Subsectional Tapered Fed Printed LPDA Antenna With a Feeding Point Patch

Abstract: Abstract-In this letter, a log-periodic dipole array (LPDA) antenna operating between 1.1 and 13.8 GHz with and an average peak realized gain of 5.2 dB is presented. It is suitable for GPS (L1-L5), PCS, IMT-2000, Bluetooth, WLAN, WiMAX, UWB, and X-band applications. The antenna is designed by introducing a subsectional tapered feedline instead of standard microstrip feeding, which leads to a remarkable lower-frequency performance. The upper-frequency performance of the antenna is improved by adding a feeding p… Show more

“…Apart from the traditional bow design, the antenna has bows with rectangular extensions, which results in the reduction of antenna dimensions and makes the antenna operate at lower frequency band. These bows are fed by a parallel tapered line having a feeding point patch (FPP) at the termination of SMA connector …”

“…These bows are fed by a parallel tapered line having a feeding point patch (FPP) at the termination of SMA connector. 23 A low cost FR4 substrate with thickness of 1.52 mm, dielectric constant of 4.4, and tangent loss of 0.02 is used for the mentioned design. Parametric studies are realized by HFSS in this study in order to perform a wideband antenna in GHz region with compact structure as much as possible.…”

“…Recently, a renewed interest has been demonstrated in flexible, highly-directive planar antennas [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. With low profile and conformal configurations, these flexible antennas find numerous applications in emerging technologies such as sensor networks, internet of things (IoT), and wearable electronics [11].…”

“…Several research studies in recent past focussed on the design of LPDAs with stable broadband electromagnetic properties [6,8,9,[23][24][25][26][27]. The antennas were printed either on rigid substrates such as Arlon, Rogers, FR4 or on 1 mm thick PET substrates and hence cannot be considered for highly flexible electronics.…”

“…This feeding technique presents some drawbacks such as the difficulty of soldering process and can deteriorate both the radiation pattern and the antenna matching. To overcome the shortcomings of this feeding technique, an ultrawideband planar LPDA antenna with mode converter balun is designed in [7] and an antenna is designed by introducing a subsectional tapered feed line instead of standard MSL feeding in [8]. However, these feeding techniques feed from head of the antenna.…”
