In this paper, a planar quad band monopole antenna excited by the microstrip line feed is proposed for L-band, WiMAX and WLAN applications. The proposed antenna is composed of radiating element in the form of L, U and inverted Lshaped strips on the top surface of substrate and defected ground plane on the bottom surface. By adjusting the length of the strips, the resonant frequencies can be reformed individually. The overall dimension of the prototype of the proposed quad band antenna is 50x35x1.6mm?. From the measured results it is found that the proposed antenna has exhibited four distinct operating bands (return loss less than -10dB) of 170MHz (from 1.16 to 1.33GHz), 550MHz (from 1.53 to 2.08GHz), 470MHz (from 2.43 to 2.90GHz) and 3930MHz (from 3.77 to 7.70GHz). First two bands operated in L-band, third band can be used for WiMAX lower band (2.5GHz) and bandwidth of fourth band may be used for WLAN (5.2/5.8 GHz) and WiMAX (5.5GHz) applications. It is also observed that the proposed antenna has good radiation patterns and acceptable gains over the whole operating bands. The design process and parametric analyses are explained with the help of simulation software HFSS v.11.

Microstrip Monopole Antenna

This paper proposes a novel small asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS) fed tri-band monopole antenna for WLAN and WiMAX applications. To tune and create multiple resonant frequencies, the exciting strip of monopole antenna is connected to two different arms which are a J-shaped directed toward the asymmetric ground plane and an open stub. The proposed monopole antenna with a total size of 14.6 x17.5 mm2 is fabricated and tested. The measured results indicate that the antenna has impedance bandwidths for 10-dB return loss reach about 500 MHz (2.01-2.52 GHz), 230 MHz (3.48-3.71 GHz) and 1.2GHz (5.59-6.72 GHz) which cover widely the 2.4/5.8 GHz WLAN bands and the 3.5GHz WiMAX band. The simulated radiation patterns of the proposed antenna at the three resonant frequencies have a dipole-like radiation pattern in both E-and H-Planes. The compact size, the simple structure and good radiation performances of the proposed antenna makes it well-suited forthe intended applications.

A printed dual broadband monopole antenna has been presented here for WLAN and WIMAX applications. The antenna is designed with the help of simulation software HFSS and proposed antenna is fabricated to verify the simulated results with the measured results. The patch of the proposed antenna consists of two identical metallic structures which are like English letter “E” and are placed face to face to each other. Now, the lower arms of E-shaped structures are connected together with a rectangular microstrip transmission line of length 15 mm and width 3.06 mm to form the proposed patch. The proposed “E” shape patch is printed on FR4 substrate of height 1.6 mm, relative permittivity εr= 4.4, and loss tangent 0.02. The ground plane of the proposed antenna consists of partial rectangular metal at opposite side of the patch. The proposed antenna achieves dual band characteristics using the proposed structure. The measured results show that the proposed structure covers the transmission bands from 2.45 GHz to 3.66 GHz with center frequency of 3.0 GHz and from 4.16 GHz to 5.94 GHz with center frequency of 5.37 GHz. There is a good impedance matching between measurement result and computer simulated results. The measured percentage bandwidths have been obtained by 39.1 % and 35.24 %, respectively. The peak gain (measured) at 3 GHz and 5.37 GHz resonant frequencies are 3 dBi and 4 dBi, respectively. This proposed antenna also exhibits with monopole like E-Plane and H-plane co-polarization radiation pattern at two center frequencies. The obtained bands are useful for WLAN and WiMAX applications.

Miniaturized Antenna

In this paper, a novel circular slotted rectangular patch antenna with three triangle shape Defected Ground Structure (DGS) has been proposed. Radiating patch is made by cutting circular slots of radius 3 mm from the three sides and center of the conventional rectangular patch structure and three triangle shape defects are presented on the ground layer. The size of the proposed antenna is 38 X 25 mm2. Optimization is performed and simulation results have been obtained using Empire XCcel 5.51 software. Thus, a miniaturized antenna is designed which has three impedance bandwidths of 0.957 GHz,  0.779 GHz, 0.665 GHz with resonant frequencies at 3.33 GHz, 6.97 GHz and 8.59 GHz and the corresponding return loss at the three resonant frequencies are -40 dB, -43 dB and -38.71 dB respectively. A prototype is also fabricated and tested. Fine agreement between the measured and simulated results has been obtained. It has been observed that introducing three triangle shape defects on the ground plane results in increased bandwidth, less return loss, good radiation pattern and better impedance matching over the required operating bands which can be used for wireless applications and future 5G applications.

AbstractA compact ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with reconfigurable band-notch characteristics is demonstrated in this paper. It is comprised of a modified rectangular patch and a defected ground plane. The band-notch property in the WiMAX and WLAN bands is achieved by etching an open-ended slot on the radiating patch and an inverted U-shaped slot on the ground plane, respectively. To obtain the reconfigurable band-notch performance, two PIN diodes are inserted in the slots, and then the notch-band can be switched by changing the states of the PIN diodes. The antenna has a compact size of 0.47 λ1 × 0.27 λ1. The simulated and measured results indicate that the antenna can operate at a UWB mode, two single band-notch modes, and a dual band-notch mode. Moreover, stable radiation patterns are obtained.
