Article Synopsis
  • This paper presents a planar antipodal meander line antenna made from RO3003 substrate, designed for end-fire radiation with a maximum gain of 10.43 dBi, effective for WLAN/WiMAX applications between 2.24 GHz and 2.7 GHz.
  • The design process demonstrates that both gain and bandwidth can be adjusted independently by modifying specific parameters, allowing for customization based on application needs.
  • Experimental results indicate the antenna achieves high radiation efficiency of 99.8% at 2.35 GHz, features a low profile, and is easy to fabricate, outperforming other end-fire antennas in its class.

With the development of nanotechnologies, researchers have brought the concept of antenna to the optical regime for manipulation of nano-scaled light matter interactions. Most optical nanoantennas optimize optical function, but are not electrically connected. In order to realize functions that require electrical addressing, optical nanoantennas that are electrically continuous are desirable.

In this paper, a comprehensive integral equation formulation of plasmonic transmission lines is presented for the first time. Such lines are made up of a number of metallic strips with arbitrary shapes and dimensions immersed within a stack of planar dielectric or metallic layers. These lines support a number of propagating modes.
