In this paper, a compact reconfigurable tri-band/quad-band monopole antenna is presented. To achieve the multi-band behavior, two right-angled triangles were etched in a conventional rectangular patch, and a partial ground plane is used. Moreover, the proposed multi-band antenna is printed on a low cost FR4 epoxy with compact dimensions of 0.23[Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is calculated at the lowest resonance frequency. To provide frequency agility, a metal strip which acts as PIN diode was embedded in the frame of the modified patch. The tri-band/quad-band antenna performance in terms of reflection coefficient, radiation patterns, peak gain and efficiency was studied. The measured results are consistent with the simulated results for both cases. The simple structure and the compact size of the proposed antenna could make it a good candidate for multi-band wireless applications.

This research article presents, a compact 0.19 λ x 0.32 λ size ACS fed printed monopole wideband antenna loaded with multiple radiating branches suitable for LTE2300/WiBro, 5 GHz WLAN and WiMAX applications. The proposed triple band uniplanar antenna encompasses of C shaped strip, L shaped strip, rectangular shaped strip and a lateral ground plane. All the radiating strips and ground plane are etched on the 26 × 15 m size low cost FR4 epoxy substrate. This designed geometry evoked three independent reonances at 2.3 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.5 GHz with precise impedance matching over each operating band. The reflection coefficient ( ) response of the presented antenna demonstrates three distinct resonant modes associated with -10 dB bandwidths are about 2.24-2.40 GHz, 3.38-3.83 GHz and 5.0-6.25 GHz respectively. From the study, it is also observed that the proposed design works perfect with microstrip as well as CPW feedings. Hence the designed Multi Feed Multi Band (MFMB) antenna can be easily deployed in to any portable wireless device that works for 2.3/3.5/ 5 GHz frequency bands.

Abstract In this paper, two kinds of dual-band metamaterial absorbers (MMAs) with stable absorption performance based on fractal structures are proposed. As the key feature, with the increase in fractal order, the fractal MMAs can reduce the weight while keeping the absorption performance. The multi-band absorption property is analyzed by multiple L-C resonances generated by the fractal structure. By virtue of good impedance matching characteristics and the synergy of the circuit and electromagnetic resonance, effective and stable microwave absorption is readily achieved. Finally, two prototypes are fabricated for demonstration, and the measurement result is consistent well with the simulation one. As expected, the proposed fractal MMAs have the advantage of low-cost, light-weight, and dual-effective absorption bands, and have great potential in the application of multi-band radar stealth.
