    Gain and bandwidth enhancement using superstrate loaded 2x2 circular-array antenna for X-Band and RADAR applications
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Varshney, Atul; Gencoglan, Duygu Nazan
    This article demonstrates the fabrication, and measurements of a corporate offset-fed 2 x 2 array electromagnetically coupled patch (EMCP) circular-antenna based on the Fabry-Perot cavity principle. Single element antenna has a low gain of 6.28 dBi and is enhanced to 13.45dBi by loading the array with a superstrate. The antenna parameters -10 dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) and gain are improved by an air gap with 4-stacked circular patches and 4 stubs in the proposed design. The peak gain of the 2 x 2 array without superstrate was 8.88 dBi at 8.19 GHz, which is enhanced to 13.82 dBi at 9.55 GHz by parasitic loading and superstrate. The FBW of the proposed array antenna was enhanced by arranging four stubs between the 4-circles in the superstrate structure. The -10 dB FBW without stubs was 24.82% (7.62-9.73 GHz) and with stubs it became 38.47% (7.73-11.0 GHz). Adjustment of the height of the superstrate at 2.0 mm not only enhanced the gain and bandwidth but also advancement in the unidirectional radiation patterns. The array is prototyped is measured to validate the reflection coefficients and radiation characteristics and they found an excellent match with simulated results. The suggested array is most suitable for energy launchers in transitions, RADAR, military, satellite, X-band communications, and microwave laboratory applications.

    High-Gain Multi-Band Koch Fractal FSS Antenna for Sub-6 GHz Applications
    (Mdpi, 2024) Varshney, Atul; Gencoglan, Duygu Nazan
    Featured Application The proposed antenna is potentially suitable for Wi-MAX (3.5 GHz) and sub-6 GHz n77 (3300-3800 MHz), n78 (3300-4200 MHz), and n79 (4400-4990 MHz), in addition to C-band applications.Abstract This study introduces a novel antenna based on the binary operation of a modified circular patch in conjunction with the Koch fractal. The antenna is intended for applications in the sub-6 GHz band, partial C-band, and X-band. The low-cost antenna is fabricated on a 1.6-mm-thick FR-4 substrate. A frequency-selective surface (FSS) is used to overcome the decreased values of the gain and bandwidth due to the fractal operations. The introduced split ring resonator (SRR) and the antenna substrate dimension reduction reduce the bandwidth and antenna gain. The air gap between the FSS and the antenna not only enhances the antenna gain but also controls the frequency tuning at the design frequency. The antenna size is miniaturized to 36.67%. A monopole antenna ground loaded with an SRR results in improved closest tuning (3.44 GHz) near the design frequency. The antenna achieves a peak gain of 9.37 dBi in this band. The FSS-based antenna results in a 4.65 dBi improvement in the gain value with the FSS. The measured and simulated plots exhibit an excellent match with each other in all three frequency bands at 2.96-4.72 GHz. These bands cover Wi-MAX (3.5 GHz), sub-6 GHz n77 (3300-3800 MHz), n78 (3300-4200 MHz), and approximately n79 (4400-4990 MHz), in addition to C-band applications.

    (Mdpi, 2023) Gencoglan, Duygu Nazan; Palandoken, Merih; Colak, Sule
    This study introduces innovative designs for frequency-reconfigurable antennas that utilize ring resonators combined with either PIN diodes or RF switches. These designs enhance the versatility, adaptability, and overall performance of the antennas in wireless communication systems. By controlling the switches and ring resonator, the antenna's resonant frequencies and bandwidths can be adjusted, allowing for compatibility with various communication standards and frequency ranges. The proposed antenna exhibits four distinct operational states, each characterized by different resonance frequencies and operating frequency bands. Return loss, radiation pattern, radiation efficiency, and surface current distribution are analyzed for each state. State-1 (ON-ON) and State-2 (OFF-ON), which are characterized by resonance frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 3.33 GHz respectively, offer ranges suitable for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ISM, and IoT applications. State-3 (ON-OFF), with a resonance frequency of 3.0 GHz and bandwidth spanning from 2.59 GHz to 3.643 GHz, complies with Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 6, and IoT requirements. State-4 (OFF-OFF) covers the band centered around 3.45 GHz. It is compatible with many applications such as 5G mid-band, Wi-Fi 6E, IoT, and cellular systems. The proposed antenna designs are versatile and compact since the overall antenna dimensions are 25 x 18 x 1.6 mm(3). The radiation efficiency of the antenna configuration varies depending on operational states. By utilizing the advantages of both ring resonators and RF switches, the proposed antenna configurations offer new solutions that enhance their performance in wireless communication systems. This study compares the effects of using PIN diodes and SPDT switches on the performance of antennas and also examines the DC biasing effect on antenna characteristics. The simulation results are validated by the experimental analysis. The proposed antenna designs offer a new approach for wireless communication systems by using both ring resonators and RF switches.

    This article describes the design, testing, and analysis of an offset-fed split ring-loaded slotted antenna for various water quality sensors. The antenna is designed to resonate at 10 GHz on a low-cost FR-4 substrate of dimensions 0.621 lambda(o)x0.467 lambda(o)x0.053 lambda(o) , where lambda(o) is the free space wavelength at the resonant frequency. The fabricated antenna finds excellent agreement with the measured antenna parameters. At 10 GHz, the antenna achieves a gain of 7.61 dBi, a nearly unidirectional radiation pattern, and a radiation efficiency of 76%. The research is further explored to use the antenna as a water sample sensor. The antenna is tested on various water samples by submerging it in them, and in the second scenario, contactless measurements at 10 mm away from the container's upper water level. The work examines the quality of the water by observing the shift in the resonant frequency (f(r)), the antenna quality factor with different total dissolved solvents (TDS) in the water samples, and changes in the reflection coefficient (S-11) values. It is observed that the antenna shows less than 1.5% numerical sensitivity (NS) with f(r), and high NS with the S-11. The antenna's S 11 and bandwidth vary and depending on the water sample. This antenna is suitable for Xband industrial and microwave laboratory applications.

Additionally, the antenna demonstrates an omni-directional radiation pattern, making it suitable for wireless communication systems. Experimental results on an FR-4 substrate validate the numerical calculations, confirming the antenna's performance and superiority over existing alternatives in terms of compactness, wide operating frequency range, and cost-effectiveness. The proposed design holds significant potential for applications in Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac), Bluetooth (5 GHz), ISM (5 GHz), 3G (UMTS), 4G (LTE), wireless backhaul (4G and 5G networks), WLAN (IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac/ax), 5G NR n1 band, and Wi-Fi access points due to its small size and easy control mechanism. The antenna can be integrated into various devices, including access points, gateways, smartphones, and IoT kits. This novel frequency reconfigurable antenna design presents a valuable contribution to the field, paving the way for further advancements in wireless communication systems.

    (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2020) Gencoglan, Duygu Nazan; Arslan, Mustafa Turan; Colak, Sule; Yildirim, Esen
    In this study, estimation of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) characteristics of microstrip elliptic patch antenna is investigated by means of k-nearest neighborhood algorithm. A total of 16,940 antennas are simulated by changing antenna dimensions and substrate material. Antennas are examined by observing Return Loss and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) characteristics. In the study, classification of antennas in terms of having UWB characteristics results in accuracies higher than 97%. Additionally, Consistency based Feature Selection method is applied to eliminate redundant and irrelevant features. This method yields that substrate material does not affect the UWB characteristics of the antenna. Classification process is repeated for the reduced feature set, reaching to 97.44% accuracy rate. This result is validated by 854 antennas, which are not included in the original antenna set. Antennas are designed for seven different substrate materials keeping all other parameters constant. Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio (CST MWS) is used for the design and simulation of the antennas.
