Design and Implementation of Tapered Slot Antenna for Ship's Indoor Location-Aware System

Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed a tapered slot antenna for IR-UWB communication system suitable of indoor positioning in the building. The designed tapered slot antenna is designed using Ansys Inc. HFSS and its standing wave ratio, return loss, and radiation pattern is analyzed. In 2.36 ㎓ ∼ 5.51 ㎓ band, the designed antenna shows satisfactory return loss at -10 ㏈ and meets the requirement of VSWR≤2. The presented designed showed a higher sensitivity for the end-fire propagation characteristics in a specific direction across all bands of the radiation pattern.

Design of Ultra-Wide Band Antenna with Compact MCR Structure for BW Enhancement

“…The final design exhibits a size of only 180 ㎟. This is smaller than most of the competitive designs available in literature [11][12][13] . The dimension of the miniaturized designs are 15 × 12 ㎜, it is noticeable that the algorithm of [5] has been configured in such a way that it allows clear reduction of the structure size while maintaining the condition |S11|≤= -10 ㏈ for the entire UWB band having maxim value of -38 ㏈.…”

Implementation of rectangular slit-inserted ultra-wideband tapered slot antenna

“…For the UWB wireless communication system, the allowed limit was defined as the frequency band of 3.1–10.6 GHz by FCC (Federal Communication Commission) in USA, and it has to satisfy the 25 % of fractional bandwidth and the frequency bandwidth of 500 MHz or higher (Choi et al 2014). …”
