In this work, we compare two different antenna topologies integrated in a miniature IoT device working at 900 MHz: Inverted F Antenna (IFA) and Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA). This type of handheld device can be strongly impacted by human body …
This letter proposes an approach for the realization of three-dimensional flexible antennas based on the use of liquid metal and additive printing technologies. As a representative example, a miniaturized inverted-F antenna (IFA) operating at 885 MHz …
This paper presents a method to design 3D flexible antennas using liquid metal and additive technology (3D printer based on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology). The fabricated antennas present flexible properties. The design method is first …
The prototype of a differential pattern reconfigurable antenna suitable for efficient wireless sensor networks is presented. The measurement of the prototype as well as the integration with the reconfiguration control system is discussed. Numerical …
A super-directive parasitic element system, with a diameter of the minimum sphere circumscribing the antenna equal to 0.2λ0, is simulated and measured. A maximum directivity of 7.2 dBi is measured with a radiation efficiency of -6.5 dB at 876MHz. An …
A novel wideband rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) is proposed in this paper. An equivalent air-dielectric DRs blocs are introduced inside the resonator to enhance the structure's bandwidth. The hybrid structure is excited by a simple …
The need in biological telemetry relevance has been growing steadily for many years. A localization system, working in the SRD (Short Range Devices) frequency band of 863870MHz dedicated to the laboratory mice, is presented in this paper. It is …
In this letter, a dual-band printed circuit board (PCB) antenna suitable for Wi-Fi applications is described. The antenna geometry is modeled by means of a spline curve and a partial metallic ground plane. The proposed antenna is suitable for Wi-Fi …
In this letter, a planar ultra wideband (UWB) antenna suitable for the integration in wireless universal serial bus (USB) dongles is described. The antenna has a bandwidth equal to 2 GHz from 3 GHz up to 5 GHz with return loss values below -10 dB in …
