A review of microstrip antenna designs for TV white space applications

Abstract

<p><span>A review on prominent microstrip antennas fabricated for TV White Space applications is presented. This paper will delve into some of the most notable microstrip antenna designs in this frequency band that have come up in recent years. They will be analyzed to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and feedback is provided on their perceived usefulness. These antennas are designed with specific intentions, such as being placed in areas prone to harsh weather, or for long distance communications. One of the most recent antenna types to enter mainstream discussion is the microstrip patch antenna, which can easily be altered to fit various applications. Methods of connectivity such as TV White Space are enthusiastically used in various applications pertaining to connectivity and various microstrip antennas have been designed for this purpose. A conclusion was reached on the compact shorted printed monopole antenna being the most plausible choice from the antennas that have been considered and discussed.</span></p>

Investigation and measurement of square strip line antenna design and characteristic mode analysis for 5G/WiFi/WLAN applications

“…Unlike traditional methods requiring source excitation, CMA offers two options for finding the natural Characteristic modes of a conducting body, namely, with or without source excitation, making it easier for designers to observe or excite a particular characteristic mode and comprehend the electromagnetic behavior of the structure as a whole, offering antenna designers a more systematic and efficient design approach than the traditional iterative approach. For further information, refer to these research works [12,[25][26][27].…”

Design and Analysis of a Microstrip Patch Antenna for TV White Space Data Applications

“…Furthermore, the geometrical configurations antenna that ranges from rectangular, circular, and triangular shapes can be easily modified and can tune to the parameters needed which includes bandwidth and operating frequency [5]. In [6], a review of microstrip antenna designs for TVWS applications shows three wideband antennas wherein the shorted printed monopole antenna provides the highest gain of 2 dB to 4 dB with dimensions of 160 mm x 170 mm [7]. A 59 mm x 115 mm antenna was designed in [8] with a half bow-tie antenna printed with slots that provide a 50% total radiation efficiency at 470 MHz to 860 MHz.…”
