This study proposes three microstrip line fed circular monopole antennas with ultra-wideband (UWB) characteristics, improved omnidirectional radiation pattern and WLAN (5 GHz-6 GHz) band notched characteristics for wireless and mobile communication systems. In this thesis, first, a microstrip line fed ultra-wideband ring monopole antenna with improved omnidirectional radiation pattern is designed, fabricated and measured. Two corners are tapered on the ground plane for increasing impedance bandwidth. In order to obtain low cross polarization level on the H plane, two symmetrical rectangular notches are cut on lower side of the ground plane. Moreover, in the center of the circular patch, a slot is opened to improve impedance matching at lower frequencies. The proposed antenna has measured bandwidth from 2.6 GHz to 20 GHz. The antenna has omnidirectional radiation pattern on the H-plane. The measured cross polarization level is low up to 9 GHz on the H plane. Moreover, it has near-omnidirectional radiation pattern on the Eplane. The measured cross polarization is low at all frequencies on the E-plane. Secondly, an UWB antenna (4.3 GHz-11.2 GHz) with symmetrically located open-circuited stubs is designed, fabricated and measured. The aim of this design is to distribute some part of the current in the symmetrical open circuited stubs to vi improve the radiation patterns of the antenna at high frequencies. The cross polarization level is less than -20 dB up to 6 GHz. However, cross polarization level increases at high frequencies. Finally, an UWB with band-notched characteristics (WLAN 5 GHz-6.1 GHz) is designed, fabricated and measured. U shaped slot is etched on feedline to obtain band-notched characteristics. Antenna shows omnidirectional pattern on the H plane up to 7 GHz. The cross polarization level is below -20 dB up to 7 GHz. The proposed antenna has measured bandwidth from 2.5 GHz to 16.5 GHz. The antenna has wide bandwidth and large peak gain when compared to the previous studies. For all antennas developed, the effect of different parameters such as the gap between monopole patch and ground plane, width of ground plane, length of the ground plane, dielectric constant, thickness, and patch radius is studied. Measured return loss characteristics and radiation patterns agree well with the simulated ones.

Design of dual-frequency probe-fed microstrip antennas with genetic optimization algorithm
Ozgun, O; Mutlu, S; Aksun, MI; Alatan, Lale (2003-08-01)
Dual-frequency operation of antennas has become a necessity for many applications in recent wireless communication systems, such as GPS, GSM services operating at two different frequency bands, and services of PCS and IMT-2000 applications. Although there are various techniques to achieve dual-band operation from various types of microstrip antennas, there is no efficient design tool that has been incorporated with a suitable optimization algorithm. In this paper, the cavity-model based simulation tool alon...
Design of asymmetric coplanar strip folded dipole antennas /
Karaciğer, Kamil; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
This thesis includes the design, simulation, production and measurement of an asymmetric coplanar strip folded dipole antenna suitable to be used as an element in a linear array operating at S-band (2.7 GHz - 3.3 GHz). In this same manner, its usefulness as an array antenna is also explored in this thesis. This antenna element consists of a microstrip line feed, microstrip to coplanar stripline transition (BALUN) and asymmetric coplanar strip (ACPS) folded dipole. The planar folded dipole can be constructed...
Design of series-fed printed slot antenna arrays excited by microstrip lines
İncebacak, Mustafa; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Series-fed printed slot antenna arrays excited by microstrip lines are low profile, easy to manufacture, low cost structures that found use in applications that doesn’t require high power levels with having advantage of easy integration with microwave front-end circuitry. In this thesis, design and analysis of microstrip line fed slot antenna arrays are investigated. First an equivalent circuit model that ignores mutual coupling effects between slots is studied. A 6-element array is designed by using this e...
Three Dimensional Microfabricated Broadband Patch and Multifunction Reconfigurable Antennae for 60 GHz Applications
Hunerli, H. V.; Mopidevi, H.; Cagatay, E.; Imbert, M.; Romeu, J.; Jofre, L.; Cetiner, B. A.; BIYIKLI, NECMİ (2015-05-17)
In this paper we present two antenna designs capable of covering the IEEE 802.11ad (WiGig) frequency band (57-66 GHz and 59-66 GHz respectively). The work below reports the design, microfabrication and characterization of a broadband patch antenna along with the design and microfabrication of multifunction reconfigurable antenna (MRA) in its static form excluding active switching. The first design is a patch antenna where the energy is coupled with a conductor-backed (CB) coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed loop s...
Design of a dual polarized low profile antenna for microwave brain imaging
Üçel, Kaan; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-9)
In this thesis, a low profile, low cost, wide band (0.9-2GHz) dual linearly polarized printed dipole antenna is designed to be used in microwave brain imaging systems. Dual polarization feature offers superior data acquisition through polarization diversity for better image quality. Starting from a simple printed dipole, antenna structure is modified step by step to meet these design requirements. Since a conductive surface in close vicinity of the antenna affects antenna performance, in order to obtain uni...
