Abstract

A new compact microstrip antenna technology for wireless sensor network is proposed in this paper. The shape of the planar microstrip line network is inspired by the dendritic tree of the natural neuron architecture given in free international neuron data bases. The major considerations of the bio-inspired antenna are compact size, multi resonant response, omnidirectional or directional pattering, beam scanning and frequency agility. The resonant frequencies, current distribution on the central strip, and radiation patterns are evaluated by simulation software tools. Several key parameters are discussed. The scope and future perspective of this paper are to develop new bio-inspired microwave antennas with tree structure having unequal and diversity spatial distribution of branches, small size and multi resonant operating capabilities.
