Microwave antennas with wide bandwidths have many applications in satellite links, sensor systems and radio astronomy applications etc. Tapered slot antennas are often preferred in this frequency range as they easy for circuit integration. Vivaldi antenna is one such structure which has wide band width and end fire Radiation pattern. But all the antenna designs may not yield a perfectly end-fire pattern with no side-lobes. Hence a technique to suppress side-lobes present in the radiation pattern is discussed in this paper. This paper emphasises on usage of dielectric properties of the substrate on which antenna is built to improve the radiation pattern of antenna.I.
In this article, the rectangular textile antenna is embedded with E-shape Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) Structure for reduction of SAR. It is positioned on human phantom model. The E-shape EBG array is positioned between ground and patch of rectangular textile antenna. It is resonant at 2. 4GHz.The substrate material for the rectangular Textile antenna is jeans cloth. The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), Reflection coefficient and Impedance Bandwidth are obtained with and without EBG structure using HFSS software and also measured.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
