This paper describes a new configuration of frequency-selective structure (FSS) structures to reduce mutual coupling between the radiating elements. Also, the antenna performance before and after the implementation of FSS have been investigated. The proposed configuration provides an improvement in mutual coupling by 14 dB (measured value) with a reduced edge-to-edge spacing of 23 mm. The reductio

Patch antennas with a meandering slot and different distributions of grounded metallic vias are presented in this paper. The meandering slot is adopted to stimulate dual-band operation, while the number and position of the grounded metallic vias are suggested to achieve different radiation performances. The characteristics are analyzed in detail where we find that the existence of the vias also im

A coplanar waveguide-fed planar hexagonal monopole ultra-wideband antenna with dual-band rejection characteristics is proposed in this paper. The desired notch frequencies at 3.5 and 5.5 GHz are realized by incorporating mushroom structures. The input impedance and surface current distributions are used for analysis and explanation of the effects of mushroom cells. The prototype and proposed anten

This paper of lettering reveals about a modified Koch snowflake fractal multiband antenna for cognitive radio applications. Multiband antennas can be employed for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio. This new microstrip-modified Koch fractal antenna exhibits multiple actions in four dissimilar resonant frequencies at 3.2, 5.2, 6, and 9.5 GHz correspondingly that covers the frequency bands such as

A compact quad band slot antenna with high isolation suitable for multiple-input?multiple-output (MIMO) applications is developed. The quad bands are achieved by introducing slots in a modified, size reduced circular patch antenna. The single-antenna element consists of a substrate sandwiched between a modified circular patch with F shape slot, a feeder line and a via running between the radiating

A compact printed 2 × 2 ultrawideband UWB multiple input multiple output MIMO antenna with a single circular patch as a common radiator for both the antenna elements is presented in this paper. A single circular patch is excited by two tapered CPW feeds for dual polarization. To improve the isolation between two ports, a rectangular slot of dimension L × W is created in the radiator. The UWB MIMO

This paper proposes a novel T-shape electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure to suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in mixed-signal systems. Noise is generated due to simultaneous switching multiple drivers in the digital ICs. It is called as SSN. It could propagate between power and ground planes of underlying PCB platform and interfere with the functionality of nearby RF/Analog ICs. So, t

In this paper a high gain aperture-coupled membrane antenna with a frequency selective surface (FSS) on a superstrate layer has been investigated. The base membrane antenna consists of a microstrip patch on the top of Roger RT-5580 substrate, supported by FR4 and is excited through an aperture fed by substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW). The CST Microwave Studio simulation results show that the pr
