A novel compact single-layer dual frequency microstrip
antenna which uses an H-shaped geometry with two U-shaped slots embedded

Abstract:
A new method for enhancing the 2.1 VSWR impedance
bandwidth of microstrip antennas is presented. Bandwidth enhancement
is achieved by loading the microstrip antenna by a ceramic microwave
dielectric resonator (DR). The validity of this technique has been established
using rectangular and circular radiating geometries. This method
improves the bandwidth of a rectangular microstrip antenna to more
than 10% (= 5 times that of a conventional rectangular microstrip
antenna) with an enhanced gain of I dB

Abstract:
A new design of' a dual-frequency dual-polarized square microsh'ip antenna fed
along the diagonal, embedded with a square slot having three extended stubs for
frequency tuning, is introduced. The proposed antenna was fabricated using a
standard photolithographic method and the antenna was tested using the HP

resonant frequencies with mutually perpendicular polarizations and broad
radiation pattern characteristics. Such dual-frequency designs find wide
applications in personal mobile handsets combining GSM and CDS 1800 modes,
and applications in which different frequencies are used for emission and reception
such as personal satellite communications and cellular network systems.

high permittivity dielectric resonator of suitable resonant frequency was
loaded over the patch. the % bandwidth of the antenna was increased by

Abstract:
Photonic band-gap (PBG) structures are utilized in microwave
components as filters to suppress unwanted signals. In this
work, rectangular perforations were created in the ground plane of a microstrip line to construct a PBG structure. A gold-coated alumina
substrate was utilized to switch or tune the bandstop characteristics of
this structure. It was demonstrated that the bandstop characteristics
were switched off from - 35 to - 1 dB at 16 GHz. Tuning of the bandstop
edge with a shift of 1.5 GHz was also shown

Abstract:
The arrow shaped microstrip antenna, which produces
dual frequency dual polarisation operation with considera-ble size reduction compared to conventional patches has been
reported [I]. These antennas provide greater area reduction and
improved gain compared to drum shaped patches [2]. Prediction
of the resonance frequency of drum shaped patches [3] and circular
patches for broadband operation [4] are available in the literature.
In this Letter, we propose empirical formulas for calculating
the resonance frequencies of the arrow shaped microstrip antenna.
These antennas can be employed for obtaining dual frequency
with the same polarisation, bandwidth enhancement, circular
polarisation etc. by varying its different parameters or by introducing
slots. The proposed design equations provide an easier and
simple way of predicting the resonant frequencies of these patches.
