  Prototype measurements are the key step in the development of antenna structures. Typically, their far-field characteristics are validated in expensive, dedicated facilities such as open range sites, or anechoic chambers. Despite being necessary for obtaining high-precision data (e.g., for device qualification), the use of costly infrastructure might not be fully justified when the main goal of measurements includes demonstration...

  Experimental validation belongs to the most important steps in the development of antenna structures. Measurements are normally performed in expensive, dedicated facilities such as anechoic chambers, or open-test sites. A high cost of their construction might not be justified when the main goal of antenna verification boils down to demonstration of the measurement procedure, or rough validation of the simulation models used for...

  - AEU-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATIONS - Year 2022

  In this work, a compact monopole antenna for broadband/multi-band and beyond ultra- wideband (UWB) communication has been proposed. The structure is based on a spline-enhanced radiator with a broadband feed and a modified ground plane. Rigorous design optimization of the radiator has been performed in a two-stage framework where optimization of the structure with respect to electrical performance is followed by explicit miniaturization...

  - Year 2022

  A compact monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) and beyond applications has been proposed. The radiator is based on the monopole topology. The super-wideband behavior has been achieved using a combination of spline-based modifications applied to the driven element, as well as utilization of a tapered feed and a slot-modified ground plane. The electrical performance of the structure has been tuned using a numerical optimization...
