    Compact modified hexagonal spiral resonator-based tri-band patch antenna with octagonal slot for Wi-Fi/wlan applications
    (Electromagnetics Academy, 2020-10-12) Rajalakshmi, Pitchai; Gunavathi, N
    In this paper, a compact modified hexagonal spiral resonator-based tri-band patch antenna with an octagonal slot is presented for Wi-Fi/WLAN applications. The proposed antenna is designed on a low-cost FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of εr=4.4 and loss tangent δ=0.02. The tri-band operations have been achieved by the a Modified Hexagonal Complementary Spiral Resonator (MHCSR) and an Octagonal slot. The loading of the MHCSR at the bottom of the substrate is to cover the 900MHz (IEEE 802.11ah) band, and an Octagonal slot on top of the 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11a/h/j/n/ac/ax) rectangle patch is to cover the 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax)band. The prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated and tested to validate the simulation results. The measured impedance bandwidth is 105 MHz at 900 MHz, 160 MHz at 2.4 GHz, 18 0MHz at 5 GHz. The designed antenna has a compact size with overall dimensions of 0.054λ0 x 0.066 λ0 x 0.0048 λ0 (18 x 22 x 1.6 mm3). The 82.2% reduction in size has been accomplished as compared to a conventional patch antenna at 900MHz (lower resonance frequency). The waveguide setup method has been used to validate a negative permittivity property of the MHCSR. The parametric analysis of the proposed antenna had been carried out using the Ansoft HFSS19 software

    Gain enhancement of cross shaped patch antenna for IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi applications
    (Electromagnetics Academy, 2018-12-07) Rajalakshmi, Pitchai; Gunavathi,. N
    In this paper, a dual band high gain miniaturized cross shaped patch antenna is proposed for IEEE 802.11ax applications. The radiating patch size is 0.330λ0x0.417λ0 on a low cost Flame Retardant 4 substrate. A cross shaped radiating element is designed to cover the upper band of IEEE 802.11ax, and a four ring circular Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) is etched on the cross shaped radiating element to cover the lower band of IEEE802.11ax. Thus the dual bands of 802.11ax are achieved. In order to enhance the gain, 2x2 array hexagonal metamaterial unit cell is positioned behind the substrate. To extract the constitutive parameters of the circular CSRR, NRW (Nicolson-Ross-Wier) retrieval method is used. The measured maximum gain is approximately 6 dBi, 10 dBi for 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, respectively. Parametric study on the geometrical dimensions is investigated using HFSS 15.0.

    Hexagonal split ring resonator enclosed circular split ring resonator inspired dual-band antenna for sub-6 Ghz 5G Nr and IEEE 802.11ba/be applications
    (Electromagnetics Academy, 2021-08-13) Rajalakshmi, Pitchai; Gunavathi, N
    In this article, a novel Hexagonal Split-Ring Resonator enclosed Circular Split-Ring Resonator (HSRR-CSRR) inspired printed antenna is presented for sub-6 GHz 5G NR and IEEE 802.11ba/be applications. The proposed antenna comprises an HSRR-CSRR and a D-SHSRR metamaterial unit cell with a partial ground plane. The designed antenna is printed on a low-cost FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant εr of 4.4, thickness of 1.6 mm, and loss tangent of 0.02. An HSRR-CSRR metamaterial structure is designed to get the three distinct resonance frequencies at 3.5 GHz, 5.05 GHz, and 6.2 GHz, respectively. To cover the entire band of Sub-6 GHz 5G NR (5-6 GHz), a Double-slit Single Hexagonal Split Ring Resonator (D-SHSRR) is designed for 5.8 GHz and loaded along with the HSRR-CSRR. The operating principle, equivalent circuit, and parametric extraction of the HSRR-CSRR structure are examined. Compared to the conventional antenna, the proposed antenna has a compact size of (0.38λg×0.52λg×0.03λg). The antenna parameters have been investigated using Ansys HFSS 15.0 software. The measured and simulated results are in good agreement.
