Abstract:
A compact dual-band printed antenna covering the 2.4 GHz (2400-2485 MHz) and 5.2 GHz (5150-5350 MHz) WLAN bands is presented. The experimental analysis shows a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of up to 32 and 8% for 2.4 and 5.2 GHz, respectively. The measured radiation patterns are nearly omnidirectional, with moderate gain in both the WLAN bands.
A compact, dual band coplanar waveguide fed modified T-shaped uniplanar antenna is presented. The antenna has resonances at 1.77 and 5.54 GHz with a wide band from 1.47–1.97 GHz and from 5.13–6.48 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 34% and 26%, respectively. Also the antenna has an average gain of 3 dBi in lower band and 3.5 dBi in higher band with an average efficiency of 90%.
Design of a compact dual frequency microstrip antenna
is presented. The structure consists of a slotted circular patch with
a dielectric superstrate. The superstrate,not only acts as a radome,
but improves the bandwidth and lowers the resonant frequency also.
The proposed design provides an overall size reduction of about 60%
compared to an unslotted patch along with good efficiency,gain
and bandwidth. The polarization planes at the two resonances are
orthogonal and can be simultaneously excited using a coaxial feed.
Parametric study of this configuration showed that the frequency ratio
of the two resonances can be varied from 1.17 to 1.7 enabling its
applications in the major wireless communication bands like AWS,
DECT,PHS,Wi.Bro, ISM,and DMB. Design equations are also
deduced for the proposed antenna and validated.

Abstract:
A novel compact single-layer dual frequency microstrip
antenna which uses an H-shaped geometry with two U-shaped slots embedded
near the radiation edges, is presented. By changing the design parameters, the lower and higher resonant frequencies can be controlled
easily, and a range of frequency ratios (1.716-2.363) can be
obtained in this design. For the two operating frequencies of the proposed
antenna, the same polarization planes and broadside radiation
patterns are achieved. Compared to the regular dualfrequency patch
antenna, this antenna can realize a significant size reduction

Abstract:
In this paper, microstrip lines magnetically coupled to splitring
resonators (SRRs) are conquved to electromagnetic bundgup (EBG)
nr,rrostrip lines in terns q/ their stop-heard penjbrnmrnce and dimensions. In
bath types o/ trunsmis•siou lines, signal propagation is inhibited in it certain
jequency bwuL For EBG microstrip lines, the central frequency of such a
forbidden band is determined by the period of the structure, whereas in
SRR-hased microstrip lines the position of the frequency gap depends on
the quasi-static resonant frequency of the rings. The main relevant conrributiun
of this paper is to provide a tuning procedure to control the gap width
in SRR microstrip lines, and to show that by using SRRs, device dimensions
ale much smaller than those required by EBGs in order to obtain similar
stop-banal performance. This has been demonstrated by fill-wave electromagnetic
simulations and experimentally verified from the characterization
ql two fabricated microstrip lines: one with rectangular SRRs etched on the
upper substrate side, and the other with a periodic perturbation cf'strip
width. For similar rejection and 1-(;H,. gap width centered at 4.5 Gllz, it
has been found that the SRR microstrip line is•,fve times shorter. In addition,
no ripple is appreciable in the allowed band for the .SRR-hared structure,
whereas due to dispersion, certain mismatch is expected in the EBG
prototype. Due to the high-frequency selectivity, controllable gap width, and
small dimensions, it is believed that SRR coupled to planar transmission
lines can have an actual impact on the design of stop-band filters compatible
with planar technology, and can be an alternative to present solutions based on distributed approaches or EBG

Abstract:
Dielectric properties of polyaniline at different frequencies were studied. Cavity perturbation technique was employed for the
study. Poly aniline in the powder and pelletised forms were prepared under different environmental conditions. Different samples of
poly aniline exhibit high conductivity. However. the conductivity of samples prepared under different environmental conditions is
found to vary. All the samples in the powder form have high conductivity irrespective of the method of preparation. The high
conductivity at microwave frequency makes it possible to be used for developing microwave components like filters.
