"Differential Microstrip Antennas" 
Prof. Zhang IEEE AP Distinguished Lecturer

📍J-P. Dom Auditorium - IMS Laboratory / AP MTT

Abstract : ​The earliest antennas implemented by Hertz for the discovery of radio waves were of the dipole and loop varieties, which are differential in nature. It was Marconi who introduced the ground concept into antennas and developed single-ended monopole antennas for wireless transmission. Compared with differential antennas, single-ended antennas are smaller and therefore have dominated in antenna designs. Compared with single-ended circuits, differential circuits permit higher linearity and lower offset and make them immune to power supply variations, temperature changes, and substrate noise. As a result, differential circuits have dominated in integrated circuit designs. Differential circuits call for differential antennas. This is particularly essential in highly integrated system-on-chip and system-in-package solutions, where the system ground plane may be much smaller than one free-space wavelength. Differential antennas perfectly marry (match) with differential circuits. No lossy balanced/unbalanced conversion circuit is needed. As a result, the receiver noise performance and transmitter power efficiency are improved. This lecture will focus on the analysis, design, and applications of differential microstrip antennas. It will cover differential patch antenna, shorted patch antenna,  planar inverted F antenna, and grid array antenna.
