“…It is possible to increase the bandwidth by using multiple strips because the radiation resistance can be stepped up and the reactances can be made to cancel each other in the balanced and unbalanced current modes. More turns of meander line traces can reduce the operating frequency of the fundamental mode [19].…”

“…A lot of researches have been done in designing dual‐band antenna [1–3], but all of it gives a large dimension in antenna size. Meanwhile, with a dimension of 50.95 mm by 61 mm, the proposed dual‐band antenna is averagely 11% smaller compared with those conventional microstrip antennas that could perform similarly.…”

“…A dual‐band printed monopole antenna was proposed to operate at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, where this frequency band offers higher frequency range and high data rate [8]. Printed monopole antenna approach used in this design has advantages such as omnidirectional pattern in the horizontal plane, easy design procedure, and light weight [3].…”

In this letter, to the best of authors' knowledge, the first MMIC DPA realization in the X-band frequency range has been presented. A clever solution, that allows to reduce the size and to enlarge the bandwidth of the DPA, was adopted to realize the required uneven power splitter.Experimental results have shown a bandwidth larger than 20% around 9.5 GHz with a small signal gain of about 7 dB. Moreover, a 30-dBm saturated output power and a drain efficiency greater than 53% at 9.5 GHz have been measured. In the 6-dB power back-off (from 18 to 24 dBm input power), an AM/ AM distortion lower than 1 dB is also demonstrated with an average efficiency greater than 50%.

Doherty, A new high efficiency power amplifier for modulated waves, ABSTRACT: Antenna communication technologies were developing fast in recent research area, and these technologies demand high performance antenna to coop with the development. Wireless local area network (WLAN) application is famous term in antenna field nowadays, where this application allowed the users to communicate in long range without wired connection. WLAN demands an antenna with small size and volume, low in cost and weight, easy to design, and can perform efficiently at two distinct frequencies. In this article, the dual-band antenna working at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz was proposed. The proposed antenna consists of L-slots and arm's slot, where these slots greatly influenced the dual-band ability. The combination of 45 of bending angle at all antenna edges and slots can enable the proposed antenna to have good performances in term of return losses, bandwidth percentages, and larger half-power bandwidth (HPBW) values at both frequencies. The proposed antenna works efficiently at 2.45-and 5.8-GHz frequency bands when this antenna gives return loss values of À25.1718 and À28.6754 dB, correspondingly. This device can generate a broad forward beam that covered À62.1 to 62.1 HPBW with 36% bandwidth at 2.45 GHz, whereas at 5.8-GHz band, the HPBW for this antenna covered from À77.4 to 52.2 with 7.04% bandwidth. The proposed antenna suits to be used in WLAN's applications such as in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and access point application. The proposed antenna measurement values meet the IEEE 802.11 standard to make this antenna reliable.ABSTRACT: A miniaturized bandpass filter (BPF) using dual-mode defected ground waveguide (DGW) resonator is developed in this letter. The technique with defected step-impedance shunt stub is applied to enhance the self-inductance and self-capacitance of the DGW loop resonator which leads to size reduction. Compared to the conventional design, the central frequency is reduced by 48%. A good agreement between simulation and measurement verifies the validity of this design methodology.
