The dipole with integrated balun is designed to achieve a wide bandwidth in UHF frequency band. The design consists of printed dipole structure with variation in balun which exhibits different characteristics according to its design structure over the UHF range. Feed of dipole elements requires a balanced to unbalanced transformer (balun) which acts as a transition and impedance transformer. The dipoles with integrated balun are “printed” on a Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 ($boldsymbol{varepsilon} mathbf{r}=2.2$) 31mil thick substrate.","PeriodicalId":286769,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Indian Conference on Antennas and Propogation (InCAP)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114559770","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}

The TM11modes of both annular ring and circular patch radiators are broadside directed whereas the TM21 modes of both have a radiation parallel to the human body. Wideband characteristic over the higher band has been achieved by tuning the TM21 modes of both the circular patch and annular ring while proper tuning of the fundamental modes of the two counterparts resulted into realization of lower wide band. Additional bandwidth and impedance matching is obtained with the help of an open ended rectangular slot cut over the annular ring patch and a shorting pin connected to the circular patch from the ground.","PeriodicalId":286769,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Indian Conference on Antennas and Propogation (InCAP)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126199318","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}

Applications like satellite communications, fifth-generation (5G) mobile communications, remote sensing etc., need long distance communication, wider coverage, narrower beam width from an antenna. Transmitarray antenna could be a potential solution to meet these demands. A transmitarray antenna combines the advantages of phased array antenna and lens antenna. For operational simplicity, waveguides operating in fundamental modes are chosen as the array elements. The geometrical and physical parameters of the transmitarray greatly influence the radiation performance of the antenna.
