In this paper the design issues of compact genetic microstrip antennas for mobile
applications has been investigated. The antennas designed using Genetic Algorithms
(GA) have an arbitrary shape and occupies less area (compact) compared to the
traditionally designed antenna for the same frequency but with poor performance. An
attempt has been made to improve the performance of the genetic microstrip antenna by
optimizing the ground plane (GP) to have a fish bone like structure. The genetic antenna
with the GP optimized is even better compared to the traditional and the genetic antenna.

Electric permittivity and magnetic permeability control electromagnetic wave propagation th rough materials. I n naturally

Abstract:
A method for simultaneously enhancing the bandwidth
and reducing the size of microstrip antennas (MSAs) using a modified
ground plane (GP) has been proposed with design formulas. A combshaped
truncated GP is used for this purpose. This method provides an
overall compactness up to 85% for proximity-coupled MSAs in the
frequency range of 900 MHz–5.5 GHz with an improvement inbandwidth up to seven times when compared with the conventional ones

The paper presents a maximally flat compact
planar filter employing folded Stepped Impedance
Resonators (SIR) and Complementary Split Ring
Resonators (CSRR), for Ultra Wide Band (UWB)
applications. An interdigital quarter wavelength coupled
line is used for achieving the band pass characteristics.
The filter has low insertion loss in its pass band and
steep roll off rate and good attenuation in its lower and
upper stop bands. The measured microwave

agreement with the simulated response

Abstract:
A novel compact chipless RFID tag using spurline
resonators is discussed in this paper. The detection of
the tag's ID is using the spectral signature of a spurline
resonator circuit. The tag has a data capacity of 8-bits in
the range 2.38 to 4.04 GHz. The tag consists of a spurline
multiresonating circuit and two cross polarized antennas.
The prototype of the tag is fabricated on a substrate CMET/
LK4.3 of dielectric constant 4.3 and loss tangent
0.0018. The measured results show that group delay response
can also be used to decode the tag’s identity
Negative magnetic permeability media
(NMPM) can be built up by using small resonant metallic
particles like Split ring resonator (SRR) which has very
high magnetic polarisability. A group of these particles
shows a negative permeability region near and above the
resonant frequency. The continuous medium parameters
describing the SRR array can be predicted from their
individual electromagnetic behavior near the resonances.
The paper presents an optimizing software using Genetic
Algorithm (GA) to design an edge coupled two ring SRR
for a particular frequency

microstrip antennas (CMAs) resonating in the TMtt and TM2, modes,
producing radiation characteristics suitable for a mobile telephone handset,

In this paper, a multiband antenna using a novel
fractal design is presented. The antenna structure is formed
by inscribing a hexagonal slot within a circle. This base
structure is then scaled and arranged within the hexagon
along its sides without touching the outer structure. The
proposed CPW fed, low profile antenna offers good
performance in the 1.65 – 2.59 GHz, 4.16 – 4.52 GHz and
5.54 – 6.42 GHz bands and is suitable for GSM 1800/1900,
Bluetooth, IMT advanced systems and upper WLAN
applications. The antenna has been fabricated on a substrate
of height 1.6 mm and εr = 4.4 and simulation and
experimental results are found to be in good agreement
The paper proposes an octagon shaped Microstrip Patch Antenna suitable for
dual band applications. The striking features of this compact, planar antenna are
sufficient isolation between the two operating bands and an area reduction of -
29% in comparison to a conventional circular patch antenna operating in the
same band

Abstract:
An electrically small, broadband-modified, truncated
ground metamaterial EZ antenna is presented. This, a modified EZ
antenna system, achieves a larger bandwidth of the order of 650 MHz
by adjusting the metamaterial-inspired meandered ground element fed
by a top loaded monopole. The design is devoid of the large ground
planes and the external parasitic elements used in conventional
designs for achieving proper impedance matching characteristics. The
antenna requires a small foot print of kg/5 3 kg/10, where kg is the
guided wavelength corresponding to the lowest frequency of operation,
when printed on a substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness
1.6 mm. The antenna offers a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth from 750
MHz to 1.4 GHz, which covers CDMA, GSM, and ISM bands
