This document describes the design and simulation of a multiband patch antenna using a Pythagorean fractal structure. In the base antenna design, resonance is achieved at 8GHz. The first fractal iteration uses a Pythagorean triangle equation to modify the patch shape. In simulation, this first iteration achieves two resonances, at 8.2GHz and 9.2GHz, when fed by both a coaxial probe and microstrip line. While the radiation patterns are not perfectly broadside, radiation still occurs in the upper quadrant. The simple fractal structure provides a potential way to miniaturize antennas while achieving multiband performance.

In present stereo audio system is a most popular audio system for different purposes. Now a day’s stereo system is commonly used in communication and other purposes. Moreover Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) based adaptive filtering is an effective filtering process in case of communication and other applications. However adaptive filtering is an adaptive filter process to cancel out the noise from audio signal successfully. Hence the main objective of this paper is to design a NLMS adaptive filter which cancels out the noise from a noisy wave format stereo audio file. Moreover by varying the order of the adaptive filter (such as 8th, 16th, 32th and 64th), the performance of the NMLS adaptive filtered signal with respect to reference and noisy stereo audio signal are analyzed as well.

It discusses how asymmetric feeding is used to generate two orthogonal current components with a 90 degree phase difference, producing circular polarization.

Size Reduction and Gain Enhancement of a Microstrip Antenna using Partially D...IJECEIAES
Microwave engineers have been known to designedly created defects in the shape of carved out patterns on the ground plane of microstrip circuits and transmission lines for a long time, although their implementations to the antennas are comparatively new. The term Defected Ground Structure (DGS), precisely means a single or finite number of defects. At the beginning, DGS was employed underneath printed feed lines to suppress higher harmonics. Then DGS was directly integrated with antennas to improve the radiation characteristics, gain and to suppress mutual coupling between adjacent elements. Since then, the DGS techniques have been explored extensively and have led to many possible applications in the communication industry. The objective of this paper is to design and investigate microstrip patch antenna that operates at 2.4 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network WLAN IEEE 802.11b/g/n, ,Zigbee, Wireless HART, Bluetooth and several proprietary technologies that operate in the 2.4 GHz band. The design of the proposed antenna involves using partially Defected Ground Structure and circular/cross slots and compare it to the traditional microstrip patch antenna. The results show improvement in both the gain of 3.45 dB and the S11 response of -22.3 dB along with reduction in the overall dimensions of the antenna. As a conclusion, the performance of the antenna has been improved through the incorporation with the DGS and slots structures regarding the S11 response and the gain. The proposed antenna become more compact. Finally, the radiation pattern of proposed antenna has remained directional in spite of adding slots on the ground plane.

The document discusses and compares the performance of various antenna designs through return loss/VSWR plots and radiation patterns sourced from several research papers. Key findings include that bicone and monocone antennas have bandwidths over 7 GHz but are difficult to fabricate. A helix antenna with a capacitive coupling has the best performance of the helix designs with a bandwidth of around 4 GHz. Square planar monopole antennas with trident or double feeding strips have bandwidths of around 10 GHz. Vivaldi antennas and circular/elliptical dipole antennas also achieve bandwidths greater than 9 GHz. LPDA and monopole antennas have more varied performance depending on specific dimensions.

DUAL BAND F-ANTENNA FOR EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICAijwmn
A single antenna for multiple bands are always beneficial from the design point of view. Here a single antenna which is fundamentally inverted F antenna is used, the uniqueness of the design is that , it uses trap technique to produce dual resonance from a single inverted F antenna . The trap used to block the current due to some frequencies and passes the current contributed by other frequencies. So in short , this trap is like a RF filter which has some passband as well as stop band. This trap approach uses a LC network to achieve this design goal .The two bands of interest are 865-870 MHz and 902-928 MHz .. The challenge of this design is that the frequency separation of the two bands is very small. In this case, and also the extra section for low frequency band is too small. Then, the influence of trap LC component variation due to tolerance to the two resonant frequencies is big, and so it is difficult to achieve good in band return loss within the LC tolerance. This is the main difficulty of this design. This issue is resolved by placing the low band section away from the end of the antenna. The antenna is designed on FR4 substrate material having thickness of 1.6 mm and hence it is a low cost solution which could use in various commercial applications which follows these bands.

This is the main difficulty of this design. This issue is resolved by placing the low band section away from the end of the antenna. The antenna is designed on FR4 substrate material having thickness of 1.6 mm and hence it is a low cost solution which could use in various commercial applications which follows these bands.

Design of 10 to 12 GHz Low Noise Amplifier for Ultrawideband (UWB) SystemIJECEIAES
Balanced amplifier is the structure proposed in this article, it provides better performance. In fact, the single amplifier meets the specification for noise figure and gain but fails to meet the return loss specification due to the large mis-matches on the input & outputs. To overcome this problem one solution is to use balanced amplifier topography. In this paper, a wide-band and highgain microwave balanced amplifier constituted with branch line coupler circuit is proposed. The amplifier is unconditionally stable in the band [9-13] GHz where the gain is about 20dB. The input reflection (S11) and output return loss (S22) at 11 GHz are -33.4dB and -33.5dB respectively.
In this paper, a simulation and measurement return loss parameter results
comparison in frequency reconfigurable antenna is proposed. More lowprofile and compact microstrip antennas have been developed in recent years
for 5 GHz, 5G, WLAN, Wi-Fi, and ISM band applications. These antenna
frequency bands may be single, dual, or multiband. The small microstrip
antenna, without connecting any external devices like switches, resonators,
and passive elements, does not show any variations in their simulation and
measurement results like return loss (S11 parameter), gain, and efficiency.
However, in the S11 parameter most frequency reconfigurable antennas
show a mismatch between simulation and measurement results. The reason
for this mismatch between the simulation and measurement results are given
in the paper.

The document describes a novel electrically small planar dipole antenna operating at 2.45 GHz. The antenna has extremely small dimensions of 11.2x5.1x1.575 mm, making it one of the smallest reported footprints at this frequency. Three matching approaches are studied to match the antenna's impedance to 50 ohms. Matching approach 1 has the highest efficiency of 87.4% and realized gain of 1.17 dBi. Approaches 2 and 3 have lower efficiencies around 40% due to increased surface currents from end-loading the dipole. The antenna is also modeled using an infinitesimal dipole model, which shows good agreement with simulations. Fabricated prototypes are presented for the three approaches
The document discusses different types of small antennas that can be used for EnOcean-based products, including quarter-wave monopole antennas, helical antennas, chip antennas, and PCB antennas. It emphasizes that the antenna design is critical for RF performance and range. A quarter-wave monopole antenna provides good overall performance but may be too long at lower frequencies. A helical antenna can significantly reduce the size while maintaining good performance. PCB antennas can be a low-cost solution if enough ground plane is available. The size and shape of the ground plane is important for all these antenna types to function properly.

RF Patch Antenna/Array Design
Rashad Alsaffar (101006781)
Abstract—The dimensions of a patch antenna are directly
affiliated with its performance. Operating frequency was assigned
individually to students to aim for minimum S11 return loss (¡
−20dB) for each patch antenna. A feed line supplied a 50Ω
impedance, ensuring maximum power transfer throughout the
device. The design would become amplified with the addition of
two antenna patches to develop an antenna array, increasing
overall gain and performance as opposed to a single patch
antenna. Dimensions of the array were tuned to match the
specifications of the individual patch antenna.
I. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this lab was to learn and understand the
design of a patch antenna within HFSS. An operating
frequency of 2GHz was assigned; the patch antenna must
try to simulate minimum return loss (S11 < −20dB) at the
mentioned operating frequency. To insure this, an online
calculator [1] was used to determine the dimensions of
the patch antenna. Dimensions were tweaked to meet the
specifications of the device. The feed line dimensions was
altered as well, to ensure a 50Ω impedance into the patch
antenna.
The design would be copied and pasted twice within
the patch array schematic; simulations would be ran to test
the performance of the patch array, where it would try to
meet the specifications for the individual patch antenna, i.e.
minimum return loss at operating frequency.
II. PATCH ANTENNA
The patch antenna model was made through HFSS. Its di-
mensions were tweaked to allow for an operating frequency
of 2GHz and minimum S11 return loss.
