ISM band 1:16 wilkinson power divider

A 1:16 Wilkinson power divider (WPD) working from 1.3 GHz to 3 GHz is presented in this paper. Equal power division, phase and amplitude consistency is achieved among the output ports. The proposed design has a wideband with a 10 dB fractional bandwidth of 76%. The isolation loss within the bandwidth is better than 15 dB and the insertion loss is less than 2 dB. The size of the WPD has been minimized to 16×10,7 cm 2, which was the main objective of this work. The compact size of the proposed design makes it a suitable candidate for feeding phased antenna arrays for wideband operations.IEEEIEEE Karachi SectionPakistan Science FoundationInstitution of Engineers, Pakistan (IEP)Hamdard Foundatio

A high gain MIMO antenna for fixed satellite and radar applications

Patch antennas have emerged rapidly with advancement of communication technology. For antenna design purposes, Finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is a commonly used. This paper focuses on the interaction among elements of MIMO antenna also known as mutual coupling using FDTD method. An M shape is introduced and with placement of isolating structure, round about 12dB of isolation is increased without degradation of performance parameters. The proposed antenna design can be used for radar and satellite services applications

A Novel Hook-Shaped Antenna Operating at 28 GHz for Future 5G mmwave Applications

To address atmospheric attenuation and path loss issues in the mmwave portion of the spectrum, high gain and narrow beam antenna systems are essential for the next generation communication networks. This paper presents a novel hook-shaped antenna array for 28 GHz 5G mmwave applications. The proposed antenna was fabricated on commercially available Rogers 5880 substrate with thickness of 0.508 mm and dimensions of 10 × 8 mm2. The proposed shape consists of a circle with an arc-shaped slot on top of it and T-shaped resonating lengths are introduced in order to attain broad band characteristics having gain of 3.59 dBi with radiation and total efficiency of 92% and 86% for single element. The proposed structure is transformed into a four-element array with total size of 26.9 × 18.5 mm2 in order to increase the gain up to 10.3 dBi at desired frequency of interest. The four-element array is designed such that it exhibits dual-beam response over the entire band of interest and the simulated results agree with fabricated prototype measurements. The proposed antenna array, because of its robustness, high gain, and dual-beam characteristics can be considered as a potential candidate for the next generation 5G communication systems.This work was partially supported by RTI2018-095499-B-C31, Funded by Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Gobierno de España (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE)
