    The capacitively coupled microstrip antenna for 4G and Wi-Fi applications is presented. The antenna has a compact size which can easily be installed into many types of wireless communication device. The antenna is designed on FR4 substrate with a total dimension of 70 mm × 9 mm × 0.8 mm. The structure of the antenna consists of two main parts. The T-shape feeding patch located between two radiating strips with the ground strip being placed behind them. The surface current distribution and parametric study was analyzed to determine the suitable parameters. Furthermore, the antenna prototype was fabricated and tested. The operating frequency range of the proposed antenna is between 1.7 GHz and 2.5 GHz for the |S11| of less than-10 dB. The antenna provides a linear polarization in a single beam direction covering approximately one quadrant of the free space with a maximum gain of higher than 1.47 dBi on the entire frequency band.

    This paper presents a chipless RFID sensor based on the curved meander line resonator. The sensor is designed and printed on Fr4-substrate with thickness of 0.8 mm. The resonator on the RFID sensor acts as a data bit for identification, where we use only one bit in this paper for illustration. Transmitting and receiving antennas on the RFID sensor are properly designed to sense the dielectric property of the material under test. From the results, it can operate from 1.8-2.5 GHz. The gain is 2.14 dBi at the resonant frequency of 2.28 GHz. Therefore, it can be candidate as a RFID sensor with a nondestructive testing technique.

    In microcellular communications, the transmitting antennas can be installed at low heights above the ground. However, even for low elevation towers, installation cost is still high. One of the possible ways for the deployment of base station antennas is to install them near the ground in order to do away with the tower. The main purpose of this paper is to suggest installation of the radiating antennas near the ground and tilting their orientation toward the sky - a totally nonintuitive solution. It will be shown that such deployments have the potential of reducing slow fading and can further enhance the signal strength close to the radiating antenna. This paper provides measured data for the received fields to validate the theoretical conjecture of such a deployment in various environments. The measured results are presented for 245, 800, 1000, and 2400 MHz. It is illustrated that such an unorthodox deployment can result in a low cost for the installation of base station antenna as the towers are not necessary. This can be useful in restoring communications in emergency situations where minimum infrastructure exists.

    In this paper, a compact dual-band antenna for 2.45/5.5 GHz WLAN applications is presented. Geometry of a presented antenna consists of a circular-slot printed on a circular monopole with a partial ground plane, operated at 2.45 GHz and 5.5 GHz bands, respectively. It is constructed by using FR-4 substrates with ϵ<inf>r</inf> of 43 and 0.035 mm copper layer thickness. This antenna is compact with a size of 70 mm×80 mm×1.6 mm, and it is capable to easily integrate with other circuits. It is shown that this proposed antenna wholly covers the required bandwidths ranging from 2.4-2.485 GHz and 5.15-5.825 GHz with desirable radiation characteristics and magnitude of S<inf>11</inf> better than -10dB. To verify the simulation, an antenna prototype was made up and measured. Obviously, the simulation results are in well acceptance with the measured one.

    This paper is aimed at developing an approximate and relatively simple but closed-form uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (UTD) solution for describing the radiated and scattered fields by an antenna near a complex platform consisting of a three-dimensional (3-D) thin material-coated metallic surface, including edges and corners. Unlike the previous works that consider primarily plane wave scattering, the developed solution can also treat radiation/scattering problems of antennas near finite material-coated metallic surfaces which are composed of edges and corners. The developed solution, which is formulated by using a heuristic approach, recovers the proper local plane wave Fresnel reflection coefficient. In addition, the developed UTD-diffracted fields will satisfy the radiation condition, boundary conditions on the conductor. The accuracy of the developed solution is verified by comparing with simulation results from a computer software. It is found that the results from our developed solution agree well with those of references. However, some small discrepancies occur but it is good enough for engineering applications. The proposed solution can be very useful for antenna engineers to design multiple antennas with an electrically large complex material-coated platform.

    This paper presents a gain improvement of dual-band antenna for 2.45/5.5 GHz WLAN applications. The radiating element of the proposed antenna consists of a circular disc monopole with circular-slot laid on FR-4 substrate and backed by a partial ground plane. This partial ground plane is modified to improve its radiation performance. This proposed antenna operates over the frequencies of 2.4-2.485 GHz and 5.15-5.825 GHz with nice radiation characteristics and magnitude of S11 better than -10 dB. An EM simulator has been used in the design and simulation. In addition, an experimental validation was set and measured to compare with the simulated results. All numerical results will be reported and discussed in the paper.

    This paper presents a design and measurement of symmetric bidirectional pattern antenna implemented by using a probe-fed open-ended rectangular waveguide (OERW) vertically attached with four-stacked-coupling-aperture (FSCA). For the OERW without FSCA, it provides asymmetric beam in forwards and backwards directions. With the effect of FSCA, that asymmetry is amended to be symmetry, and propagates the WLAN frequency band of 2.4–2.5 GHz with the return loss better than 10 dB, and maximum gain of 7.04 dBi. A prototype antenna was fabricated and measured. Obviously, the preliminary measured results are very reassuring, and reasonably in good agreement with simulation results.

    This research presents a triband compact printed antenna for WLAN and WiMAX applications. The antenna structure consists of a folded open stub, long and short L-shaped strips, and asymmetric trapezoid ground plane. Besides, it is of simple structure and operable in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (5.2/5.8 GHz) WLAN and 3.5/5.5 GHz WiMAX bands. The folded open stub and long and short L-shaped strips realize impedance matching at 2.4, 3.5, 5.2, and 5.8 GHz, and the asymmetric trapezoid ground plane fine-tunes impedance matching at 5.2, 5.5, and 5.8 GHz. In addition, the equivalent circuit model consolidated into lumped elements is also presented to explain its impedance matching characteristics. In this study, simulations were carried out, and a prototype antenna was fabricated and experimented. The simulation and experimental results are in good agreement. Specifically, the simulated and experimental radiation patterns are omnidirectional at 2.4, 3.5, and 5.2 GHz and near-omnidirectional at 5.5 and 5.8 GHz. Furthermore, the simulated and measured antenna gains are 1.269-3.074 dBi and 1.10-2.80 dBi, respectively. Essentially, the triband compact printed antenna covers 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (5.2/5.8 GHz) WLAN and 3.5/5.5 GHz WiMAX frequency bands and thereby is a good candidate for WLAN/WiMAX applications.
