The antenna has been designed and successfully measured. Experimental results show that the 10 dB return loss bandwidth of this antenna is 50% operating from 2.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz. We obtain very flat gain (around 5 dB) over the entire bandwidth. For the design and optimization of antennas, we use HFSS CAD software from ANSOFT.展开更多

We present wideband PCB elliptic dipole antennas which are capable of achieving the bandwidth requirements for all the applications. A set of elliptic dipole antennas with varying eccentricities have been fabricated for demonstration. We find one specific size (specific eccentricity) dipole that can yield an impressive 1.5-16 bandwidth exceeding the currently available. A couple of elliptic dipole antennas suitable for UWB application have been presented. We have measured swept frequency response, impedance and radiation patterns of all dipoles. An empirical formula is given for calculating the starting resonant frequency within the operating band. The calculated values are found in good agreement with measured results.展开更多

The antenna is composed of two printed dipoles, two pairs of feeding coaxial lines and a ground. The single-polarized planar printed rectangular dipole and petal dipole, with the similar configuration, are first studied, exhibiting the potential wideband operation. Two petal dipoles are then cross-arranged to design a dual-polarized planar printed antenna, giving a lower profile and a better bandwidth covering the Chinese TD-SCDMA band (1880-2400 MHz). The dual-polarized antenna is simply excited by two pairs of coaxial feeds. Simulated and measured results show that the antenna achieves a common impedance bandwidth of 42% at both ports, good isolation of more than 25 dB, stable radiation patterns and the gain of about 7 dBi over the operating bandwidth.展开更多
