Abstract

This paper presents a candidate ultra wideband antenna for Ku-band wireless communi- cations applications, analyzed and optimized by the finite element method (FEM). This three-dimensional modeling was realized and compared with published antennas for val- idate the performances of the proposed antenna. Its design is based on the insertion o fseveral symmetrical slots of different sizes on the ground plane of a mono-layer patch antenna to overcome the main limitation of the narrow bandwidth of patch antennas. The proposed antenna, made on an FR-4 epoxy mono-layer substrate with a defected ground plane (dielectric constant εr = 4,4, loss tangent tan δ = 0,02 and thickness hs = 1.6 mm). The simulated numerical results obtained are very satisfying; Bandwidth = 10.48 GHz from f1 = 9.34 GHz to f2 = 19.82 GHz, S11 = -34.17 dB, Voltage Stationary Wave Ratio VSWR = 1.04 , Gain = 6.27 dB.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It has the highest incidence rate and the highest mortality rate. In recent years, the incidence of breast cancer has become more and more important, it is becoming the first tumor killer for women around the world. Early diagnosis is the most important parameter for detecting cancerous tissue to prevent serious consequences. In this electronic paper, we present a new design of an ultra-wide-band circular microstrip patch antenna operating in the recommended FCC band ([3.1 GHz - 10.6 GHz]) for the detection of breast tumors. The antenna is printed on an FR4 epoxy substrate with a dielectric permittivity r = 4.4 and loss tangent tan = 0.02. The results obtained are largely satisfying and prove that the proposed antenna is a candidate for biomedical applications.

Abstract

Frequency reconfigurable antennas are very attractive for many wireless applications.They offer many advantages such as simplicity and compactness. In this electronicpaper, we propose a reconfigurable antenna operating in the S and C bands. Theproposed antenna uses a BAP65-02 RF diode to switch between the ultra widebandfrom 2.92 to 6.19 GHz to the narrowband from 2.92 to 3.93 GHz. The ultra widebandis obtained by a partial rectangular ground plane with a symmetrical rectangular slotand the narrowband is obtained by adding a parasitic element electrically connectedto the ground plane by the PIN diode when it is positively biased. This patch antennaoperates in the Federal Communications Commission band (FCC) and can be used forbiomedical applications such as radiometry imaging. The numerical simulation resultsbased on the finite element method and the finite integral method show a very goodagreement between them.

Abstract

This paper presents a novel graphene-based impedance reconfigurability approach for Ku-band hexagonal patch antennas, demonstrated at both the single-element and 4×4 array levels. Unlike conventional metallic or diode based reconfigurable antennas, frequency tuning is achieved by exploiting the tunable surface conductivity of graphene integrated into E-shaped slots, without altering the antenna geometry or employing active lumped components. Antenna performance is evaluated using full-wave electromagnetic simulations for two graphene states (“on” state and “off” state), representing distinct surface impedance conditions. The single element exhibits dual resonances at 14.81 GHz and 15 GHz, with reflection coefficients of -52.56 dB and -38.18 dB, bandwidths of 783 MHz and 517 MHz, and a peak gain of 7.8 dBi. The 4×4 array exhibits multiple resonances between 12.5–16.8 GHz (off state) and 12.6–17.15 GHz (on state), achieving bandwidths up to 2750 MHz and a maximum gain of 13.64 dBi. These results demonstrate a scalable, geometry-preserving reconfigurable antenna solution for compact Ku-band systems.

Abstract

In this paper, we present the design of a new wide dual-band bandstop filter (DBBSF) using nonuniform transmission lines. The method used to design this filter is to replace conventional uniform transmission lines with nonuniform lines governed by a truncated Fourier series. Based on how impedances are profiled in the proposed DBBSF structure, the fractional bandwidths of the two 10 dB-down rejection bands are widened to 39.72% and 52.63%, respectively, and the physical size has been reduced compared to that of the filter with the uniform transmission lines. The results of the electromagnetic (EM) simulation support the obtained analytical response and show an improved frequency behavior.
