenna

Effect of PIN Diode Integration on Patch Antennas for Frequency Reconfigurable Antenna Applications

PIN diodes are commonly used to design reconfigurable antennas owing to their sufficient isolation, lower cost, and ease of fabrication. This study aims to explore the effect of biasing conditions of a PIN diode radio frequency (RF) switch on a frequency-reconfigurable antenna. This approach investigates the contribution of the forward diode current and the reversed biased voltage on the shift in the operating band, the impedance matching, and the radiation efficiency of a reconfigurable antenna. The benefits and drawbacks of different approaches to modeling PIN diode RF switches are demonstrated on Ansys electromagnetic switch. The result shows a significant match between simulated and measured operating bands, impedance matching, and radiation efficiency. The proposed RF switch model can be used as a practical simulation model for implementing various reconfigurable microwave components

A Capacitively loaded Antenna for use in Mobile Handsets

YesA tuneable slotted patch antenna design is presented and verified for use in the DCS, PCS and UMTS bands. The tuning circuit consists of two varactor diodes with some passive components, and is integrated fully with the r radiator patch, with the varactors occupying different locations over the slot. The tuning does not require any further modification to the patch or feed geometry. Good agreement is observed between the predicted and observed impedance bandwidth, return loss, gain and radiation pattern, throughout the range 1.70 GHz-2.05 GHz

WIRELESS ANTENNA MULTIPLEXING USING TUNABLE ANTENNA FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS

Recent development in communication technologies shifts the communication paradigm from point to point to multi-user wireless systems. These developments eased the use of mobile telephone, satellite services, 5G cellular, smart application, and the Internet of Things. The proliferation of mobile devices has necessitated an elaborate mechanism to serve multiple users over a shared communication medium, and a multiplexing approach is introduced to serve this purpose. Multiplexing refers to a method that aims at combining multiple signals into one signal such that each user would be able to extract its desired data upon receiving the multiplexed signal. This spectrum sharing allows wireless operators to maximize the use of their spectrum to accommodate a large number of users over fewer channels. In Space applications, where sensors like temperature, attitude, IR, Magnetic, etc. send information using antennas operate at a different frequency, there is a need to collect all or some of these data using a single device. A wideband antenna requires a filtering process in order to remove unwanted signals that lead to a complex circuit design. Furthermore, the use of multiple antennas ends up with a larger size and additional complexity. Therefore, the tunable antenna is an excellent candidate which provides a perfect solution for such scenarios. A tunable antenna whose frequency characteristics shifted by applying tuning action can be used to operate as a multiplexing device that can collect signals from different surrounding antennas; each operates at a fixed frequency. A system architecture for wireless multiplexing using a tunable antenna is proposed in this project. An electronically tunable antenna using varactor diode as a tuning element is used as the multiplexing device that can collect signals from different surrounding antennas. The system consists of an RF front end and a control circuit/system for wireless multiplexing. The RF front end consists of a tunable antenna, tunable phase shifter, tunable bandpass filter, low noise amplifier, mixer, voltage-controlled oscillator, and an intermediate frequency filter. The control unit comprises a microcontroller, DAC, CMOS oscillator, power module, and a USB interface for communication with custom-built software installed on a PC. The device has functions for control, digital signal processing, and de-multiplexing. The device is fed with an input multiplexed signal, and the de-multiplexed output signals are extracted and displayed on the graphical user interface of the software. Due to the reconfigurability and programmability of the device, it presents a flexible, cost-effective solution for a variety of real-world applications
