Printed Egg Curved Slot Antennas for Wideband Applications

Abstract

Abstract-This paper presents a novel design of an egg curve based wide-slot antenna for various wideband applications. The proposed printed antenna consists of an egg curved slot with a similar tuning stub. The egg curve is obtained by introducing an egg shaping parameter into standard elliptic curve equation. The effect on the impedance bandwidth through the variations in antenna design parameters has been investigated and analysed in detail. To validate the theoretical design, various egg curved slot antennas were designed, fabricated and measured. Good agreement between the simulated results and the measured ones is observed. An empirical formula is also proposed to approximately determine the frequency corresponding to the lower edge of −10 dB operating bandwidth. The results demonstrate that the proposed egg curved slot antenna (ECSA) can obtain a measured bandwidth (BW) of 164.46% (1.95-20.0 GHz) for |S 11 | ≤ −10 dB. A stable realised gain of about 4.1-5.1 dBi with consistent radiation patterns are measured over more than the entire ultrawideband (UWB) bandwidth (3.1-10.6 GHz) which makes it a suitable candidate for wideband and UWB wireless system applications.

A Modified Avian Egg Shaped CPW Fed Printed Monopole for SWB Applications

“…SWB antennas provide improved resolution and ranging, higher time precision, increased capacity and data rates compared to UWB. Planar monopole antennas are preferred for realizing SWB characteristics due to their smaller dimensions and easier integration with microwave IC"s. SWB antennas are used for UWB, Radio determination applications (4.5 -7 GHz), , Wireless access systems/Radio LAN (17.1 -17.3 GHz), Doppler navigational aids, Radio astronomy (22.5 GHz, 24.05 -27 GHz), Short range radar (21.4 -27 GHz), ISM (24.25 GHz), UWB Vehicular Radar(22-29 GHz) [13] and more. Several techniques in the geometry have been proposed in literature to achieve super wideband performance.…”

A shape blending based design of printed slot antennas for various wideband applications

“…An antenna's impedance bandwidth (BW) is known to be significantly affected by the shape of a printed antenna's radiating patch. Several research studies focused on novel radiating patch designs; this was done to determine the relationship between antenna properties, specifically the correlation between BW and geometric dimensions . Later, EAs were introduced into the design process, either as a supplementary approach to improve the optimization process or as the main method of constructing the antenna radiator .…”
