A novel compact multi-band design of planar C-shape monopole antenna with inverted L-shape parasitic strip is proposed for IEEE 802.16 m WiMAX system. The obtained impedance bandwidth across the 2.6/3.5/5.5 GHz operating bands can reach about 240/570/4470 MHz, respectively. Only with the antenna size of 15×30×0.8mm3, the proposed monopole antenna has the compact operation with more than 25% ant...

A new design of non-planar magneto-electric monopole antenna is proposed and presented. This antenna consists of a novel design of electric monopole with dual shaped feed line design and possesses 61.5% impedance bandwidth, from 4.5GHz–8.5GHz. The antenna exhibits stable omnidirectional radiation pattern with almost identical E-plane and H-plane radiation patterns and also provides a peak gain ...

A compact CPW-fed fractal circle monopole antenna with dual wideband is presented for simultaneously satisfying wireless local area network (WLAN) for 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz application. The antenna consists of irregular shape circles based on the Descartes circle theorem. The simulated -10 dB bandwidth for return loss is from 2.04 to 3.35 GHz and 4.96 to 5.9 GHz, covering all the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN...

In this paper, a printed monopole antenna with reduced ground plane has been presented as a candidate for use in ultra-wideband applications. The monopole antenna structure is a nearly square shaped with m-slot embedded in it. A 50Ω microstrip line is used to feed the proposed antenna. The proposed antenna has been supposed to be etched using a substrate with relative permittivity of 4.6 and th...

A problem of the spherical antenna consisting of a thin radial monopole located on a perfectly conducting sphere is solved. The antenna is excited at the base by a voltage δ-generator. An approximate analytical solution of the integral equation for the current on a thin impedance vibrator was found by the method of successive iterations. The solution is physically correct for arbitrary dimensio...

It is known that if a conductor resides in the neighboring of an antenna with a small distance relative to the wavelength, it induces a reverse current on the conductor. This paper involves the unavoidable coupling effects on some common types of LF antennas, due to the large wavelength in this frequency band. In particular, after some discussions about top-loaded antennas, the coupling effect ...

A multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) antenna that comprises a printed microstrip antenna and a printed double-L sleeve monopole antenna for LTE 1800 wireless application is presented. The printed double-L sleeve monopole antenna is fed by a 50 ohm coplanar waveguide (CPW). A novel T-shaped microstrip feedline printed on the other side of the PCB is used to excite the waveguide's outer sh...

Abstract—An ultra-wideband (UWB) planar monopole antenna integrated with a narrow-band (NB) cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a UWB monopole excited by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line, acting as a ground for a DRA excited by a slot. The mode HEM11δ is excited in the NB DRA. To validate the concept of integration, an antenn...

A slotted meander line printed monopole antenna for low frequency applications at 878 MHz is presented. The operating frequency of the conventional printed monopole antenna was greatly reduced by the presence of the slots and meander line which lead to the reduction of the antenna size. The size reduction up to 70% compared to the conventional reference antenna is achieved in this study. The an...

This article describes the concepts underlying monopole antennas and their many applications, such as for broadcasting, car radios, and more recently for cellular telephones. In its simplest form, the monopole antenna above an infinite ground plane shown in Fig. 1(a) can be considered as one-half of a corresponding double-length center-fed linear dipole shown for comparison in Fig. 1(b). The cu...
