Abstract

This paper aims to investigate and design a Yagi disc antenna with a variable number of director elements for Band 3 in fourth-generation long term evolution (4G LTE) mobile applications. The array technique was introduced by increasing the number of director elements to achieve superior results and better performance, such as higher gain and lower return loss. Initially, the simulated results of return loss and gain with one director element were -19.02 dB and 8.51 dBi, respectively. Then, by increasing the number of directors to three and five elements, the antenna’s performance improved significantly from -32.44 to -42.68 dB for return loss and from 8.51 to 11.17 dBi for gain, respectively. The simulated circular Yagi disc antenna provided a response in the range of 1.78 to 1.82 GHz. Therefore, a model was fabricated and tested to validate the antenna design. The measured results matched well with the simulated ones. By increasing the number of director elements, the measurement results of gain and return loss at a frequency of 1.8 GHz also showed improvement from 7.70 to 11.09 dBi and from -27.31 to -32.91 dB, respectively. Meanwhile, the measured antenna provided a wider bandwidth in the range of 1.72-1.82 GHz.

Abstract

This article gives a parametric study on strawberry-shaped monopole antennas for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The antenna design consisted of three different parametric design steps to structure the strawberry radiated monopole antenna. The scheduled strawberry monopole antenna was simulated on an FR4 substrate in a low profile for UWB applications. The total physical dimension is 26 mm×26 mm×1.6 mm, corresponding to the centre frequency of 7.5 GHz. The strawberry antenna is fed via a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to attain the best impedance matching for UWB systems. The presented monopole antenna has an impedance UWB bandwidth of 11.0 GHz from 2.6 GHz up to 13.6 GHz at −10 dB return loss. The simulated UWB strawberry monopole antenna displays an omnidirectional radiation behaviour with a simulated gain of 7.3 dB at 13.6 GHz, a directivity of 7.5 dBi at 13.6 GHz and favourable radiation efficiency of 97%. The proposed monopole UWB strawberry antenna has the technological possibility to be used for UWB applications.
