Compact Broadband Antenna with Vicsek Fractal Slots for WLAN and WiMAX Applications
This paper aims to design a compact broadband antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WIMAX) applications. The suggested antenna consists of an octagonal radiator with Vicsek fractal slots and a partial ground plane, it is printed on FR-4 dielectric substrate, and its global dimension is 50 x 50 x 1.6 mm(3). The antenna is designed and constructed using both CST MICROWAVE STUDIO(R) and CADFEKO electromagnetic solver, and in order to validate the acquired simulation results, the antenna is manufactured and tested using vector network analyzer E5071C. The measurement results show that the designed antenna attains a broadband bandwidth (S-11 < -10 dB) from 2.48 to 6.7 GHz resonating at 3.6 and 5.3 GHz, respectively. The broadband bandwidth covers the two required bands: WiMAX at the frequencies 2.3/2.5/3.3/3.5/5/5.5 GHz and WLAN at the frequencies 3.6/2.4-2.5/4.9-5.9 GHz. In addition, the suggested antenna provides good gains of 2.78 dBi and 5.32 dBi, omnidirectional measured radiation patterns in the E-plane and the H-plane and high efficiencies of 88.5% and 84.6% at the resonant frequencies. A close agreement of about 90% between simulation and measurement results is noticed

Circuit models of Lossy Coaxial Shielded cables to Analyze Radiated and Conducted Susceptibilities with unmatched line loads
Abstract This paper presents a circuit models to analyze the variation effects of incident plane wave on shielded coaxial cables, using Branin's method, which is called the method of characteristics. The model can be directly used for the time-domain and frequency-domain analyses and for all arbitrarily loaded. This makes it easy to insert in circuit simulators, such as SPICE, SABER, and ESACAP. The obtained results are in good agreement with those from others methods. Finally, we will discuss the effects of the variation of the incident plane wave
