In this work, we present a new configuration of a new miniature microstrip antenna array having a wide frequency band and with a circular polarization. The bandwidth is about 2GHz for a reflection coefficient under -10dB and centered on the ISM ‘Industrial Scientific Medical’ band at 5.8 GHz. To design such array, we have started the design by validating one antenna element at 10 GHz and after that by using the technique of defected ground, we have validated the antenna array in the frequency band [4 GHz -6 GHz] which will permit to miniature the dimensions. The final fabricated antenna array is mounted on an FR4 substrate, the whole area is 102.48 X 31.39 mm<sup>2</sup> with a gain of 5dBi at 4GHz.
This paper presents a synthesis, design, and simulation of a bandpass rectangular waveguide filter with symmetrical transverse discontinuities operating in the X-band (WR90) with a central frequency of 11GHz, a fractional bandwidth of 3.1%, an undulation ripple of 0.014 dB inside the bandwidth, and a return loss level around 15 dB. The simulation is effectuated under the HFSS environment, where the results of the S-parameters in dB and degree were verified using a CST environment. The obtained results had proven the validity of the conception of our structure since it has shown a symmetrical aspect around the central frequency in both 3D simulators after optimizing the overall dimensions of the irises, also our study has proved that irises are a reliable way to design bandpass filters especially, where their dimensions mainly affect the filter response in terms of the return loss quantity, the insertion loss, and the filter’s bandwidth.
In this chapter, the authors present different techniques used to miniature microstrip antennas, particularly planar antennas array, for different applications demanding small dimensions. This will cover DGS, slot technique, and metamaterials. After the presentation of these techniques based on theoretical studies, the second part of this chapter will be about the authors' contribution in the miniaturization of microstrip antennas arrays. This part will include the presentation of some miniature antennas array which they have validated into simulation and measurement by using DGS techniques. The different structures were validated into simulation by using tow electromagnetic solvers ADS (advanced design system) and CST-MW (computer simulation technology) which permit one to validate and to verify the different performances of antennas arrays as radiation pattern, matching input impedance and small dimensions.
