About this template
This template was designed to produce a 100cm x 100cm poster.
You can modify it as needed for your presentation before you send it back to
PosterPresentations.com for premium quality, same day (rush-free) affordable
printing.
By using this template poster will look professional, easy to read and save you
valuable time from figuring out proper placement of titles, subtitles and text body.
For poster design beginners we have included many helpful tips you can find on the
poster template itself.
For better understanding of the poster-making process, we have also added a series
of helpful online tutorials that will guide you through the poster design process and
answer most of your poster production questions.
You can access the online tutorials from our HelpDesk page at:

Poster Basics Poster Layout

Text Sizes
For this template we use the Arial font family at several recommended text sizes. You
can use any typeface you like and at any size but try to stay close to the suggested
limits.
Figure 4 gives a visual reference of what different font sizes look like when printed at
100% and at 200%.
Due to a page size limitation in PowerPoint and unless your poster is going to be less
than 56 in length, all the work done on this template is at half the size of the final
poster. For example, if you choose a 21 point font for this poster, the actual printed
size will appear as 42 points.
Figure 4
Changing the posters column layout
Depending on how you layout your poster, you may want to change the column layout
configuration.
For your convenience, we have included alternate master layouts. To select a different
layout go to FORMAT>SLIDE DESIGN (Figure 5). The slide design pane will open.
From there you can select an alternate layout (Figure 6).
Figure 5 Figure 6
Customizing the template color schemes
For those who wish to further personalize their poster presentation, we have included
a number of printer-tested alternative color schemes for this poster template.
If you want to change the default colors and use your own color scheme, go to
FORMAT>SLIDE DESIGN (Figure 7). The SLIDE DESIGN pane will open. Select
COLOR SCHEMES (Figure 8). There, you can try different color schemes until you
find the one you like.
Figure 7 Figure 8
Importing Photographs
It is highly recommended to use the largest images you have access to for your
poster. Avoid images downloaded from the web and avoid copying and pasting
images instead of using the Insert command. To insert an image to your poster go to
INSERT>PICTURE>FROM FILE (Figure 9).
(Figure 9)
When the only source of a needed photo or graphic is the Web, scaling has to be
applied with caution. Scaling an image more than three times its original size may
introduce pixelization artifacts. Refer to figure 10 as an example. A simple way to
preview the printing quality of an image is to zoom in at 100% or 200%, depending on
the final size of the poster. What youll see is likely what youll get at printing time.
Figure 10: Original image at 100%, enlarged 200% and 400%.
Importing Tables & Graphs
Importing tables, charts and graphs is easier than importing photos. To import charts
and graphs from Excel, Word or other applications, go to EDIT>COPY, copy your
chart and come back to PowerPoint. Go to EDIT>PASTE and paste the chart on the
poster. You can scale your charts and tables proportionally by holding down the Shift
key and dragging in or out one of the corners.

To start using this template you first need to delete most of the contents of this page.
Keep the poster title and one of the blue section headers.
The cleared template should now look like in Figure 1.
After you decide how many sections you need for your poster (Introduction, Methods,
Results, References, etc.), use the copy and paste commands to create as many
copies of the blue section headers as needed.
Move the header copies approximately to where you think they need to be on the
poster, so you can get a better sense of the overall poster layout. It will help you
organize your content. See Figure 2.
You can now start adding your text.
To add text use the text tool to draw a text box starting from the left edge of a column
to the right edge and start typing in your text. You can also paste the text you may
have already copied from another source. See Figure 3.
Repeat the process throughout the poster as needed.

A miniaturized design of printed dual-band directive dipole antenna
is proposed. Loading with complementary split ring resonators introduces
an additional lower-order resonance in the reference directive dipole. This
enables the proposed antenna to operate around 1.70 GHz and 2.42 GHz,
covering the GSM/Bluetooth/WLAN application bands. Furthermore,
defected partial ground structure is employed to improve impedance
matching in the lower order CSRR-induced band. Ansys HFSS simulations
that the proposed dual-band antenna has satisfactory far-field gains of 1.83
dBi and 3.76 dBi in the two respective operating bands.

CONCLUSIONS
A dual band printed dipole antenna with directive radiation pattern is
designed by loading with metamaterial-inspired CSRR-embedded patches.
Good impedance matching at the lower order frequency band is achieved by
use of a defected partial ground plane. The return loss characteristics and
far-field patterns of the proposed antenna are analyzed via full-wave HFSS
simulations. The proposed antenna is a good candidate for wireless
communication devices working in GSM/Bluetooth/WLAN range.
