Abstract:
The effect of dopants with different valencies and ionic radii on the densification, structural
ordering, and microwave dielectric properties of Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 (BMT) is investigated. It is
found that dopants such as Sb2O5, MnO, ZrO2, WO3, and ZnO improve the microwave dielectric
properties of BMT. Addition of trivalent dopants is detrimental to the cation ordering and dielectric
properties of BMT. A correlation between the microwave dielectric properties of BMT and ionic
radii of the dopant has been established. The variation of the dielectric properties of pure and doped
BMT at cryogenic temperatures is also discussed.

Abstract:
A planar monopole antenna suitable for broadband wireless communication is designed and developed. With the use of a truncated ground plane, the proposed printed monopole antenna offers nearly 60% 2:1 VSWR bandwidth and good radiation characteristics for the frequencies across the operating band. A parametric study of the antenna is performed based on the optimized design, and a prototype of the antenna suitable for 2.4-GHz WLAN application is presented. The antenna can be easily integrated into wireless circuitry and is convenient for application in laptop computers.
