    This research proposes a low-profile ultrawideband circularly polarized Archimedean spiral antenna with an electromagnetic band gap (EBG)-backed structure. The proposed antenna scheme consists of an upper-layer spiral radiator, a microstrip tapered balun, and a lower-layer high-impedance circular EBG reflector of three concentric rings of trapezoid-shaped unit cells. The antenna scheme can achieve a significant profile reduction, with a total height of 0.1 wavelengths at the lowest operational frequency. The integration of the EBG reflector improves the radiation characteristics and antenna gain, achieving a maximum gain of 9.87 dBic at 6.90 GHz. The EBG reflector also improves impedance matching and axial ratio (AR) over the 1.5–8.75 GHz frequency range, achieving a wide AR bandwidth of 141.46%. The novelty of this work lies in the integration of Archimedean spiral antenna with high-impedance EBG reflector of trapezoid-shaped unit cells to enhance the impedance and AR bandwidths without increasing the overall antenna profile. Essentially, the proposed antenna scheme is suitable for broadband communication systems that require ultrawide bandwidth, circular polarization, and a small form factor.

    This study presents a novel two-array MTS-gridded MIMO antenna with dual circular polarization (CP) bidirectional capabilities for full-duplex communications. The proposed antenna consists of two mirrored clusters, each comprising a single-element antenna formed by a 3 × 4 MTS-gridded element array, a circular patch, and a ground plane. The antenna demonstrates a wide measured return loss bandwidth (RLBW) of 56.46% (5 - 8.67 GHz), axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 18.15% (6.26 - 7.44 GHz), and strong isolation below -22 dB. Peak gains of 6.5 dBic and 6.55 dBic were observed at 6.6 GHz and 6.54 GHz for Ports 1 and 2, respectively. Furthermore, the low envelope correlation coefficient (< 0.005) and high diversity gain (> 9.985 dB) validate its effectiveness for multi-port applications. The bidirectional radiation pattern and dual circular polarization support simultaneous transmission and reception, making the design well-suited for full-duplex MIMO operation.

    This paper presents a four-cluster dual-band circularly polarized (CP) metasurface (MTS)-array antenna integrated with a sequential-phase feed (SPF) network for C-band applications. The antenna is implemented on dual-layer FR-4 substrates, incorporating both big- and small-sized MTS-array elements per cluster, with a tilted square-slot ground plane and microstrip-line feed. The SPF network excites each cluster with equal amplitude and 90<sup>°</sup> phase shifts, significantly enhancing return loss bandwidth (RLBW), axial ratio bandwidth, and realized gain. The simulated results demonstrate RLBW of 3.08 - 4.51 GHz and 4.94 - 8 GHz, and ARBWs of 3.08 - 4.66 GHz and 5.27 - 6.42 GHz for the lower and higher operating bands, respectively. The corresponding highest RHCP gains are 6.15 dBic at 3.8 GHz and 4 dBic at 6 GHz. The proposed antenna design achieves bi-directional radiation patterns and shows substantial performance improvements over conventional dual-band CP MTS-array antennas.

    This paper presents the conceivable design of a wideband unidirectional antenna suitable for CubeSat applications operating in the S-band frequency ranges of 2.025-2.110 GHz (uplink band) and 2.200-2.290 GHz (downlink band). The antenna employs a truncated microstrip patch design combined with additional parasitic patches to achieve circular polarization. It is printed on an RT/duroid<sup>®</sup> 5880 substrate with a thickness of 0.6 mm and a relative permittivity of 2.2. The design consists of a central truncated radiating patch and four segment-circular parasitic patches, positioned near the edges of the substrate to enhance bandwidth and axial ratio performance, which is crucial for achieving circular polarization. The antenna is excited using a coaxial probe feed to ensure efficient energy transfer and proper impedance matching. Simulation results demonstrate that the antenna achieves a wide impedance bandwidth covering 1.80 GHz to 2.40 GHz with a reflection coefficient (|S11|) below -10 dB. The axial ratio remains below 3 dB across the frequency range of 2.025 GHz to 2.290 GHz, confirming circular polarization, with a minimum axial ratio of 1.34 dB at 2.25 GHz. Additionally, the antenna exhibits a stable gain of approximately 7.28 dBic at 2.15 GHz, making it suitable for CubeSat communication systems requiring reliable and efficient signal transmission. To further strengthen the contribution of this research, a performance comparison with existing CubeSat antennas is provided, along with a discussion of potential environmental impacts in space, such as temperature variations and radiation effects. Future work will focus on prototyping, experimental validation, and optimizing the antenna design for different mission scenarios, including scaling for other frequency bands and multi-antenna configurations.

    This paper proposes a low-profile high-gain dual-band reverse S-patch antenna scheme that supports fifth-generation (5G) frequency bands for mobile base stations. In the antenna design, a reverse S-shaped radiation patch is used to achieve resonant at 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz, and an FR4 dielectric superstrate is included to enhance the antenna gain. The results show that the proposed reverse S-patch antenna scheme with dielectric superstate resonates at both target frequencies, covering 2.57-2.62 GHz and 3.46-3.55 GHz with unidirectional radiation pattern. The measured antenna gain are 5.0 dBi at 2.6 GHz and 4.0 dBi at 3.5 GHz. In essence, the proposed antenna scheme can be further developed into an array antenna with enhanced gain for 5G mobile base stations. The novelty of this research lies in the use of FR4 dielectric superstrate to enhance the antenna gain.

    This study presents a corner-truncated patch antenna with symmetrically loaded parasitic elements and a circular feed slot designed for CubeSat S-band communication applications. The antenna design evolves through successive stages, integrating corner truncations, a slit-ring structure, and segment-circular parasitic patches to enhance impedance matching and polarization performance. In its final configuration, a dual-stacked arrangement with inter-substrate spacing and a vertical capacitive feed further improves current distribution symmetry and broadens the operational bandwidth. Parametric analysis validates the effectiveness of each antenna design refinement, demonstrating improvements in impedance bandwidth, axial ratio bandwidth, and gain performance. The fabricated prototype achieves a wide impedance bandwidth from 1.65 GHz to 2.70 GHz, fully encompassing the CubeSat uplink (2.025–2.110 GHz) and downlink (2.200–2.290 GHz) frequency ranges. It maintains an axial ratio below 3 dB across 1.97 GHz to 2.32 GHz, ensuring efficient circular polarization. Additionally, a stable gain of approximately 7.50 dBic at 2.025 GHz supports reliable communication with ground stations. The combination of compact structure, low profile, and wideband circular polarization makes the proposed antenna a promising candidate for CubeSat communication systems. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of a corner-truncated patch, symmetrically loaded segment-circular parasitic elements, and a circular slit-ring capacitive feed within a dual-stacked substrate configuration to achieve wideband circular polarization and stable unidirectional radiation.

    This study proposed a single-layer, compact, dual-port meta-surface multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Coupling between ports is effectively minimized using pin vias, which connects the meta-surface to the ground plane and functions as an LC resonator circuit to suppress useless frequencies. Here, L and C represent inductance and capacitance, respectively. Additionally, pin vias reduces mutual coupling by mitigating concentrated current distributions on the meta-surface components, achieving high isolation. The simulated results reveal a return loss bandwidth (RLBW) spanning 3.76-7.4 GHz (70% at a center frequency of 5.2 GHz) with isolation (S<inf>12</inf>) exceeding 19 dB. Furthermore, the envelope correlation coefficient is below 0.035, and the diversity gain reaches 9.82 dB. The antenna achieves a maximum gain of 5.54 dBi at 4.3 GHz. This demonstrates that the pin vias decoupling technique is highly effective for coupling reduction in meta-surface MIMO antennas.

    This paper proposes a prism-shaped dielectric resonator (DR) -based antenna with circularly polarized (CP) characteristics for C-band wireless systems. This antenna comprised a prism-shaped DR and single-layer substrate. The prism-shaped DR is on the upper-side substrate. Besides, a rod-shaped probe was plugged into a DR and connected by an SMA connector on the lower-side substrate. A loop-shaped metasurface-enhanced reflector is employed to improve bandwidth (i.e., RLBW and ARBW) and antenna gain. A regularly spaced array of 7 × 7 loop-shaped metasurface unit structures is positioned on the upper substrate side. The simulation RLBW and ARBW results at 5.8 GHz (center frequency) are 34% (5.22 - 7.2 GHz) and 16% (5.27 - 6.2 GHz). This antenna radiates left-hand circular polarization with an optimal maximum gain at 5.5 GHz of 6.7 dBic, making it suitable for C-band wireless networks.
