Abstract
Novelty of the proposed design lies in miniaturization of Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA). Secondly, all Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) five bands have been accumulated in single structure. Amalgamation of metamaterial (MM) ring resonator, split ring resonators (SRR), modified rectangular slot and Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) backplane structure has been used to design proposed GNSS antenna. The frequency resonances obtained are narrow (large frequency ratio) and highly sensitive, thus impedance is perfectly matched for all five bands. The simulated results are closely matched with the measured results. High front to back ratio (FBR) obtained using novel MM AMC backplane. Gain enhancement of 5dBi obtained in GNSS antenna using AMC backplane structure. DRA miniaturization (98.6%) has been carried out using MM. The antenna results have been measured at L1 (1575.42 MHz/L2(1227.6 MHz)/L3(1381.05 MHz)/L4(1379.913 MHz) and L5 (1176.45 MHz) bands.
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.
