Abstract

A novel design of multiple inputmultiple output (MIMO) antenna based on the log-periodic
dipole array (LPDA) for the mobile handsets is presented. The antenna operates in a wide
frequency range of 1.863.84 GHz compatible with GSM, LTE, WLAN, and WiMAX. The
MIMO design consists of two symmetrical and orthogonal radiating elements and a
neutralization line (NL). The radiating element comprises a LPDA having a series of printed
dipoles connected together with a microstrip line. Triangular and rectangular cuts on ground
plane are carried out in accordance with the LPDAs so as to increase the impedance bandwidth
and isolation. The antenna elements are linked with the NL to further enhance the isolation
between the radiating elements. The performance of the MIMO antenna is analyzed in terms of
S-parameters, radiation pattern, gain, total efficiency, envelope correlation coefficient, mean
effective gain, multiplexing efficiency; and then it is verified through the measurements. The
results demonstrate that the proposed MIMO antenna has good characteristics of wideband, gain,
radiation pattern, isolation, and diversity.

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach for design of the log-periodic dipole array
antenna (LPDA) based on using of different design parameters in the LPDA elements
to control the antenna behavior. In the proposed procedure, the design parameters
can control the value of forward gain over the operating frequency range, and also
adjust the gain flatness. Furthermore, this design procedure can decrease the LPDA
dimensions in comparison to the conventional design. Based on the proposed
design method, several LPDA antennas are designed and simulated numerically by
the method of moment. The simulation results show that this LPDA design
procedure can be a good candidate for design of optimized antenna in different
frequency bands.

Abstract
solar burst monitor in the range of (45 -870) MHz applications is presented. In this paper, we
make an effort in designing a portable LPDA that suitable with the criteria, specification and
practical enough although is the boom length size of the antenna is 5.45 meter. We choose value
of 0.14 spacing factor = 0.8 as a directivity of antenna. This LPDA is constructed by using two
(2) rod aluminums type with nineteenth (19) elements of different sizes. Some of suggestions on
improving this design are also presented.

Abstract
The Sun is considered as one of the strongest radio sources and observation in radio region can
provide information on structures throughout the solar atmosphere. In radio wavelengths, we
could possible to investigate high quality images within an arc second resolution at different
layers of the solar atmosphere. Solar monitoring in this wavelength makes various demands on
the used antennas. Therefore, Logarithmic Periodic dipole Antenna (LPDA) was constructed for
monitoring Sun in the range of (45 870) MHz to precisely match the environmental
requirements. Our work focuses on preparation and performance of the antenna. Observation
results of the site will also be highlighted. From the analysis, we found that the signal to noise
ratio is 3.9 dB. We also make an effort analyze a y-factor of a data by select a range of frequency
from 220 MHz till 250 MHz due to this range consists burst. By constructing and understanding
the principle of the log dipole periodic antenna and then connect it to the CALLISTO
spectrometer as receiver, some solar activities observations such as solar flares and Coronal Mass
Ejections (CMEs) can be done. In conclusion, the log-periodic dipole antenna (LPDA) is remains
the simplest antenna with reliable bandwidth and gain estimates.
