Conformal CPW Folded Slot Antenna Array on Kapton Substrate at North Dakota State University

The study conducted at North Dakota State University involves the design and analysis of a conformal CPW folded slot antenna array printed on a Kapton substrate. The research covers topics such as introduction, background, design guidelines, and measurement results. Various parameters of the antenna array, simulation results, and impedance matching behavior are discussed. The resonant frequency, bandwidth, and field patterns on a conformal surface are also evaluated, providing insights into the antenna's performance and applicability.

14. NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY Proposed Design Guidelines b = 5.00 mm, Changes in Geometry s = 61.00 mm, ws = 21.37 mm, Ls = 43.40 mm, r = 41.80 mm, d = 2.00 mm, g = 0.63 mm, m = 1.79 mm, n = 0.71 mm, Lf= 2.77 mm, Changed Parameters: ws , Ls , r , one at a time P = 43.5 mm and Q = 160.5 mm.

15. NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY Proposed Design Guidelines Effect of changes in ws (slot height) Observation: S11 can be improvised by increasing the dimension of the radiating slot of the antenna. Advantage: A better S11 can be obtained without changing the overall dimension of the antenna APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB

16. NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY Proposed Design Guidelines Effect of changes in Ls (slot width) Observation: A second resonance point at 2.3 GHz has been found without any changes of the default characteristics of the antenna Advantage: Dual-band characteristics can be achieved without changing the overall dimension of the antenna APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB

17. NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY Proposed Design Guidelines Effect of changes in r (size of the dipole) Observation: The resonance frequency can be changed by decreasing the size of the dipole exciting the radiating slot of the antenna Advantage: The overall radiating frequency can be decreased without changing the overall dimension of the antenna APPLIED ELECTROMAGNETICS LAB
