In this paper, a compact triple-band coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed patch antenna with dual-polarization characteristics for wireless applications is proposed. The antenna is composed of an F-shaped patch, a grounded-C strip, a rectangular strip, and a horizontal rectangular grounded slot. The first circular polarized band is obtained by the F-shaped feed-line, and the second is achieved by the left C-shaped strip, while the right rectangle strip is responsible for the lower linearly polarized band. By inserting a slot at the right of the square slot, a notched band centered at 5.5 GHz is achieved. Both simulated and experimental results show that the antenna can generate three separate impedance bandwidths to cover frequency bands of 2.4/5.2/5.8-GHz WLAN band and X band. And the antenna is circularly polarized in the 5.8 GHz and 10 GHz band. Furthermore, the antenna structure is extremely simple and occupies small space. The proposed antenna has its applications in compact and portable devices operating at multiple frequency bands like cellular phones, Tablets, Wi-Fi devices, etc.
This paper presents a 90 • broadband compact phase shifter which employs loaded λ/2 transmission line. By adding an H-shaped open stub loaded transmission line, the bandwidth of the phase shifter is broadened. Detailed theoretical analysis and circuit configuration are presented to explain the mechanism. The proposed phase shifter is fabricated and measured to validate the design principle. The simulated and measured results show that the proposed phase shifter achieves 6.6 to 19.4 GHz bandwidth with low phase instability ±5 • , very low insertion loss (0.3 dB in 7.5-15.2 GHz), high return loss (10 dB), and a compact size (12.8 mm×22 mm). Good agreements are observed between the measured and simulated results with small phase deviation. Moreover, the configuration of the proposed phase shifter is simple in both design and fabrication which makes the design suitable for actual applications.
