Abstract
The broadband directivity of a trapezoidal coplanar waveguide fed monopole antenna is enhanced by leveraging Fabry-Perot resonance. The single layer partially reflective surface consists of printed square patches. The fabrication involves the use of inkjet printing with silver-based conductive ink to obtain a low-profile partially Fabry-Perot resonator antenna, suitable for conformal and wearable applications. Our measurements demonstrate that the designed inkjet-printed Fabry-Perot resonator antenna exhibits a wide 3-dB gain bandwidth and a maximum gain of 10.6 dBi.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
