Low Cost Compact Omini-Directional Printed Antenna

View page
US Patent:
6480162, Nov 12, 2002
Filed:
Jan 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/758955
Inventors:
Kazem F. Sabet - Ann Arbor MI
Kamal Sarabandi - Ann Arbor MI
Linda P. B. Katehi - Northville MI
Panayiotis Frantzis - Ann Arbor MI
Assignee:
EMAG Technologies, LLC - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
H01Q 1310
US Classification:
343767, 343770
Abstract:
An omni-directional printed antenna that includes at least two wound slot antenna elements. The spacing between the elements, the lengths of the elements and the feed location of the elements are selected to provide a desirable electromagnetic coupling between the elements that causes the narrow bandwidth of the individual elements to combine into a wide bandwidth while providing an omni-directional radiation pattern. Winding the elements together in this manner also allows different antennas for different frequency bands to be combined as a single antenna in a small space. Further, the printed antenna can be patterned on a copper tape to create a sticker type antenna that can be readily mounted on different surfaces.

Integrated Planar Antenna Printed On A Compact Dielectric Slab Having An Effective Dielectric Constant

View page
US Patent:
6509880, Jan 21, 2003
Filed:
Apr 19, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/838711
Inventors:
Kazem F Sabet - Ann Arbor MI
Kamal Sarabandi - Ann Arbor MI
Linda P. B. Katehi - Northville MI
Tayfun Ozdemir - Ann Arbor MI
Assignee:
EMAG Technologies, Inc. - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
H01Q 1310
US Classification:
343770, 343700 MS, 343769
Abstract:
An integrated planar antenna including a metalized ground plane printed on a dielectric slab. One or more slot antenna elements are etched into the metalized layer, and resonate at a particular resonant frequency band. A plurality of voids extend through the slab and act to vary the dielectric constant of the slab so that resonant waves are suppressed in the slab, thus reducing power loss in the antenna. The voids can be selectively localized in the slab to provide various functions, such as impedance matching and reduction of antenna element coupling. The voids can take on any shape and configuration in accordance with a particular antenna design scheme so as to optimize the effective dielectric constant for a particular application. In one particular design, the voids are formed in a random manner completely through slab, and the voids have an opening diameter less than {fraction (1/20)}th of the operational wavelength of the antenna. The voids are formed by a suitable mechanical or laser drilling operation.

Multifunction Antenna For Wireless And Telematic Applications

US Patent:
6664932, Dec 16, 2003
Filed:
Feb 27, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/084576
Inventors:
Kazem F. Sabet - Ann Arbor MI
Kamal Sarabandi - Ann Arbor MI
Linda P. B. Katehi - Northville MI
Panayiotis Frantzis - Ann Arbor MI
Assignee:
EMAG Technologies, Inc. - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
H01Q 1310
US Classification:
343770, 343765, 343700 MS
Abstract:
A multifunction printed antenna for wireless and telematic applications. In one embodiment, GPS and satellite radio patch antenna elements are printed on one side of a printed circuit board and AMPS, PCS, GSM and terrestrial radio slot antenna elements are etched in a ground plane on an opposite side of the same printed circuit board. In an alternate embodiment, the GPS and satellite radio patch antenna elements are elements mounted on one printed circuit board and the AMPS, GSM, PCS and terrestrial radio slot antenna elements are etched in a ground plane on another printed circuit board rigidly secured orthogonal to the GPS and satellite printed circuit board. The AMPS, GSM and PCS circuit board can be curved to reduce the nulls at the edges of the circuit board. Further, the edge of the AMPS, GSM and PCS circuit board that contacts the GPS and satellite radio circuit board can have a saw-tooth pattern so that edge currents are reduced.

Electro-Ferromagnetic, Tunable Electromagnetic Band-Gap, And Bi-Anisotropic Composite Media Using Wire Configurations

View page
US Patent:
6933812, Aug 23, 2005
Filed:
Oct 10, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/683065
Inventors:
Kamal Sarabandi - Ann Arbor MI, US
Hossein Mosallaei - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
H01P007/00
US Classification:
333219, 333205
Abstract:
An artificial electro-ferromagnetic meta-material demonstrates the design of tunable band-gap and tunable bi-anisotropic materials. The medium is obtained using a composite mixture of dielectric, ferro-electric, and metallic materials arranged in a periodic fashion. By changing the intensity of an applied DC field the permeability of the artificial electro-ferromagnetic can be properly varied over a particular range of frequency. The structure shows excellent Electromagnetic Band-Gap (EBG) behavior with a band-gap frequency that can be tuned by changing the applied DC field intensity. The building block of the electro-ferromagnetic material is composed of miniaturized high Q resonant circuits embedded in a low-loss dielectric background. The resonant circuits are constructed from metallic loops terminated with a printed capacitor loaded with a ferro-electric material. Modifying the topology of the embedded-circuit, a bi-anisotropic material (tunable) is examined.

Slot Antenna

View page
US Patent:
7075493, Jul 11, 2006
Filed:
May 1, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/511858
Inventors:
Reza Azadegan - Ann Arbor MI, US
Kamal Sarabandi - Ann Arbor MI, US
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor MI
International Classification:
H01Q 13/10
US Classification:
343767, 343895
Abstract:
The present invention disclosed design aspects and the measured results of a miniaturized resonant narrow slot antenna. The resonant narrow slot radiating elements have a planar geometry and are capable of transmitting vertical polarization when placed nearly horizontal. A resonant narrow slot antenna according to the present invention simplifies impedance matching. Slot dipoles can be excited by a microstrip line and can be matched to arbitrary line impedances by moving the feed point along the slot. Antenna miniaturization can be achieved by using a high permittivity or permeability substrate and superstrate materials and/or using an appropriate antenna topology. Miniaturization is achieved through providing a unique geometry for a resonant narrow slot antenna. A very efficient radiating element is provided. With the virtual enforcement of the required boundary condition at the end of a slot antenna, the area occupied by the resonant antenna can be reduced.
