This paper proposes miniaturized broadband parasitic patch antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a probe fed reduced size main patch and U-shaped parasitic patches. The parasitic patches are incorporated to the radiating edges of the main patch to miniaturize the antenna size. The broadband impedance matching can be achieved by either E-plane or H-plane electromagnetic coupling between main patch and parasitic elements. The size of radiating elements is $18{\times}17.6\;mm^2$ and the overall dimension of designed antenna with substrate and ground plane is $25{\times}30{\times}4\;mm^3$. The fabricated antenna on a FR4 substrate shows two resonant frequencies(5.12 GHz and 6.08 GHz) with 27.3 %(1.5 GHz) fractional bandwidth at 5.5 GHz center frequency. The calculated and measured radiation patterns are almost similar to conventional patch antenna.

Aperture-coupled microstrip antenna is one type of microstrip antennas. This type of antenna has bandwidth wider than simple microstrip antenna. Herein, we use two substrates, that have the same dielectric constant 2.47 (PTFE-quartz) in which upper substrate is a rectangular patch. The microstrip patch is fed by a microstrip line which is printed on lower substrate, through an aperture or slot in the common ground plane of patch and microstrip feed. This antenna is analyzed by using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method the specific design frequency 10 GHz and match impedance is 50 ohms. The simulation results of its characteristics are input impedance, return loss, VSWR and radiation patterns respectively.

In communication systems, there are various types of microstrip antenna that can be used for many applications. This paper mainly focuses on the simple design of an inset rectangular microstrip patch antenna to operate at a frequency of 2.45 GHz for rectenna design. The study involves using an high frequency structure simulator to design the antenna dimensions and to determine its performance. This antenna is based on a thickness of 1.6 mm flame retardant 4 (FR-4) substrate having a dielectric constant of approximately 4.7, an inset feed, and a ground plane. After simulation, the antenna performance characteristics such as its return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, gain, and radiation pattern were obtained and compared with the fabricated measured antenna.

In this paper, describes the design of PIFA for PDA which has parasitic patch to expand the impedance bandwidth and miniaturization technique to consider the radiation pattern. To expand the impedance bandwidth, generated resonant frequency of parasitic patch is different from that of main patch. To miniaturize the physical dimension, using the folded edge and rectangular slot. The obtained impedance bandwidth is 9.4% ($2.29GHz{\sim}2.515GHz$) at VSWR${\leqq}$2 and antenna gain is 2dBi within the operating frequency.

A new magnetostrictive patch array transducer for the generation and detection of torsional waves is developed fur the on-line health monitoring of rotating shafts. Even though the torsional wave is useful in nondestructive evaluation due to its non-dispersive property, a transducer generating torsional waves in rotating shafts has not been developed so far. In this research, a torsional wave transducer using the magnetostrictive effect is newly developed. By bonding an away of magnetostrictive rectangular patches on the outer surface of the shaft at an oblique angle of $45^{\circ}$ and encircling the array by a solenoid coil, we have successfully generated and measured torsional waves by the developed transducer. Several experiments were carried out to check the transducer performance.

A theoretical study of mutual coupling effects between two H-plane coupled microstrip patch antennas is presented. The radiation resistance and slot capacitance of a single micro-strip patch are calculated. To investigate the mutual coupling effects, the even and odd mode characteristic impedance and effective dielectric constants are obtained using the coupled microstrip line model. The S-parameter matrix elements 511,512 are used to study the mutual coupling e(facts in S-band frequency ranges for various patch spacings. Theoretical results and measurements are in good agreement.

In this paper, an E-patch antenna on the U-shaped ground plane is designed and experimental studied. In order to reduce to cross-polarization level and to enhance the gain of the microstrip patch antenna, a U-shaped ground plane is employed in the microstrip patch antenna. As a main radiator, an E-shaped patch is used to reduce the antenna size as small as possible. Also to enhance the bandwidth of the antenna, a substrate of the lowest permittivity of which thickness as thick as possible is used and a rectangular patch is overlaid on the air substrate of the E-shaped patch antenna. The radiation characteristics of the antenna are calculated by CST Microwave Studio 5.0 simulation software. Experimental results show that by increasing the height of the sidewall of the ground plane, the antenna gain is increased and the cross-polarization level is decreased.

Rectangular microstrip antenna with parasitic element is analyzed. Radiation admittance and equivalent circuit parameters between rectangular microstrip antenna and parasitic element are obtained by using equivalent ${\pi}$-network parameters of the slit in the wall of the parallel plate waveguide filled with homogeneous dielectric. The return loss is calculated and measured as a function of frequency with gap width 0.5mm between the patch and parasitic element. The experimental results are in fairly agreement with calculated values.
