In this paper, Ive propose a bow-tie-shaped meander slot antenna find by a microstrip line to achieve compact size as well as wideband characteristic. While conventional bow-tie slot antennas exhibit wide band characteristic, they have relatively large size. On the other hand, the meander slot antennas are very small, but they reveal quite narrow bandwidth (typically less than 1 %). To realize miniaturized antennas balling large bandwidth, combination of the bow-tie slot and the meander slot geometries is proposed in this paper. Theoretical results show that the proposed antenna with uniform slot width is 65.5 % smaller than that of the conventional bow-tie antenna in size, while the bandwidth is 3 times larger than that of the meander slot antenna. Moreover, the non-uniform slot width antenna shows 60 % smaller in size and about 3.5 times wider in bandwidth than the previous antennas. Measured antenna performance reveals excellent agreement with the predicted values.

In this paper, we propose uniform slot width bow-tie-shaped meander slot antenna for 5 GHz application. The conventional bow-tie slot antenna has broadband characteristic, however, its size is large. Meanwhile, the meander slot antenna has small size, but it has quite narrow bandwidth. The proposed antenna geometry is a variation of the meander slot antenna incorporating bow-tie shape to realize miniaturized antenna having relatively large bandwidth. Simulated results show that with the same slot width and total slot length, the bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 3 times wider than that of meander slot antenna, and its resonant frequency is 3.01 GHz lower than that of the equal size(H x V) bow-tie slot antenna, and measured results show that the bandwidth of proposed antenna is 218 MHz(5.142 GHz ~ 5.360 GHz) which satisfy the required bandwidth from 5.15 GHz to 5.35 GHz.

The various properties such as the electric current distribution, resonant frequency and radiation patterns of open-ended meander slot antenna placed on a small ground plane, are investigated to give the help in performing antenna design. Based upon these characteristics, the designed antenna which is only 22mm($0.06{\lambda}_g$) in height and 31mm($0.09{\lambda}_g$) in width can operate at the 433 MHz with the measured radiation efficiency of 8% and end-fire radiation pattern. These properties make the antenna suitable for the handheld device such as the wireless remote controller.

A meander slot antenna with open-end fed by a microstrip line which can be used at 400 MHz ISM band is newly proposed. The main difference between the proposed slot antenna and the previous slot antenna is the introduction of the open-end to miniaturize the previous meander slot antenna in the space restricted within narrow limit. In order to check the validity of the proposed antenna, the resonant frequency and radiation pattern of the proposed antenna have been simulated and examined. Good agreements between simulated results and measured results have been observed.

Bowtie shaped meander slot antenna with harmonic suppression is designed and demonstrated experimentally. A substrate with height of 0.508 mm and relative permittivity of 2.5 is used, and the fundamental resonant frequency is 5.536 GHz. With thin conductor line in the antenna, harmonic suppression characteristic is obtained, and return losses at the 2nd and 3rd harmonic frequencies are -0.56 dB and -1.9 dB, respectively. Also, bowtie shape is applied to the antenna design for bandwidth enhancement, and the resulting bandwidth is 3.7 %, which is about three times wider than the reported meander slot antenna with harmonic suppression$\^$[1],[2]/.

In this paper, A compact ultra-wideband(UWB) bandpass filter(BPF) with WLAN notched filter has been proposed. H-shaped slot is studied and adopted to tighten the coupling of inter-digital capacitor in order to improve the BPF's performance. Three pairs of tapered defected ground structures(DGS) are formed to assign their transmission zeros towards the out of band signal, thereby suppressing the spurious passband. Also Meander line slot is developed to reject the undesired wireless local-area network(WLAN) radio signals. That's combining these three structures we obtain a small sized UWB BPF.

In this paper, A compact ultra-wideband(UWB) bandpass filter(BPF) with WLAN notched filter has been proposed. H-shared slot is studied and adopted to tighten the coupling of inter-digital capacitor in order to improve the BPF's performance. Three pairs of tapered defected ground structures(DGS) are formed to assign their transmission zeros towards the out of band signal, thereby suppressing the spurious passband. Also Meander line slot is de#eloped to reject the undesired wireless local-area network(WLAN) radio signals. That's combining these three structures we obtain a small sized UWB BPF.

Two substrate integrated waveguide (SIW)-based antennas for the application of software-defined radar are proposed and investigated herein. It is usually well known that SIWs are easily integrated, lightweight, have low insertion loss, and low interference levels compared to conventional microstrip structures. The primary function of the proposed antennas is to transmit continuous waves for indoor motion detection, with the lowest amount of loss and an appropriate amount of gain. Moreover, the results of this study show that the size of the antenna can be reduced significantly (i.e., by about 40%) by applying a meander line structure. The operating frequencies of the proposed antennas are both within the industrial, scientific, and medical band (i.e., 2.4-2.4835 GHz). Measured results of return loss are -16 dB and -20 dB at 2.435 GHz and 2.43 GHz, respectively, and the measured gain is 8.2 dBi and 5.5 dBi, respectively. Antenna design and verification are undertaken through commercially available full electromagnetic software.

In order to design small printed antenna restricted within narrow area of $30mm{\times}8mm$ for the Zigbee module and improve its return loss, meander slot antenna with a floating conductor as the parastic element has been proposed. The resonant frequency and bandwidth(VSWR${\leq}$2) of the antenna designed and fabricated in the present study is about 2.44GHz and 113MHz respectively. The radiation pattern is almost similar to that of dipole antenna within the operation frequency range. Also the radiation efficiency and gain of the proposed antenna is more than 60% and 2.7dBi respectively. It has been observed that the characteristics the proposed antenna mentioned above satisfy the specification required of the Zigbee application. In order to validate the proposed antenna, some simulated and measured results are presented and compared.
