Compact design of an ultra wideband dual ridged horn antenna (DRHA) is proposed in this paper. The antenna operates from 3.1 GHz to 17.55 GHz with peak gain of about 14.26 dBi. Derived closed form expression for the ridged tapering is also proposed. Simulations results are obtained using commercial EM simulator and fabricated prototype is designed and measured for validation.

The effects of corporate feed network on the performance of low sidelobe level (SLL) planar array operating in X-band are analyzed. The impedance distribution at the individual sub-arrays is optimized to suppress the effects of corporate feed radiation and to achieve the required low sidelobe level (~20dB). Conventional planar feed design exhibited a distorted radiation pattern with second sidelobe level shooting upto -14dB. The proposed approach reduces the second sidelobe level and maintains nearly Gaussian tapered radiation pattern over the angle. Measured gain of the array is 21dB.

A novel dual band millimeter wave antenna has been designed that covers two different frequencies of W band (75 GHz to 110 GHz). The antenna structure consists of two parasitically coupled patches and a stepped impedance slot in the feedline. The two resonant frequencies are 83 GHz and 94 GHz, that are used for high data rate communication and millimeter wave imaging applications, respectively. The return loss bandwidth at 83 GHz is 6.6% (5.45 GHz) and at 94 GHz is 3.4% (3.2 GHz). The simulated gain at two frequencies is 8.4 dbi and 8.9 dbi at 83 and 94 GHz, respectively. Further, a scaled antenna prototype is fabricated and measurement results are compared with the simulated ones.

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is introduced here to optimize the element spacings and lengths of a mutually coupled Planar Array Antenna to have maximum Directivity (D), minimum Half Power Beam Width (HPBW) and Front to Side Lobe Level (FSLL). The array is simulated with MOM structure code using MATLAB (7.8.0.347) and verified using standard MININEC (14.0) software package for UHF application. The results obtained using PSO for our structure are compared with different structures of antennas of other authors, optimized using various optimization techniques for its performance evaluation.

High Frequency Inset-fed compact CPW slot antennas a conventional wideband slot antenna with fractal stub modified by a parasitic line surrounding the fractal stub, affecting the multiband operation suitable for applications in wireless communication system. The proposed antenna resonates at four frequency bands at centre frequencies 4.25, 5.55, 8.5, 9.3 GHz. The first resonant band extends from 3.6GHz to 4.2GHz which is the operation band of wireless. Effectively consistent radiation pattern and gain have been observed. The proposed antenna is small and compact in size, providing consistent radiation pattern, broadband impedance matching and approximate gain characteristics. The proposed antenna is size reduction of 62.5%.

Indian engineering education holds promises and offers challenges, both at the same time. In this invited talk, these promises and challenges are briefly reviewed. When considered in conjunction with the expectations from modern engineering graduates, it emerges that the intellectual demands on our academic institutions are rather heavy. The central role faculty has in this context is highlighted. Possible steps that may be desirable in respect of quality improvement are also pointed out.

This paper discusses the coupling coefficients for electric, magnetic and mixed coupling between synchronous Split Ring Resonators (SRR) using HFSS eigen mode solver. Coupling coefficient variation with the spacing between the coupled resonators has been given which can be used to design microwave filters using SRR. The identification of couplings has been done by observing the current densities of the coupled SRR.

This paper describes a size miniaturized rat-race coupler using defected microstrip structure called meander spurline and folding technique. By etching a meander spurline on microstrip line, slow wave effect is introduced and size reduction is achieved. The length of the quarter wave transmission line is reduced by 25.76%. The proposed rat race coupler is compact and is 60.17 % smaller than the conventional rat race coupler.

This paper presents the design of a novel dual-band coax-fed microstrip patch antenna (MPA), loaded with a fractal complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) for dual-band operation and partially defected ground structure (PDGS) for bandwidth enhancement. The proposed antenna operates in the WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, 3.3-3.8 GHz) and entire WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network, 5.15-5.85 GHz) frequency bands with satisfactory far-field gain and efficiency.
