A category of new microstrip patch antennas with very low profile, wide bandwidth and, most importantly, vertical polarization are developed. A monopolar microstrip circular patch antenna that has a monopole like radiation pattern is proposed. The monopolar patch antenna can produce a conical radiation pattern in the elevation pattern and an omnidirectional pattern in the horizontal plane, like a monopole antenna. The monopolar circular patch antenna has a potential to replace the conventional monopole antenna for the circumstances that require an antenna with very low profile and vertical polarization. A microstrip rectangular patch antenna with high gain and vertically polarized radiation at endfires is also presented. The rectangular patch antenna produces a monopole like radiation pattern in the main elevation plane and an “8”-shaped radiation pattern in the horizontal plane. Furthermore, a microstrip magnetic dipole Yagi antenna with an even higher gain and a high front to back ratio is presented. The Yagi antenna produces a main beam radiating very close to forward endfire and a vertical polarization at the endfire.","PeriodicalId":314019,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition","volume":"201 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133878663","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 on-off commutation of the switches, which are controlled by means of a periodic pulse sequence, generates harmonics that are spaced in frequency by multiple of the pulse repetition frequency. These harmonics, whether filtered, represent a power loss that unavoidably reduces the directivity at the antenna operating frequency. Differently, in this work the harmonics are suitably exploited and the pulse sequence controlling the RF switches is optimized to design an antenna able to generate multiple harmonic beams pointing at different directions in order to independently receive the signals that are incident on the array. Representative numerical examples are reported to validate the effectiveness of the approach.","PeriodicalId":314019,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Workshop on Electromagnetics: Applications and Student Innovation Competition","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122496562","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}
