Compact And Broadband Microstrip Antennas

Compact microstrip antennas are of great importance in meeting the miniaturization requirements of modern portable communications equipment This book is a comprehensive treatment of design techniques and test data for current compact and broadband microstrip designs Summarizes the work of the author and his graduate students who have published over 80 refereed journal articles on the subject in the past few years Advanced designs reported by various other prestigious antenna designers are incorporated as well

A guide to broadband microstrip antennas, offering information to help you choose and design the optimum broadband microstrip antenna configurations for your applications, without sacrificing other antenna parameters. The text shows you how to take advantage of the light-weight, low volume benefits of these antennas, by providing explanations of the various configurations and simple design equations that help you analyze and design microstrip antennas with speed and confidence. This practical resource presents an understanding of the radiation mechanism and characteristics of microstrip antennas, and provides guidance on designing new types of planar monopole antennas with multi-octave bandwidth. The authors explore how to select and design proper broadband microstrip antenna configurations for compact, tunable, dual-band and circular polarization applications. Moreover, the work compares all the broadband techniques and suggests the most attractive configuration.

The increasing demand for wireless communications has revolutionised the lifestyle of today’s society and one of the key components of wireless technology is antenna design. Broadband planar antennas are the newest generation of antennas boasting the attractive features required, such as broad operating bandwidth, low profile, light weight, low cost and ease of integration into arrays or Radio Frequency (RF) circuits, to make them ideal components of modern communications systems. Research into small and broadband antennas has been spurred by the rapid development of portable wireless communication devices such as cell phones, laptops and personal digital assistants. This all-encompassing volume, Broadband Planar Antennas: Design and Applications, systematically describes the techniques for all planar antennas from microstrip patch antennas, suspended plate antennas and planar inverted-L/F antennas to planar dipole antennas. Also discussed are some of the most recent outcomes such as broadband antenna issues in promising ultra-wideband applications. Clearly describes the fundamentals of planar antennas and categorises them according to their radiation characteristics Introduces the advanced progress in broadband planar antennas for modern wireless communications Includes a wealth of case studies, design guidelines, figures and tables This text is essential reading for antenna, RF and microwave engineers and manufacturers within the telecommunications industry. Its highly accessible approach will also appeal to researchers, postgraduate students and academic lecturers.

Besides lot of advantages of Microstrip Patch Antenna some severe limitations like narrow bandwidth, low power output, low gain hindered it to use in some application specially where wideband, high gain & high power is essential. In modern days researchers are concentrated to overcome these limitations. The design of dual or multi-frequency patch antennas are also very much important because any one can use a single antenna instead of two or more antenna operating in the single frequency. Compact microstrip patch antenna design is also important in modern days as the area is a major constrained in the MMIC design. In this book new and novel approaches to design dual, multi-frequncy, compact and broadband microstrip patch antennas are discussed which are very new and published in different international journals by the author. This book constitutes of eight chapters among which first three chapters are about the basic concept and the last one is for major findings and future scope of work for the young researchers. Other four chapters are for novel approaches for designing different types of microstrip patch antennas.

Microstrip patch antennas have become the favorite of antenna designers because of its versatility and advantages of planar profile, ease of fabrication, compatibility with integrated circuit technology, and conformability with a shaped surface. As there is currently an urgent need for graduate students and practicing engineers to gain an in-depth understanding of this subject, this book was written with this purpose in mind. The authors are IEEE Fellows who have made significant contributions to their fields of expertise. Professor K F Lee was the recipient of the 2009 John Kraus Antenna Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society.

In the last 40 years, the microstrip antenna has been developed for many communication systems such as radars, sensors, wireless, satellite, broadcasting, ultra-wideband, radio frequency identifications (RFIDs), reader devices etc. The progress in modern wireless communication systems has dramatically increased the demand for microstrip antennas. In this book some recent advances in microstrip antennas are presented.

This two-volume book contains research work presented at the First International Conference on Data Engineering and Communication Technology (ICDECT) held during March 10–11, 2016 at Lavasa, Pune, Maharashtra, India. The book discusses recent research technologies and applications in the field of Computer Science, Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The aim of the Proceedings is to provide cutting-edge developments taking place in the field data engineering and communication technologies which will assist the researchers and practitioners from both academia as well as industry to advance their field of study.

The volume comprises best selected papers presented at International Conference on Wireless Communication (ICWiCOM) which is organized by Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering of D J Sanghvi College of Engineering.
