Abstract: This paper presents a novel fractal antenna structure
proposed for UWB (Ultra – Wideband) applications. The frequency
band 3.1-10.6GHz released by FCC (Federal Communication
Commission) as the commercial operation of UWB has been chosen
as frequency range for this antenna based on coplanar waveguide
(CPW) feed and circular shapes fulfilled according to fractal
geometry. The proposed antenna is validated and designed by using
an FR4 substrate with overall area of 34x43 mm2. The simulated
results performed by CST-Microwave Studio and compared by ADS
(Advanced Design System) show good matching input impedance
with return loss less than -10dB between 2.9 GHz and 11 GHz.
Abstract: This paper presents analysis and design of a wideband
Wilkinson power divider for wireless applications. The design is
accomplished by transforming the lengths and impedances of the
quarter wavelength sections of the conventional Wilkinson power
divider into U-shaped sections. The designed power divider is
simulated by using ADS Agilent technologies and CST microwave
studio software. It is shown that the proposed power divider has
simple topology and good performances in terms of insertion loss,
port matching and isolation at all operating frequencies (1.8 GHz,
2.45 GHz and 3.55 GHz).
Abstract: This paper presents a new structure of microstrip band
pass filter (BPF) based on coupled stepped impedance resonators.
Each filter consists of two coupled stepped impedance resonators
connected to microstrip feed lines. The coupled junction is utilized to
connect the two BPFs to the antenna. This two band pass filters are
designed and simulated to operate for the digital communication
system (DCS) and Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands at
1.8 GHz and 2.45 GHz respectively. The proposed circuit presents
good performances with an insertion loss lower than 2.3 dB and
isolation between the two channels greater than 21 dB. The prototype
of the optimized diplexer have been investigated numerically by
using ADS Agilent and verified with CST microwave software.
Abstract: This work presents a new planar multiband antenna
based on fractal geometry. This structure is optimized and validated
into simulation by using CST-MW Studio. To feed this antenna we
have used a CPW line which makes it easy to be incorporated with
integrated circuits. The simulation results presents a good matching
input impedance and radiation pattern in the GSM band at 900 MHz
and ISM band at 2.4 GHz. The final structure is a dual band fractal
antenna with 70 x 70 mm² as a total area by using an FR4 substrate.
