    Compact CPW-fed Antenna with Controllable WLAN Band-rejection for Microwave Imaging
    (Advanced Electromagnetics, 2024) Mokhtari, Mokhtar; Oussaid, Rachid; Mansoul, Ali; Challal, Mouloud
    This work presents the design and experimental validation of a compact frequency-reconfigurable coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna for application in microwave imaging systems with a capability to switch between UWB modes, with and without WLAN band-notched features. The suggested topology and design process are used to achieve an enhancement in the bandwidth using T-shaped slots between the feedline and the ground plane of the antenna, whereas the WLAN band is rejected using an open loop resonator (OLR) placed on the antenna backside. Switching between UWB with and without WLAN band-notched modes is performed using a single PIN diode. The simulation results corroborate well with the experimental data and clearly show an interesting frequency reconfigurable behavior for use in microwave imaging applications. The antenna performance simulation and analysis model is presented for breast tumor detection.

    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.

    Wideband Printed Antenna for Wireless Communication Systems
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2023) Challal, Mouloud
    A compact and low profile printed monopole antenna for applications in wireless communication systems (WCS) is presented in this paper. The antenna design is based on a rectangular patch along with a V-shaped staircase slot on the top side of the substrate and a partial ground plane on the bottom side. This design technique allows obtaining a wideband operation with bandwidth extended from 2 GHz to more than 8 GHz. The investigated antenna shows a monopole radiation pattern in the H-plane and a bisectional radiation pattern in the E-plane. The measurement and simulation results are in a quite good agreement, which indicates that the antenna is appropriate for WCS.

    Reconfigurable UWB monopole antenna with WLAN Band-Notch characteristic
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2023) Fertas, Khelil; Fertas, Fouad; Challal, Mouloud
    this paper presents a reconfigurable WLAN stopband UWB-monopole antenna with an inverted II-shaped slot embedded at the lower part of the ground plane, and a PIN diode. The proposed antenna has the capability to work in the frequency range of 3.1-10.6 GHz with and without notched-band. To achieve the reconfigurability of a rejected band, a PIN diode is inserted in the middle length of inverted II-shaped slot. The ON/OFF states of the PIN diode can change the antenna performance. The presented antenna is designed on Teflon substrate of dielectric constant 2.5 with loss tangent of 0.002. Good performance regarding reflection coefficient, gain and radiation patterns are presented and discussed

    An UWB bandpass filter with large upper stop band suppression
    (IEEE, 2022) Louazene, Hassiba; Challal, Mouloud; Boulakroune, M’hamed
    An new bandpass filter (BPF) with wide stopband performance for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is presented in this paper. An equivalent RLC circuit model is also shown, and its relevant parameters are derived using parametric relationships. The proposed filter operates from 2.4 GHz to 10.4 GHz. The key advantage of this filter is the large upper stopband without adding any component. Based on good agreement between the results of simulations (using an ECM and a full-wave electromagnetic simulator) and measurements, the proposed filter is appropriate for UWB systems

    A novel miniaturized V-shaped monopole antenna for GSM/WiMAX/WLAN applications
    (De Gruyter, 2023) Fertas, Khelil; Fertas, Fouad; Challal, Mouloud; Denidni, Tayeb A.
    This paper presents a novel miniaturized triple band V-shaped antenna (VSA). The miniaturization and the triple-band operation are obtained by performing two V-shaped turns on the metallic strip. The proposed antenna is printed on a single FR4 substrate and fed using the coplanar waveguide (CPW) technique. It operates in three frequency bands, [1.6–1.95 GHz], [2.8–4.4 GHz] and [5.4–5.8 GHz], with stable bidirectional radiation patterns in both E- and H-planes. A prototype of the designed antenna is fabricated and tested where the observed good agreement between simulated and experimental results indicates that the proposed structure, having a reasonably compact size of 0 . 0166 λ 2 0 , is suitable for GSM [1800 MHz], WiMAX [3.4–3.77 GHz] and WLAN [5.725–5.825 GHz] applications

    Design of miniaturized tri-band antenna based on differential evolution algorithm
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023) Fertas, Fouad; Fertas, Khelil; Denidni, Tayeb A.; Challal, Mouloud
    A novel highly miniaturized triple band structure based on Z-slots-shaped antenna is presented in this letter, with only 0.0015 (Formula presented.) footprint, where (Formula presented.) is the free space wavelength at 1.3 GHz. The proposed design can generates three resonant frequency bands (1.3–1.62 GHz), (2.22–2.59 GHz), and (3.24–3.65 GHz) with −10 dB reflection coefficient, a triple band function is achieved by etching tow connected Z-shaped-slots in the radiating element and the differential evolution algorithm is then used to control the currents path, the prototype of the proposed antenna is printed on a single substrate layer and fed via coplanar waveguide CPW technology. The measured and simulated results are in good agreement, and validate the design principle, the results show that the antenna has a compact size (19.5 × 17.6 mm2), aside from its planar design, simple manufacturing, and low cost to fabricate, this antenna exhibits stable omnidirectional radiation patterns in E plane as well as bidirectional radiation patterns in H plane, making it an ideal device for multiband applications

    A compact double-inverted Ω-shaped dual-band patch antenna for WLAN/WiMAX applications
    (Frequenz : journal of RF-engineering and telecommunications, 2022) Djafri, Kahina; Mouhouche, Faiza; Dehmas, Mokrane; Challal, Mouloud
    In this study, a new compact dual-band antenna with overall size of 11 × 14.46 × 1.6 mm3 has been designed, fabricated and tested. The proposed antenna consists of two inverted Ω-shaped strips loaded with two different comb structures. The fist comb of six elements connected to the first Ω-shaped radiating branch is used to decrease the second band lower cut-off frequency and cover the intended WLAN and WiMAX applications. In order to cover the 2.45 GHz WLAN band and further reduce the antenna dimensions, a second comb structure of 14 elements is attached to the upper radiating branch. The fabricated antenna covers the frequency bands from 2.42 to 2.6 GHz and from 4.25 to 6.77 GHz with a reflection coefficient of |S 11| ≤ −10 dB. The antenna shows an omnidirectional radiation pattern in the H-plane and a monopole-like radiation pattern in the E-plane. The measured results agree well with the simulated ones which indicate that the proposed antenna is suitable to be used in the WLAN/WiMAX applications
