In recent years, wireless communications have progressed very rapidly. The IEEE 802.16 Working Group has created a new standard, commonly known as WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), for a low cost, broadband, wireless access at high speed, which is easy to deploy. 1 WiMAX technology can reach a...

There is an increasing demand for broadband multimedia components to satisfy the ever-increasing capacity of wireless networks. In particular, for dense local communications, the 60 GHz band for wireless personal area network (WPAN) applications is of special interest for short-range communications, due to the RF attenuation of the atmospheric...

Microstrip patches are an attractive type of antenna because of their low cost, conformability and ease of manufacture. The aperture-coupled configuration 1 also provides the advantage of isolating spurious feed radiation by using a common ground plane. The primary barrier to the implementation of these antennas in many applications,...

The short backfire (SBF) is a highly effective aperture antenna of simple and compact construction. Basically, it consists of three elements: two parallel reflectors, large and small, spaced a half-wavelength apart, which form a leaky resonant cavity, and a cavity feed (half-wave dipole, 1–3 waveguide or horn, 4,5 or...

For many years, military applications have required broad bandwidth communication links, incorporating antennas that have a similar broadband capability. Often the antennas must operate over a frequency range of several octaves. Consequently, antenna structures that have multi-octave capability have been designed and manufactured and these techniques are now proving...
