A novel compact Zeroth Order Resonator (ZOR) antenna with a chip inductor, for DVB-H application is presented. The zeroth resonance property makes the resonant frequency to be independent of the antenna dimension. The 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of the antenna is 20MHz and offers an omnidirectional radiation pattern.

A compact pulsed modulator circuit is presented which can drive pulsed IMPATT diode at Ka band with peak current of 18A and duty ratio of 0.04%. A TTL pulse generator circuit using solid state delay is developed for driving the bias circuit which has a good temperature stability. A protection circuit is also incorporated to prevent burn-out of the diode at high current. A Ka band pulsed IMPATT oscillator is designed and developed using the pulse modulator. Very low chirp is obtained using constant current source and varying the slope of the bias current pulse. A peak power of 12W has been realized with a chirp bandwidth of 150 MHz.

We will discuss a small novel hexagonal shaped geometry for ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with notch characteristics. The self-similar nature of this fractal like geometry provides higher effective antenna length and wide operating bandwidth because of the onset of multiple resonances. Notch characteristics are introduced using a rectangular slot in the ground plane, which enhances the reflection coefficient over the entire UWB frequency operating range for the proposed device. The optimized 19 mm × 15 mm dimensions, for the proposed antenna are the smallest among such geometries, exhibiting a large bandwidth from 3.1 GHz to 11.7 GHz with VSWR <; 2 over the entire frequency range. The proposed antenna demonstrates nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern, proper impedance matching, and good return loss over the entire UWB frequency range.

This paper investigates the crosspolar performance of a coaxial fed dual mode matched rectangular feed horn. The design of rectangular horn as matched feed for an offset parabolic reflector antenna is presented. Dominant TE10 mode is combined with TE11 mode at the horn aperture. A parametric study was carried out using HFSS to evaluate the horn performance under waveport as well as coaxial feed line excitation. Appropriate methods have been proposed for broadening operation bandwidth of the coax fed horn with a small decrease in the crosspolar performance.

A thin radar absorbing material using a stacked ring-patch array is proposed. The structure is planar, thin, broadband, and easy to design and fabricate. The structure is analyzed by simulations and experiments. The results demonstrate that the proposed structure acts as an absorber with a thickness of λ/24 at frequency 8GHz. Experimental results shows that, the structure exhibits 7% bandwidth at 10dB level. Its properties are evaluated by investigating the incident wave reflection characteristics, using CST microwave studio. The geometry is scalable to operate in different frequency ranges.

An easy to construct ultra-wideband microstrip antenna with about 43% bandwidth on a flexible substrate is demonstrated. It is observed that the characteristics of the antenna such as bandwidth and group delay are not degraded appreciably for this conformal array on a concave conical surface, when compared to a similar array on a planar surface. S-parameters between various elements of this array, when an object is placed in front of it, may be used for image reconstruction.

Single feed circularly polarized resonance cavity antenna (RCA) has been studied for high axial ratio bandwidth (AR-BW). Metallic superstrate layer placed over a dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is explored for such design. Optimized AR-BW has been achieved through intensive parametric study. The antenna is capable to deliver high axial ratio as well as matching bandwidth (over 12.6%) with more than 28° of beamwidth.
