Abstract
In this research, a novel negative capacitance circuit was developed to augment the frequency bandwidth of unmatched antennas. Optimization of the transmission line and DC feeding line design parameters was carried out to ensure efficient signal transmission and minimal loss, with a transmission line width of 2.96 mm achieving a 50 Ω characteristic impedance at 2.45 GHz. Validation of the Negative Impedance Converter (NIC) circuit’s performance was achieved through experimental and simulation results, demonstrating negative capacitance within the frequency ranges of 2.47–2.62 GHz and 2.77–2.93 GHz. The proposed negative capacitance matching circuit significantly enhanced the operational frequency bandwidth of the antennas by 220 %, compared to conventional open stub matching methods, presenting an effective solution for bandwidth improvement in antenna design.
期刊介绍:
AEÜ is an international scientific journal which publishes both original works and invited tutorials. The journal''s scope covers all aspects of theory and design of circuits, systems and devices for electronics, signal processing, and communication, including:
signal and system theory, digital signal processing
network theory and circuit design
information theory, communication theory and techniques, modulation, source and channel coding
switching theory and techniques, communication protocols
optical communications
microwave theory and techniques, radar, sonar
antennas, wave propagation
AEÜ publishes full papers and letters with very short turn around time but a high standard review process. Review cycles are typically finished within twelve weeks by application of modern electronic communication facilities.
