A $4times 4$ rectangular patch antenna array operating at 24GHz is designed. The patch has perturbations at the corners to achieve circular polarization (CP). The array has been designed on RT Duroid 5880 substrate of thickness 0.508mm. The antenna array is edge fed with unequally truncated corners on both diagonals. Initial design is analytically calculated using predefined equations, followed by several iterations to further refine i t. The $4times 4$ a rray a chieved a gain of 17.3dB and an axial ratio of 0.55dB. The ARB (Axial Ratio Bandwidth) for the same design is 2.54% and IB(Impedance Bandwidth) is 6.532%. The narrower ARB is a compromise for obtaining the higher gain. Further to enhance the gain of $4times 4$ array antenna, two case studies are considered. In the first case, four layered dielectric hemispherical shells is used and in the second case, a 4 layered metamaterial Lens is employed. A gain enhancement of 5.1dB and 4dB is observed in 4-layered dielectric shells and 4-layered metamaterial lens respectively. All the above results have been obtained by simulating with EM flow solver Ansys HFSS. As the dielectric shells developed has a wide band behaviour compared to the metamaterial lenses, the developed design can be extensively used for MIMO antennas for millimeter wave applications and 5G applications in FR2 band for gain enhancement.","PeriodicalId":410781,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Wireless Antenna and Microwave Symposium (WAMS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124476525","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}

It has this property by imposing the difference co-array, which is defined as the difference between elements locations. However, empirically, the co-array of sparse arrays structure is vulnerable to impaired elements and reliability of sparse arrays is an open topic for investigation. In this context the present work examines fractal based sub-array DOA estimator. Broadly speaking, robustness is analyzed by exploiting element essentiality, fragility and normalized DCA size. Furthermore, the paper compares the robustness and size of difference co-array configurations of fractal based sub array with different existing sparse arrays. From the numerical examples, it is investigated that for the fixed $N$ elements, increase of difference co-array size typically cause in less robustness to element failure.","PeriodicalId":410781,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Wireless Antenna and Microwave Symposium (WAMS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128560213","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}

Free-space wavelength corresponding to the resonant frequency is $lambda_{0}$. Wide rectangular slotted patch on the front side and inverted L shaped feed line on the back side have been implanted to help this antenna for size reduction. The circular polarize radiation is been carry through in two steps, one is by switching the feedline and another is by placing an antithetical L-parasite strip into the rectangular slot. This two L-parasite strips on the both side have been connected through metal via. Therefore, the combined effect of horizontal and vertical polarization assures to sustain wide beamwidth.

The behaviour is modelled by the incident of $x$-and $y$-polarized waves generated from a 45°-tilted monopole structure to an anisotropic metasurface. The reflected waves from the metasurface are then combined with the direct wave in the far-field, resulting in an equalization of the orthogonal component's amplitude with a 90° phase difference. The monopole structure is designed first at 2.45 GHz, and then the metasurface is designed according to the axial ratio (AR) characteristics. The metasurface is made up of $3times 3$ ring-type unit cells. The proposed metasurface not only generates CP but also aids in the reduction of backward radiation and provides miniaturization compared to the conventional rectangular unit-cell. The design is accomplished using CST Microwave Studio. The proposed metasurface-based antenna produced an impedance bandwidth of 330 MHz, an AR bandwidth of 74 MHz, a peak gain of 6.6 dBi, and a radiation efficiency of 69 % in free space (FS).
