This document describes a hybrid zeroth-order resonance patch antenna designed to improve half power beamwidth. It combines a traditional rectangular patch antenna operating in the TM010 mode with a mushroom structure antenna utilizing zeroth-order resonance. By inserting the mushroom antenna inside an etched hole in the rectangular patch, both antennas can radiate at the same frequency. This allows the directional radiation pattern of the TM010 mode to be combined with the omni-directional pattern of the zeroth-order resonance mode, broadening the total radiation pattern's beamwidth. Simulation results show the hybrid antenna achieves a beamwidth of 99.7 degrees, an increase over the rectangular patch alone, while maintaining reasonable radiation efficiency.
Internal Wideband Monopole Antenna for MIMO Access-Point Applications in the ...Saou-Wen Su
A three-antenna MIMO system capable of generating a wide operating bandwidth of 2400-5850 MHz for access-point applications is introduced. The proposed design is based on a bent metal-plate monopole antenna with a compact size of 20 × 20 × 14 mm3. The three antennas are equally spaced along the perimeter of a circular ground and all generate a wide bandwidth of larger than 4 GHz. With the antenna short-circuiting facing the center of the ground, not only the overall antenna size is reduced but also good isolation of less than -20 dB can easily be obtained. Calculated envelope correlation is also less than 0.002 across the operating band. The design prototype of the antenna is discussed in detail in the paper.

Parametric Analysis of Single Element U Slot Microstrip AntennaIJSRD
In wireless communication system antennas are the most important element for creating communication link between source and destination. Microsrtip antennas are used for mobile and other satellite communication application because of their light weight, low power handling capacity and low profile. The modern mobile communication system requires high gain, wide bandwidth and minimal size antennas that are capable of providing better performance over a wide range of frequency spectrum. This requirement leads to the design of microsrtip patch array antenna. This paper proposes the parametric analysis of single element U slot MSA. Low dielectric constant substrates are generally preferred for maximum radiation. Thus it prefers FR4 as a dielectric substrate. Desired patch antenna design is simulated by using high frequency simulation software and patch antenna is designed as per requirement. Antenna dimensions such as Length (L), Width (W), and substrate dielectric constant and parameters like Return Loss, Gain, impedance and current distribution are calculated using CAD-FEKO. The antenna has been design to be operated in the range of 8-12GHz. Hence this antenna is highly suitable for X-band applications.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

Hybrid Zeroth-Order Resonance Patch Antenna with Improved

Ernakulam, Kerala, India)
Abstract: Antenna miniaturization is a critical issue in today’s wireless and communication systems.
Omnidirectional antennas are useful for applications in wireless communication however these antennas
radiate towards the broadside and antennas should protrude from ground for large radiation area. Several
techniques to reduce antenna size have been proposed in the recent years. One approach is Metamaterial
(MTM) based zeroth-order resonator (ZOR), ZOR antennas with the same physical size present better
performance if compared to other techniques. The conventional rectangular patch antenna cannot radiate omni-
directionally, despite of structural stability. Resonant frequencies of the conventional rectangular patch antenna
depend on width and length of patch, and height of substrate because of finite wavelength. ZOR antennas are
designed by using the ZOR mode- one of many attractive properties of the metamaterial antennas. The antenna
utilizes the zeroth-order resonance (ZOR) mode of the mushroom structure and the TM010 mode of the
conventional rectangular patch. If the directional radiation pattern of a TM010 mode and the omni-directional
radiation pattern of a ZOR mode are combined at the same frequency, it is expected that the total radiation
pattern would have the broader beamwidth.
Keywords: Beam width, Fringing, Metamaterials, Microstrip antenna, Rectangular Patch Antenna, Zeroth
order resonance (ZOR) antenna.
I. Introduction
A patch antenna (also known as a rectangular microstrip antenna) is a type of radio antenna with a low
profile, which can be mounted on a flat surface. It consists of a flat rectangular sheet or "patch" of metal,
mounted over a larger sheet of metal called a ground plane. The radiation mechanism arises from discontinuities
at each truncated edge of the microstrip transmission line.[2]
The radiation at the edges causes the antenna to act
slightly larger electrically than its physical dimensions, so in order for the antenna to be resonant, a length of
microstrip transmission line slightly shorter than one-half a wavelength at the frequency is used. The rectangular
patch antenna is approximately a one-half wavelength long section of rectangular microstrip transmission line.
When air is the antenna substrate, the length of the rectangular microstrip antenna is approximately one-half of a
free-space wavelength. As the antenna is loaded with a dielectric as its substrate, the length of the antenna
decreases as the relative dielectric constant of the substrate increases.
The microstrip patch antennas have been one of the most popular antennas in modern wireless
communication systems as they have several desirable attributes, such as a low-profile planar configuration, a
light weight, a simple design principle, a low fabrication cost, and so on [1], [2]. The conventional rectangular
patch antenna has a directional radiation pattern at the TM010 mode. It has a relatively narrow scanning range
and hence it is difficult for the antenna to maintain a stable performance in the changing environments or the
moving systems. This disadvantage created a need for an antenna with an enhanced beamwidth. For obtaining a
broad beamwidth, many antennas using the various techniques have been reported. For example, by using the
phase array patch structures [3], the multilayered structures [4]–[6], or the parasitic radiators [7], [8], it is
possible to design the patch antennas with a broad beamwidth. However, they have several limitations such as a
larger size, a difficult design, and a multi-layered structure.
II. Rectangular Patch Antenna
A patch antenna is usually constructed on a dielectric substrate, using the same materials and
lithography processes used to make printed circuit boards. The most commonly employed microstrip antenna is
a Rectangular patch. Dimensions of the patch are finite along the length and width and hence the fields at the
edges undergo fringing. Radiation in patch antenna is due to the fringing field between the periphery of the
patch and the ground plane which is a function of dimension of patch and substrate height. It increases with the
height of the substrate. But as the height increases, surface waves which are unwanted radiations also increase,
so an optimum value for substrate height should be chosen. Fringing makes the microstrip line look wider
electrically compared to its physical dimensions. Since some of the waves travel in the substrate and some in air,
an effective dielectric constant is introduces to account for fringing and the wave propagation in the line.

2.1 Rectangular Patch Antenna With Etched Hole
A rectangular patch antenna with an etched rectangular hole is shown in fig 1. The rectangular hole is
etched in the center of a patch [15]. In addition, a circular patch and a gap (gp)as a feeding structure are
employed. A coaxial probe (50 ohms ) is directly connected with the circular patch. Therefore, the excited
power is coupled to the rectangular patch through the circular patch. A TM010 mode can be generated in this
structure like a conventional rectangular patch antenna. The dimensions of the antenna are as follows: Width of
the substrate Ws=45mm, Length of the substrate Ls =40mm, width of the etched hole We =11mm, Length of the
etched hole=6mm, gp=0.2mm, height of the substrate hs=3.175mm, Width of the patch Wp=15mm, Length of the
patch Lp=10mm, permittivity=2.2 and δd = 0.0009.

III. Mushroom Antenna
Mushroom antennas are made up of metamaterials which are synthetic material with unusual refractive
properties, used for wireless systems. Their Optical and electromagnetic properties can be engineered by
changing the geometry of its unit cells. Each artificial unit responds to the radiation from the source. The
collective result is the material’s response to the electromagnetic wave that is broader than normal. It can step up
radiated power of an antenna, stores energy reradiates, behaves as if it was much more larger. It is an infinite
wavelength antenna where infinite wavelength occurs because the propagation constant is zero. Hence its
frequency does not depend on its physical length, but on the reactance provided by its unit cell.
A circular patch is directly connected with the coaxial probe, and a gap is inserted between the
mushroom patch and circular patch. Therefore, an excited power is coupled from the circular patch to the
mushroom patch. In general, the mushroom antenna has an infinite wavelength mode at specific non-zero
frequency called a ZOR mode. The resonance frequency of a ZOR mode is determined by the area of a patch,
the radius of a via, and the height of a mushroom antenna. The dimensions of the antenna are as follows: Width
of the substrate Ws=45mm, Length of the substrate Ls =40mm, width of the etched hole We=11mm, Length of
the etched hole=6mm, gp=0.2mm, height of the substrate hs=3.175mm, Width of the patch Wp=15mm, Length of
the patch Lp=10mm,ε=2.2 and δd = 0.0009.

To combine two modes at the same frequency, the structure where the mushroom ZOR antenna is
inserted in the etched pattern of a rectangular patch antenna, is designed. The antenna utilizes the zeroth-order
resonance (ZOR) mode [9], [10] of the mushroom structure and the TM010 mode of the conventional rectangular
patch .Therefore, the proposed antenna is composed of two radiators. This antenna will be called as a hybrid
ZOR antenna since it operates with the TM010 mode and the ZOR mode at the same frequency with a single
feed. First, the rectangular etched hole allows the patch antenna to have a lower resonance frequency of the
TM010 mode without changing the radiation pattern, the E-plane HPBW, and the size of an antenna. Second, the
mushroom ZOR antenna has the omni-directional pattern. If it is assumed that the resonance frequency of the
ZOR mode is the same as that of the TM010 mode and two modes are generated simultaneously, the directional
radiation pattern and the omni-directional pattern can be combined. It is expected that the total radiation pattern
would have the broader beamwidth. First, the etched rectangular hole is patterned on the center of the
rectangular patch and, then, the mushroom ZOR antenna is inserted inside the hole. At the ZOR mode, an
equivalent horizontal magnetic loop current is generated inside the mushroom structure, resulting in a low-
profile omni-directional radiation pattern [11]–[14].
This proposed antenna has structurally several advantages. First, the antenna needs only single-layered
substrate and maintains a planar configuration. Second, although the antenna has two radiators, a small size can
be achieved because the mushroom ZOR antenna is added inside the etched hole. Finally, it has a simple
structure. In order to excite the TM010 mode of an outer patch and the ZOR mode of an inner mushroom patch
simultaneously, a circular feeding patch is inserted between two patches. The circular patch is directly
connected to the coaxial probe. Thus, two radiators receive the incident power from the single feed. In addition,
two gaps of gp and gm are added between the circular patch and two radiators in order to independently control
the injected power to each antenna.

VI. Summary Of Results
Rectangular patch antenna has very low HPBW and hence is not ideal in moving environments because
of its very low scanning range. By employing the rectangular etched hole, the resonance frequency of the patch
antenna is down-shifted without changing the HPBW and the size of the antenna. The E-plane HPBW is
broadened compared with that of the conventional patch antenna. The proposed antenna has not only the broader
E-plane HPBW but also the smaller size than the conventional rectangular patch antenna. Even though
mushroom antenna has the maximum HPBW, it has very low radiation efficiency and cannot be used. So when
both antennas are combined, the E Plane beamwidth as well as radiation efficiency is increased.
VII. Conclusion
A hybrid ZOR patch antenna having the broad E-plane beamwidth is designed and simulated. In order
to obtain the broad beamwidth of an antenna, a TM010 mode and a ZOR mode are combined at the same
frequency. By using the omni-directional radiation pattern of a ZOR mode, the E-plane beamwidth of a TM010
mode can easily be broadened. To generate a TM010 mode and a ZOR mode simultaneously, the mushroom
structure is inserted inside an etched hole of the rectangular patch. The hybrid antenna has the advantages of a
simple structure, a single-layered substrate, and a planar configuration even though two radiators are employed.
Its resonant frequency is independent of its physical length, so ZOR antennas are very compact. It has a uniform
vertical electric field towards the ground plane, so that ZOR antenna has the magnetic loop current along open
ended side wall. Thus the proposed low profile antenna omni-directionally radiates and covers a larger area.
