Q-Factor Bounds for Microstrip Patch Antennas

Anja Skrivervik

Antenna bounds are a useful tool in assessing the feasibility or performance of an antenna design. Microstrip patch antennas are often limited by their relatively narrow bandwidth, and therefore Q-factor is an important design parameter, as it is related t ...

Enhancing the beamwidth of low profile single-fed microstrip antennas using parasitic elements

Anja Skrivervik, Ismael Vico Triviño

In this paper we present a technique to broaden the beamwidth of conventional patch microstrip antennas by using parasitic elements. This technique allows to keep the main advantages of microstrip antennas while increasing their beamwidth. We provide guide ...

Circularly Polarized Axially Corrugated Feed Horn for CubeSat Reflectarray Applications

Anja Skrivervik, Miroslav Veljovic

Retlectarray (RA) and transmitarray (TA) antennas that use the element-rotation technique require the radiation from the feeding antenna to be circularly polarized (CP). A CP axially corrugated horn antenna is developed as a feeding element for CubeSat RA ...
