This paper presents a CPW-fed compact inverted L shaped microstrip antenna for wireless applications. The proposed antenna provides an omni directional radiation pattern and it utilizes the concept of coplanar wave guide (CPW). The main motive is to simplify the structure and to reduce the overall size of the antenna. This is done by loading the inverted L-strip over the conventional monopole p...

Various Coplanar Waveguide fed microstrip antennas with different ground planes and different radiating patches for broader bandwidth are proposed. The effect of changing periphery of the radiating patch from square to pentagon, pentagon to hexagon, hexagon to octagon and octagon to circle on resonance curve is studied. Similar study has been done by changing the shape of ground plane. The conf...

A printed circular open-loop antenna is introduced as a simple structure for producing circular polarization, the antenna is fed with a coaxial probe. By introducing a gap within the circular loop a traveling-wave current is excited and thus circularly polarized radiation can be achieved. An optimized circularly polarized antenna is designed through numerical analysis using a so-called parametr...

An Ultra Wideband (UWB) antenna is proposed in this paper which covers the whole FCC UWB band from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz while filtering out the WLAN frequencies around 5.8 GHz. The antenna is a planar wineglass shaped slot antenna fed with a coplanar waveguide. The filtering property has been achieved by etching a semicircular parasitic slit on the excitation element of the antenna. The location of ...

Principle, control theory, and application of the ESPAR (Electrically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna are introduced. A typical ESPAR antenna consists of monopole or dipole elements, one of which is the radiator (fed element) and the others are the parasitic radiators with variable reactance devices loaded on them. It can provide a lower-cost solution as an adaptive array antenna or...
