    Design and Experimental Validation of a Microstrip Patch Antenna Array for Long-range Wireless Power Transfer
    (2021) Abdelali, Arous; Haif, Hamza; Challal, Mouloud
    In this work, a new microstrip antenna array for wireless power transfer (WPT) applications is designed, fabricated and measured. The proposed 1 × 4 antenna array operating at 2.45 GHz, based on defected ground structure (DGS), electromagnetic band gap (EBG), and multilayer parasitic elements, is designed using a commercial substrate FR-4 with relative dielectric constant of 4.3, thickness of 1.5 mm, copper thickness of 0.035 mm and loss tangent of 0.017. The antenna offers -10 dB bandwidth of 180 MHz with beam width, gain, and directivity to be 24.7°, 10.90 dB and 13.30 dBi, respectively. Moreover, an SLL less than -20 dB, a return loss less than -35 dB, and polarization purity in the E-plane of –20.6 dB and in the H-plane of -80 dB are obtained with radiation efficiency of 53%.

    A Novel Design of a Microstrip Antenna Array for Wireless Power Transfer Applications
    (Springer, 2024) Dehmas, Mokrane; Challal, Mouloud; Arous, Abdelali; Haif, Hamza
    In this article, a new 1 × 4 microstrip antenna array operating at 2.45 GHz for wireless power transfer (WPT) applications is proposed. Besides the array configuration, and for maximum power transfer to the load, the performed design puts into contribution three other design techniques which are: defected ground structure, electromagnetic band gap and multilayer topology. The suggested antenna, printed on an FR-4 dielectric substrate, achieves significantly improved directivity and gain of 13.30 dBi and 10.90 dBi, respectively. Furthermore, an input reflection coefficient around − 38 dB, a frequency bandwidth of about 180 MHz and a side lobe level (SLL) below − 20 dB are obtained. It is also observed that the antenna gain is close to its maximum performance across the entire operating frequency band (2.36–2.54 GHz). A prototype of the performed design is fabricated and tested. Experimental results show a good agreement between simulated and measured input reflection coefficients. The achieved performances make the developed structure highly suitable for WPT systems.
