Fabricated on a FR-4 board for single layer prototype and RO3010 for two layers prototype. The design of this antenna is utilized through the usage of Folded Meander Line. ‘Via’ will be used to increase the bandwidth for this antenna and at the same time implementing proximity coupled method. Thus, this project will show on the use of ‘via’ and proximity coupled as a widening technique by implementation within CST software. These techniques are used as a mean that can be applied in this antenna design and also can give an effect on the antenna characteristics. It can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the antenna in its function.","PeriodicalId":166472,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Workshop on Antenna Technology","volume":"43 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134398998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, the bistatic subsurface radar is applied to detect relatively shallow structure such as tumor detection, steel reinforced detection in concrete and etc… On the other hand, the electromagnetic coupling between transmitter antenna and receiver antenna is problem, because, the bistatic radar detects a reflection wave from the target by the receiver antenna, therefore artifact caused by the coupling. To reduce this coupling a cavity is used, however, the cavity is not enough to reduce the electromagnetic coupling between transmitter antenna and receiver antenna.

A miniature tunable negative index metamaterial phase shifter and an ultra wideband phased array antenna have been designed using ferrite materials. Negative permeability ferrite material in combination with negative permittivity of plasmonic wires produces a tunable negative refractive index metamaterial (TNIM). The TNIM shows a phase shift with a figure of merit of nearly 180° / kOe o of applied magnetic field. Investigation of loss in X- and Q-band TNIM reveals that high frequency loss is more due to ferrite quality rather that the design of the TNIM.

It is found that the characteristics are affected by a number of parameters which include dimensions of ground plane, length, width and height of top plate, widths of shorting and feeding plates. The characterictics are also affected by the horizontal distance between shorting and feeding plates, the position of feeding plate under the top plate, the distance of shorting plate from one edge of top plate and the distance of PIFA structure from horizontal and vertical edges of ground plane. Taking these variables into account, a new empirical formula is proposed. These results will be very helpful in designing PIFA.","PeriodicalId":166472,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE International Workshop on Antenna Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130168467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
