A Reconfigurable Wideband and Multiband Antenna Using Dual-Patch Elements for Compact Wireless Devices

TL;DR: In this article, a reconfigurable wideband and multiband C-slot patch antenna with dual-patch elements is proposed and studied, where two parallel C-Slots on the patch elements are employed to perturb the surface current paths for excitation of the dual-band and wideband modes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wideband microstrip patch antenna design for breast cancer tumour detection

TL;DR: In this article, a patch antenna is presented which has been designed to radiate frequencies in the range 4-9.5 GHz into human breast tissue and is shown by means of previously unpublished simulation and practical measurements to possess a wide input bandwidth, radiation patterns that remain largely consistent over the band of interest and a good front-to-back ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical investigation of breast tumour detection using multi-static radar

TL;DR: A breast cancer detection technique using multi-static radar, using backscatter data produced from an anatomically realistic 2D MRI-derived FDTD model of the breast is proposed, although clarity of detection is dependent on mitigating antenna mutual coupling and skin reflections.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Novel Transparent UWB Antenna for Photovoltaic Solar Panel Integration and RF Energy Harvesting

TL;DR: A novel transparent ultra-wideband antenna for photovoltaic solar-panel integration and RF energy harvesting, designed and fabricated to provide UWB communications whilst integrated onto solar panels as well as harvest electromagnetic waves from free space and convert them into electrical energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiband Inverted-F Antenna With Independent Bands for Small and Slim Cellular Mobile Handsets

TL;DR: In this article, a small ultra-thin printed inverted-F antenna (PIFA) with independent control on the resonant frequency bands is proposed and optimized to operate at 2.09, 3.74 and 5 GHz with achievable bandwidths of 11, 8.84% and 10%, respectively.
