Item Design and simulation of high gain 2-element, 4-element and 16-element arrays of microstrip patch antenna for terahertz applications based on photonic crystals(AIP Publishing, 2024) Benlakehal, Mohamed Elamine; Shayea, Ibraheem; El-Saleh, Ayman A.; Alhammadi, AbdulraqebIn the past years, the study of microstrip patch antennas has made significant progress because of their miniature size, low cost, compatibility, and ease of manufacture compared to traditional antennas. In this study, different microstrip patch antenna array configurations including 2-element, 4-element and 16-element were studied and designed in the range of frequencies of 0.25- 0.55 THz. This study aims to enhance the gain and the radiation properties of these proposed antenna array configurations using air cylinder holes photonic band gap (PBG) substrate instead of the homogeneous substrate. Simulation was conducted with the help of CST Microwave Studio software for the different substrates. To obtain better radiation properties, the proposed antenna arrays have around 0.35 THz resonant frequencies where there exists a low atmospheric attenuation window in the terahertz band. The outcomes demonstrated that the studied antenna arrays based on the photonic band gap substrate provided additional performance in terms of the return loss, bandwidth, gain, directivity and beamwidth compared to their corresponding conventional antenna arrays counterparts based on the homogeneous substrate. Among all designed antenna array configurations, the 16-element antenna array based on the photonic band gap has successfully achieved impressive gain and directivity performance of 16.75 dB and 17.40 dBi, respectively. Finally, the proposed antenna arrays are highly promising candidates for wireless communications, imaging, sensing, medical diagnosis and threat detection.Item Erratum : new UWB antenna design for wireless communications(Wiley, 2012) Bitchikh, M.; Aksas, R.; Kimouche, H.; Azrar, ArabItem A 2.3-14 GHz UWB planar octagonal antenna with modified ground plane(Wiley Periodicals, 2013) Bitchikh, M.; Aksas, R.; Azrar, Arab; Kimouche, H.Item UWB coplanar waveguide octagonal antenna(Springer, 2016) Bitchikh, Mounira; Azrar, Arab; Aksas, RabiaItem Sidelobe level reduction in linear array pattern synthesis using particle swarm optimization(Springer, 2012) Recioui, AbdelmadjidThe design of nonuniformly spaced linear array antennas using Particle Swarm Optimization method is considered. The purpose is to match a desired radia- tion pattern and improve the performance of these arrays in terms of sidelobe level. This performance criterion determines how well the system is suitable for wireless communication applications and interference reduction. Two approaches are consid- ered: in the first, the design of element placement with the constraint of array length being imposed is performed. The second is based on element position perturbation starting from a uniform element distribution. Many examples are treated to show the effectiveness of the designs and the effect some other parameters might have on the overall performance of the arrayItem New UWB antenna design for wireless communications(2012) Bithikh, M.; Aksas, R.; Kimouche, H.; Azrar, A.The presented work in this article concerns a new ultra-wideband antenna design with an octagonal configuration and reduced dimensions. Different prototypes have been simulated and implemented in the form of monopoles. These prototypes have shown an admissible agreement between simulations and measurements and ultra-wide bands running from 3.1 to 14 GHz for wireless applications. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
