An Inter digital- Poison Ivy Leaf Shaped Filtenna with Multiple Defects in Ground for S-Band bandwidth Applications

The proposed work, a filtenna for s band application is implemented. It is designed by embedding an Interdigital band pass filter (IDBPF) and leaf shaped antenna which are operated in S band. The IDFBPF is having seven resonators with one end shorted through dual vias. It offers a bandwidth of 1.3GHz from 1.65GHz to 2.95GHz.  A Dumbbell shaped DGS (Defected Ground Structure) provided in ground to improve the filter characteristics.  Measured pass (BRL) band return loss (S11) & insertion loss (S12) are -18dB & -4.6dB correspondingly. Further, leaf shaped antenna is designed based on modified polar transformation equation; it has 2.7 GHz bandwidth from 1.3 GH to 3 GHz and has a gain of -5.45dBi, and return loss (S11) of -19.5 dB. The filtenna is obtained by integrating the IDBBPF in the fodder line of the leaf designed antenna. The final model has 1.2 GHz operating bandwidth from 02.30 GHz to 03.50 GHz with peak arrival damages at 2.4GHz and 3.1GHz with -20dB and-24dB respectively. The designed filtenna has a pass band gain of -5.3dBi. The shift in operating band is due to combining the filter with antenna. The proposed model is invented on FR4 substrate having a wideness of 01.60 mm and having a dimension of 0.25 0.58 ?02. In this final model two complementary slip ring resonators (CSRR) are used in addition with four dumbbell structures as defects in the ground plane to avoid ripples in return loss (S11) graph. A high degree of concordance exists between empirically measured and simulated outcomes. The radiation band is showing its application in S band wireless mobile communications, Wi-Fi and ISM 2.4GHz band

Microstrip Line Fed Leaky Wave Antenna with Shorting Vias for Wideband Systems

In this work a complex structured shorted vias microstrip leaky wave antenna is designed and analysed. A Leaky wave antenna is a travelling wave structure with complex propagation constant. When shorting vias are loaded in a periodic structure the fundamental resonant mode shows some stop band characteristics and some of the modes will strongly attenuated. Three different types of iterations are examined in this work with and without defected ground structures. The defected ground structure based leaky wave antennas are showing better performance characteristics with respect to efficiency and phase. A micro strip line feeding with impedance of 50 ohms at both ports are providing excellent impedance matching to the conducting path on the microstrip surface. The shorting vias are suppressing certain higher order frequency bands and providing excellent wide band characteristics with low loss

A miniaturized printed UWB antenna with dual notching for X-b and and aeronautical radio navigation applications

A low cost miniaturized UWB microstrip antenna with dual notched band for X band and aeronautical radio navigation (ARN) is presented in this article. The antenna (19 16×"> 25 mm2) is composed of a half-circular ring as a radiation patch with an incomplete ground plane. The measured results indicate a fractional bandwidth of 112% for 16S11≤-"> 10 dB between 3 to 10.6 GHz. The dual notched band has been achieved by incorporating window shaped microstrip closed ring resonators at the rear surface of the designed structure. The first notch band is centered at 7.5 GHz (7 8.1 GHz) to reject interference with X-band downlink (7.25 to 7.74 GHz) and second band centered at 9.1 GHz (8.6 9.4 GHz) to reject interference with aeronautical radio navigation (ARN) (8.7 to 9.2 GHz). The simulated and measured return loss, radiation pattern, and gain shows good agreement which confirms the applicability of the designed antenna for the intended UWB applications
