Area of Science:

  • Electrical Engineering
  • Antenna Theory and Design

Background:

  • Wideband antennas are crucial for modern wireless communication systems.
  • Miniaturization of antennas is a persistent challenge in achieving compact electronic devices.
  • Tapered Slot Antennas (TSAs) offer wide bandwidth but often require significant size.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and investigate two novel miniaturization techniques for wideband tapered slot antennas (TSAs).
  • To compare the effectiveness of fan-shaped structures alone versus a combination of fan-shaped and stepped structures for antenna miniaturization.
  • To analyze the impact of these methods on impedance bandwidth, antenna size, gain, and radiation characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated miniaturization by appending fan-shaped structures (quarter circular slots, half circular slots, half circular patches) to the ground conductor of a TSA.
  • Explored a second miniaturization method combining fan-shaped structures with stepped structures.
  • Fabricated a prototype antenna using the second method on an RF-35 substrate for experimental validation.

Main Results:

  • The first method achieved a simulated frequency band of 2.530-13.379 GHz (136.4%), reducing antenna size by 39.1% and increasing impedance bandwidth by 29.7%.
  • The second method yielded a simulated frequency band of 2.313-13.805 GHz (142.6%), with a 45.9% size reduction and 37.8% impedance bandwidth increase.
  • The second method demonstrated superior performance in bandwidth enhancement and size reduction, with improved high-frequency gain and reduced sidelobe levels. Measured results closely matched simulations.

Conclusions:

  • Both proposed miniaturization methods effectively reduce the size of wideband TSAs while enhancing impedance bandwidth.
  • The combined fan-shaped and stepped structure approach offers superior performance compared to using fan-shaped structures alone.
  • The developed compact wideband TSA is suitable for applications requiring small form factors and broad frequency coverage.
