A novel compact multiple-input?multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system operating from 5 to 7.3 GHz is proposed for wireless applications. It comprises of two similar antennas with microstrip feeding and radiating patches developed on a reduced ground plane. The developed antenna system resonates at a dual-band of 5.4 and 6.8 GHz frequencies, giving an impedance bandwidth of 38% (based on S11 < ?10 d

In this paper, a triple-band 1 × 2 and 1 × 4 microstrip patch antenna array for next-generation wireless and satellite-based applications are presented. The targeted frequency bands are 3.6, 5.2 and 6.7 GHz, respectively. Simple design procedures and optimization techniques are discussed to achieve better antenna performance. The antenna is designed and simulated using Agilent ADS Momentum using F

In this paper, a novel design of compact wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna operating over a frequency range of 1.8?4.0 GHz at 10 dB is presented for mobile terminals. The MIMO antenna design consists of two symmetrical and orthogonal radiating elements with a small size of 15.5 × 16.5 mm printed on the corners of a mobile circuit board. The radiating element is composed of fou

In this paper, a novel compact ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) without and with one sharply notched band is presented. The UWB bandpass characteristic is achieved using slotted resonators (SR) and a notch is obtained by spiral defected ground structure (SDGS) without any change in SR structure. Center frequency of the notched band can be easily changed (from 5 to 9 GHz) by tuning the di

A high-gain microstrip patch-type WiMAX antenna operating at 3.5 GHz has been designed with a parasitic radiator and a raised ground plane. Antenna design has been carried out through extensive three-dimensional electromagnetic simulations. The patch antenna itself provides a realized gain of about 3.6 dB at 3.5 GHz. When a parasitic radiator is placed on top of the patch antenna, the gain increas

In this paper, a gain-increased method of cavity-backed slot antennas based on excitation of high-order substrate-integrated waveguide cavity resonance has been proposed. To this end, the metallic posts are introduced in a main cavity to excite the cavity's TM mode. Then the properties of the modified cavity's TM mode are used to feed an array of 2 × 2 slot antenna. Moreover, to acquire insight of

This paper presents an analytical model to characterize the radiation pattern of focused aperture antennas. The model is based on the classic parabolic on pedestal distribution for amplitude, but in this work the focusing phase term is considered and applied in the Fresnel region. The model is useful for millimeter and submillimeter wave imaging radar systems that usually work in the Fresnel regio

This paper presents a compact microstrip tri-band bandpass filter (BPF) using two multimode stepped-impedance resonators (SIRs) with a 0° feed structure. The fundamental odd-mode and even-mode resonant frequencies and the third resonant frequency are utilized to determine the center frequencies of the tri-band filter. The mode-splitting technique is used by combining two SIRs with electrical coupl
