Broadband circularly polarized rectangular loop antenna with impedance matching

A broadband circularly polarized rectangular loop antenna is developed. The broadband performance is achieved by adding a pair of parasitic loops inside the rectangular loop. Good impedance matching is obtained by introducing a broadband balun. The proposed rectangular loop has a bandwidth of 46% for axial ratio/spl les/2dB and 50% for VSWR/spl les/2 with a gain of around 8dBi.     

E-shaped patch with reactive impedance surface for high gain and broadband circularly polarized antenna

A low-profile circularly polarized (CP) antenna with high gain and broad bandwidth is aimed at 5-GHz Wi-Fi applications using a symmetrical E-shaped patch. Initially, the radiating element is modeled as a symmetrical E-shape. An array of 4 × 4 rectangular patches are arranged periodically to make up a reactive impedance surface (RIS) structure. Furthermore, the RIS structure is deployed in the middle of a symmetrical E-shaped radiating patch and a perfect electric conductor (PEC) ground plane. As a result, the broadband CP is achieved with high gain. The above-mentioned combinations have achieved a −10-dB reflection coefficient bandwidth of 21.4% (4.92–6.1 GHz) and a 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 15.5% (5.25–6.1 GHz), and the antenna has attained a gain of 7.45–7.53 dBic.     

A simple method to determine the impedance of a loop antenna

Simple closed formula is given to determine the resistive part of the loop antenna input impedance. An equivalent transmission line is used to determine the reactive part of the input impedance for the same loop, and the antenna in both cases may have any regular configuration. This method has proved to be accurate for a loop perimeter up to0.5 lambdafor the resistive part and up to0.8 lambdafor the reactive part.     

Low-frequency impedance of a circular loop over a conducting ground

Using a quasistatic approach, the input impedance of a circular wire loop is calculated for the case where the Earth is represented as a homogeneous conducting halfspace.

Infrared frequency selective surface based on circuit-analog square loop design

A frequency selective surface (FSS) was designed to have a resonant spectral signature in the infrared. The lithographically composed, layered structure of this infrared FSS yields a resonant response in absorption to infrared radiation at a wavelength determined by its FSS element structure and the structure of its substrate layers. The infrared spectral characteristics of this surface are studied via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and spectral radiometry in the 3 to 15 /spl mu/m region of the spectrum. The design is based on circuit-analog resonant behavior of square loop conducting elements.

Closed-form expressions are derived for the input impedanceZof a small loop antenna with arbitrary orientation in a cold collisionless uniform multicomponent magnetoplasma. The closed-forms results ofZare compared with numerical results from a full-wave formal solution. It is found that for small loops these approximate formulas adequately represent the loop input impedance.     

Characteristics of a horizontal circular loop antenna over a multilayered, dissipative half-space

The problem of a horizontal loop antenna located above a stratified dissipative half-space is investigated. Current distribution is formally obtained by cosinusoidal expansion around the loop. The effect of the lower half-space on each modal current is discussed in the case of a small loop (k_{0}b = 0.3) and a resonant loop (k_{0}b = 1). Change in input admittance as a function of height and as a function of the electric parameters of a homogeneous dissipative haft-space are presented. Such change is found to be very pronounced when the loop is close to the interface and when the loop is near resonance. The effect of a second layer in the lower half-space is then discussed.

Equivalent current excitation for an aperture antenna embedded in an arbitrarily shaped impedance surface

It is demonstrated, via the equivalence principle, that if the aperture fields are known, one can explicitly obtain the equivalent current excitation required for modeling an aperture in an arbitrarily shaped impedance surface, when the aperture surface is closed, by replacing it with an impedance surface. It is also demonstrated that the impedance condition over the antenna body and the closed aperture can be nonuniform and anisotropic and that different choices are possible for the value of the surface impedance of the surface that closes the aperture. It is expected that the procedures described will be most useful in approximately modeling aperture antennas embedded in nonplanar impedance surfaces where the aperture electric field is known.
