Item SRR loaded slot antenna for multiband applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Paul, P.M.; Kandasamy, K.; Sharawi, M.S.A compact square shaped microstrip triband slot antenna is proposed. Two Split Ring Resonators (SRR) of the same configuration are loaded at one edge of the slot in a back to back orientation. The other edge of the slot is displaced with two 180° rotated SRR's with multiple slits. The additional bands are obtained from the resonance properties of the loaded SRR's. The antenna is simulated and measured. The resonance frequencies obtained are 2.7 GHz, 4.3 GHz and 4.7 GHz. A minimum bandwidth of 130 MHz is achieved. © 2017 IEEE.Item Quad band SRR loaded square slot antenna(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Paul, P.M.; Kandasamy, K.; Sharawi, M.This paper proposes a Split Ring Resonator (SRR) loaded quad band microstrip slot antenna designed to operate at 2.42 GHz, 4.33 GHz, 8.46 GHz and 10.9 GHz. The additional resonant bands are generated by loading the square slot antenna with two pairs of SRR structures on either side of the feed line. The bands centered at 8.46 GHz and 10.9 GHz are found to exhibit wideband and circular polarization properties respectively. The resonance band at 8.46 GHz provides a wide bandwidth of 2.43 GHz. One pair of the loaded SRR structure consists of two spiral shaped connected SRR's. The excitation of these structures gives rise to a circularly polarized band at 10.9 GHz with 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 390 MHz. Maximum gains of 3.82 dB, 3.95 dB, 7.5 dB and 4.2 dB are obtained at the four resonant frequencies, respectively. A minimum bandwidth of 270MHz is observed for all the bands of operation. © 2017 IEEE.Item A tri-band slot antenna loaded with split ring resonators(John Wiley and Sons Inc. P.O.Box 18667 Newark NJ 07191-8667, 2017) Paul, P.M.; Kandasamy, K.; Sharawi, M.S.A compact tri-band slot antenna with independent tuning capability of its resonant frequencies is proposed in this article. A microstrip line fed square slot is loaded with split ring resonators (SRR) to obtain multiband characteristics. The slot is designed to resonate at 2.6 GHz. Two SRRs with single and multiple splits are loaded with the slot, which provide additional resonances at 4.3 and 4.7 GHz, respectively. Parametric analysis of the antenna shows that its resonance frequencies are controlled independently. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a size of 60 × 60 × 1.56 mm2. The proposed design offers stable omnidirectional patterns and >3.8 dBi at all the resonating frequency bands. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Item Dispersion-Engineered Transmission Line Loaded Slot Antenna for UWB Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Paul, P.M.; Kandasamy, K.; Sharawi, M.S.; Majumder, B.A transmission line (TL) loaded, compact, ultrawideband (UWB) square slot antenna is proposed in this letter. The square slot is a microstrip line fed and loaded with an array of periodically perturbed TLs to achieve a UWB response from 2.1 to 11.5 GHz. The slot is designed to resonate at 2.6 GHz. The TLs are dispersion engineered to resonate at several frequencies so as to provide a wideband response. Loading of the engineered TLs on the square slot produced multiple resonances without affecting the fundamental mode of the slot antenna. The proposed antenna design is analyzed using dispersion relations and equivalent circuits. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an RT/Duroid 5880 substrate with a size of 50 × 50 × 1.52 mm3. The antenna performance metrics, such as impedance bandwidth, gain, and efficiency, are experimentally verified. Good agreement is obtained between simulated and measured results. © 2018 IEEE.
