Comb-Shaped Patch Antenna Design Study With Shifted Arms and Asymmetric Architecture Enabling Controlled Resonance Change and Radiation Pattern
(IEEE, 2022) Asian, Melih; Baydar, Huseyin; Kilic, Veli Tayfun; Aslan, Melih
This paper reports comb-shaped patch antennas with asymmetrical geometries having two and three arms on the sides. The proposed geometry is evolved from regular rectangular shaped patch antenna by removing certain parts of the radiator patch and shifting the arms on one side of the antenna. Systematic simulations were obtained with the designed antennas for different arm shifting distances, and changes in resonance behavior and far-field radiation pattern were investigated. Results show that as the arm shifting increases the first and second resonance frequencies of the antennas decrease. Also, it is observed that the radiation occurs with two symmetric beams at the second resonance frequency of the designed antennas with no shift between the arms. However, as the arm shifting is applied the beam on the side of the arms closer to the feeding line gets stronger, whereas the other beam weakens. Obtained plots indicate that the directivity of the antennas have a tendency to increase with the arm shifting while the side lobe level decreases. In addition, results show that the half power beam width of the antenna increases with arm shifting. The simulations were repeated for different arm thicknesses and the same observations were held.

Single and Double Side Comb-Shaped Patch Antenna Design Evolved From Rectangular Shape for Reduced Sized Antenna Applications
(IEEE, 2020) Baydar, Huseyin; Aslan, Melih; Kilic, Veli Tayfun
This paper reports single and double side comb-shaped patch antennas to be used in reduced-sized antenna applications. The proposed antenna designs are evolved from regular rectangular shape antennas. The designed single and double side comb-shaped antennas were investigated in a complete set of study together with the rectangular shape antenna that resonates at 5 GHz frequency. Reflection coefficient (S-11) parameter of the designed comb-shaped antennas and the rectangular antenna were calculated together with three-dimensional (3D) directivity patterns in simulations for different arm lengths, arm widths, and arm numbers of the comb-shaped antennas. Results show that with the comb-shaped antennas it is possible to shift the resonance frequency of a regular rectangular shape antenna to a frequency lower than its half without enlarging the foot-print area or with the smaller foot-print area. Also, resonance frequency change and peak directivity variations at resonance frequencies of the antennas with geometrical parameters of the antennas were calculated, too. The findings indicate that due to the large number of geometrical parameters that come with the nature of the comb shape, comb-shaped antennas provide more flexibility while constructing an antenna.
Study of Helical Antenna Endowing Short Wire Length and Compact Structure for High-Frequency Operations and Its Exclusive Manufacturing Process
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2023) Aslan, Melih; Sik, Kaan; Güzelkara, Izzet; Özdür, Ibrahim Tuna; Kilic, Veli Tayfun
In this paper a study of a helical antenna resonating at high-frequency (HF) band with a very compact structure is reported. The designed antenna's S11 parameter magnitude change with frequency was calculated for different geometrical parameters. For each case, first, only a single parameter was changed. Then for a fair comparison, multiple parameters were changed simultaneously while the total wire length was set to be constant. Also, shifts in resonance frequencies and variations in -10 dB bandwidths were investigated. Our results show that resonance behaviour changes distinctively with the geometrical parameters and it allows shortening of the antenna wire length. For the designed antenna, the resonances shift to lower frequencies and -10 dB bandwidths around the resonances decrease as the winding wire thickness, number of turns, and turn radius increase. Whereas as the turn spacing increases the resonances shift to higher frequencies and -10 dB bandwidths widen, although the total wire length of the antenna increases. To verify the simulation results, the designed antenna was fabricated with an exclusive manufacturing process and characterized. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation results. It demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed manufacturing technique, which is new in the literature and enables accurate and rigid antenna fabrication with simple and low-cost steps.
