Engineered materials, such as new composites, electromagnetic bandgap, and periodic structures have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their remarkable and unique electromagnetic properties. Among this class of media are the magnetic photonic and degenerate bandgap crystals. These periodic media have the concurrent characteristics of wave slow-down and impedance matching at their dielectric interface. The first allows for miniaturization, and the latter is equivalent to radiation efficiency. Overall these properties are a consequence of the anisotropic nature of the periodic media, allowing for internal phase shifting that leads to ray collimation for best aperture utilization. To a degree, they emulate zero index materials, and thus (planar) layers of the material serve the same purpose as a reflector dish. This important property of the MPA and DBE structures are discussed at the meeting. The main focus of this work is two-fold: 1. The realization (in terms of material availability and fabrication) of the proposed periodic media, and their theoretical and measured performance for antenna applications. Specifically, we will pursue feed arrangements, impedance matching and metallizations/printings for maximum aperture efficiency. 2. Introduction of a concept that allows for emulation of the anisotropic properties of MPA/DBE media using a novel coupled line printed approach. This concept allows for the realization of the wave slow-down and impedance matching within a printed microwave structure, leading to new design methodologies for microwave components, including couplers, filters and printed antenna devices.

In this paper, small antennas (SA) are treated with a wide concept, in which not only electrically small antennas (ESA), but also SA's categorized in terms of dimensions and functions are included. Essentials of SA are discussed pertaining to the fundamentals of SA and realization of SA. Matching and resonance are taken as the significant issues in SA. Investigation of the radiation mechanism of an antenna system and study of the calculation of energy flow from an antenna are proposed as one of the clues to look into the essentials of SA. Typical structures to create ESA are shown and some practical examples of SA are introduced. Future perspectives are briefly discussed.

A selective bandpass filter is presented by using a pairs of open loop resonators, each has a perimeter about half-wavelength. For the improvement of bandwidth, we have used a DGS under coupled area. A prototype filter circuit of center frequency at 1.8 GHz has been fabricated with PTFE substrate. Measured result shows bandwidth of 200 MHz with insertion loss of 0.2 dB at center frequency of 1.95 GHz. We have used defected ground structures under feed lines for extra stopband rejection mode to the 2nd and 3rd harmonics of the filter with attenuation losses over than -25 dB, without affecting the center frequency and insertion loss of the originally designed filter.

A small active controllable cellular antenna for mobile phones has been designed and evaluated. With a switch on top of the radiator different frequency bands can be chosen. The antenna is based on a dual band IFA design but number of bands are increased to four. Two different radiator branches can be activated by the switch which results in a frequency shift. In one state the antenna covers the GSM 850 MHz and 1800 MHz bands and in the other state the GSM 900 MHz and 1900 MHz bands are covered. This means the antenna size is same as a dual band antenna but it covers four frequency bands. Size is 38times7times1 mm. Adding active circuits to an antenna to achieve frequency control normally results in high losses and low gain antenna. With this solution the performance remains and radiation efficiency (gain) is very high and similar to a passive antenna

This paper presents a simple method for using data from full wave simulations in combination with lumped circuit models for calculating port responses for arbitrary loading and excitation conditions. Data from full wave simulations are used for constructing a matrix representation of port responses that is used in a circuit simulator code where arbitrary active and passive components can be added to the circuit. By this it is possible to evaluate different circuit configurations efficiently without the need of performing additional full wave simulations.

The rapid development in the WLAN communication demands novel compact antenna designs that can provide multi-band operation, such as the IEEE 802.11b/g (2.4-2.484 GHz), IEEE802.11a (5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.725-5.825 GHz), and HIPERLAN/2 (5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.47-5.725 GHz) operations. This article introduces a printed meander monopole antenna with a novel shaped profile for tri-band WLAN operation. Compared with the above mentioned monopole antennas of letter configurations, the proposed antenna has a smaller size and a wider bandwidth. Details of the antenna design and the experimental results are presented and discussed

In this paper, large-aperture terahertz photoconductive antennas, placed on a hyper-hemispherical silicon lens and excited by a short, pulse laser, are studied. The behavior of the radiation field is investigated in terms of several aspects. Our study shows that the radiated field is saturated when the photo-conductivity exceeds a threshold value defined be the permittivity of the photoconductor material.
