TL;DR: A dual-band coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed printed antenna with rectangular shape design blocks having ultrawideband characteristics, proposed and implemented on an FR4 substrate, which is very suitable for the future 5G Internet of Things (IoT) portable applications.
Abstract: This paper presents a dual-band coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed printed antenna with rectangular shape design blocks having ultrawideband characteristics, proposed and implemented on an FR4 substrate. The size of the proposed antenna is just 25 mm × 35 mm. A novel rounded corners technique is used to enhance not only the impedance bandwidth but also the gain of the antenna. The proposed antenna design covers two ultrawide bands which include 1.1–2.7 GHz and 3.15–3.65 GHz, thus covering 2.4 GHz Bluetooth/Wi-Fi band and most of the bands of 3G, 4G, and a future expected 5G band, that is, 3.4–3.6 GHz. Being a very low-profile antenna makes it very suitable for the future 5G Internet of Things (IoT) portable applications. A step-by-step design process is carried out to obtain an optimized design for good impedance matching in the two bands. The current densities and the reflection coefficients at different stages of the design process are plotted and discussed to get a good insight into the final proposed antenna design. This antenna exhibits stable radiation patterns on both planes, having low cross polarization and low back lobes with a maximum gain of 8.9 dB. The measurements are found to be in good accordance with the simulated results.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-profile, compact, quad-port super-wideband (SWB) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is presented for the internet of things (IoT) applications.
Abstract: In this article, a low-profile, compact, quad-port super-wideband (SWB) multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is presented for the internet of things (IoT) applications. The proposed antenna comprises four identical sickle-shaped resonating elements, which are excited by tapered coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed lines. The antenna elements are arranged in rotational symmetry (mutually orthogonal to each other) to achieve high port isolation. A complementary slot, which matches the sickle-shaped radiator, is etched from the ground of the proposed monopole antenna element to achieve massive bandwidth. The MIMO antenna possesses a resonating bandwidth ( $\vert S_{11}\vert \le -10$ dB) of 1.3–40 GHz and a bandwidth ratio of 31:1. In addition, an L-shaped slit and a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) are introduced in the sickle-shaped radiator to reject Bluetooth (2.4 GHz), WLAN (5.5 GHz), and downlink of X-band satellite communication (7.5 GHz) signals from the SWB. The proposed MIMO antenna is fabricated and experimental results are found in agreement with the simulated results.

TL;DR: A novel reconfigurable filtering antenna with three tunable states used for IoT applications using the combination of a hairpin filter and an open loop filter in the structure with the switching of p-i-n diodes is presented.
Abstract: This paper presents a novel reconfigurable filtering antenna with three tunable states used for IoT applications. The frequency reconfigurability is achieved using the combination of a hairpin filter and an open loop filter in the structure with the switching of p-i-n diodes. The open-loop filter structure provides two narrow band states at 2.4 GHz and 7.8 GHz, and the hairpin filter provides a single narrow band state at 10.4 GHz. The frequency reconfiguration is obtained without compromising the compact size of the designed circuit along with the targeted frequency bands at lower WLAN (2.47 GHz), WiMAX (3.42 GHz), INSAT C-band (7.18 GHz), fixed/mobile satellite service in X-band (8.4 GHz), direct broadcast service in Ku-band (12.14 GHz) applications. The prototype is constructed on an FR4 substrate and tested for validation in an anechoic chamber. The designed antenna provides excellent radiation characteristics and considerable gain at resonant frequencies. The proposed reconfigurable antenna is also tested using the CDAC Cmote device in the real-time environment and found more suitable for the IoT based communication applications.

TL;DR: The procedure of synthesis of the meander delay system is presented using the Pareto-optimal multilayer perceptron network and multiple linear regression model with the M5 descriptor and the prediction of parameters allowed to speed up the process of synthesis multiple times from hours to only 2.3 s.
Abstract: Meander structures are highly relevant in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) communication systems, their miniaturization remains as one of the key design issues. Meander structures allow to decrease the size of the IoT device, while maintaining the same operating parameters of the IoT device. Meander structures can also work as the delay systems, which can be used for the delay and synchronization of signals in IoT devices. The design procedure of the meander delay systems is time-consuming and cumbersome because of the complexity of the numerical and analytical methods employed during the design process. New methods, which will accelerate the synthesis procedure of the meander delay systems, should be investigated. This is especially relevant when the procedure of synthesis must be repeated many times until the appropriate configuration of the IoT device is found. We present the procedure of synthesis of the meander delay system using the Pareto-optimal multilayer perceptron network and multiple linear regression model with the M5 descriptor. The prediction results are compared with results, which were obtained using the commercial Sonnet© software package and with the results of physical experiment. The difference between the experimentally achieved and predicted results did not exceed 1.53 %. Moreover, the prediction of parameters of the meander delay system allowed to speed up the procedure of synthesis multiple times from hours to only 2.3 s.

TL;DR: The system’s isolation performance along with its flexible and thin profile suggests that the proposed antenna is suitable for integration within flexible Internet of Things (IoT) wireless systems.
Abstract: In this paper a flexible compact antenna array operating in the 3.213 GHz which covers the standard UltraWide Band (UWB) frequency range is presented. The design is aimed at integration within Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) based flexible electronics for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The proposed antenna is printed on a single side of a 50.8 μm Kapton Polyimide substrate and consists of two half-elliptical shaped radiating elements fed by two Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) structures. The simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna array achieves a broad impedance bandwidth with reasonable isolation performance (S12 < −23 dB) across the operating bandwidth. Furthermore, the proposed antenna exhibits a low susceptibility to performance degradation caused by the effect of bending. The system’s isolation performance along with its flexible and thin profile suggests that the proposed antenna is suitable for integration within flexible Internet of Things (IoT) wireless systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a new design of small microstrip antenna with variable band-notched filtering characteristic for super ultra-wideband (UWB) applications including 5G/IoT networks is presented.
Abstract: In this work, a new design of small microstrip antenna with variable band-notched filtering characteristic for super ultra-wideband (UWB) applications including 5G/IoT networks is presented. In the proposed structure by creating steps with optimized appropriate sizes and angles in the lower edges of the quasi-square patch antenna and by a new technique of modifying the ground plane, more efficient radiation patterns and characteristic impedance are achieved. Moreover, the omnidirectional low cross-polarized H-plane radiation patterns are obtained in frequency band of 3–11 GHz. Also, its radiation patterns are improved between 11 and 14.5 GHz and have better performance especially with tuning capacitors between 14.5 and 20 GHz. In addition, its frequency bandwidth with VSWR < 2 is from 3GHz to 50 GHz which covers 5G networks and both ultra-wideband (UWB) and super wideband (SWB) communications. A rectangular slot on the patch is used to create an integrated band-notch filter in the structure to avoid interference with other wireless systems like wireless local area networks (WLANs), and this specification can be activated or deactivated by a PIN diode. In addition, the center frequency of the filter can be tuned by just a varactor diode or a variable capacitor and/or by changing the position of the capacitors in frequency range of about 3.5–6 GHz, which rejects interference of all WLANs and even their lower and upper bands, and nulls in the radiation patterns can be changed especially in upper bands as well. The final structure simulation results are in good agreement with measurement ones.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reduced size microstrip monopole slot antennas with different slot shapes-straight, L and inverted T, and placed on a small ground plane, are investigated.
Abstract: Reduced size microstrip monopole slot antennas with different slot shapes-straight, L and inverted T, and placed on a small ground plane, are investigated. The ground plane size is 50 mm/spl times/80 mm, which is about the size of a typical PC Wireless card. Detailed simulation and experimental investigations are conducted to understand their behavior and optimize for broadband operation. It is shown that, the variation in the slot shape, from straight to L and T shapes, helps in generating additional resonances, which when coupled to the original resonances of the slot, further increases impedance bandwidths. The bent shapes of the L and T slots reduce their height and provide more space on the ground plane for electronics. A mirror image dual L-slot antenna, placed at two adjacent corners of the ground plane, is also investigated and optimized for the polarization diversity. They provide an impedance bandwidth of 87%, with near orthogonal radiation characteristics. The measured impedance bandwidths (S/sub 11/=-10 dB) of up to 60%, 84%, and 80% are achieved for these straight, L and inverted T slots respectively, by suitably selecting their design parameters. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data considering several practical issues.

Abstract: A low-cost inkjet-printed multiband antenna envisioned for integration into flexible and conformal mobile devices is presented. The antenna structure contains a novel triangular iterative design with coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed, printed on a Kapton polyimide-based flexible substrate with dimensions of $ 70\times 70\times 0.11~\hbox{mm}^{\bf 3}$ . The antenna covers four wide frequency bands with measured impedance bandwidths of 54.4%, 14%, 23.5% and 17.2%, centered at 1.2, 2.0, 2.6 and 3.4 GHz, respectively, thus, enabling it to cover GSM 900, GPS, UMTS, WLAN, ISM, Bluetooth, LTE 2300/2500 and WiMAX standards. The antenna has omnidirectional radiation pattern with a maximum gain of 2.1 dBi. To characterize the flexibility of the antenna, the fabricated prototype is tested in convex and concave bent configurations for radii of 78 mm and 59 mm. The overall performance remains unaffected, except a minor shift of 20 MHz and 60 MHz in S11, for concave bending at both radii. The compact, lightweight and conformal design as well as multiband performance in bent configurations, proves the suitability of the antenna for future electronic devices.
