In this paper, a different method for designing a novel and compact microstrip-fed slot antenna with band-notched characteristic for UWB application is proposed. In the proposed antenna, a pair of cross-shaped strips protruded inside an extra rectangular slot in the ground plane are used to crate an additional resonance in higher frequencies. By obtaining this resonance, the usable upper freque...

This paper proposes a small sized, low-cost multiband monopole antenna which can cover the WiMAX bands and C-band. The proposed antenna of 20 × 20 mm(2) radiating patch is printed on cost effective 1.6 mm thick fiberglass polymer resin dielectric material substrate and fed by 4 mm long microstrip line. The finite element method based, full wave electromagnetic simulator HFSS is efficiently util...

Microstrip antennas (MAS) are very useful antenna where low profile antennas are required. They are most popular due to their small size, low cost, light weight. The first aperture coupled microstrip antenna was introduced in 1985 by D M Pozar. Aperture coupled antenna is a particular antenna with high gain and wide bandwidth. This paper presents aperture coupled stacked patch antenna using air...

In this paper, a multi resonant MPA capable of operating satisfactorily in the frequency range of 2.39 GHz to 5.79 GHz have been proposed. The antenna has been designed using substrate of FR4 material having dielectric constant of 4.4 with a conducting radiating patch on the substrate and a conducting ground plane on the bottom side of substrate. The ground plane has been partially reduced to i...

In this paper, a stage wise realization of compact Bluetooth — UWB dual-band diversity antenna with WiMAX and WLAN band-notch characteristics is presented. The proposed structure consists of two co-planar semicircular dual band-notch monopole antennas, mounted with planar spiral. Individual antenna configuration provides an impedance bandwidth (VSWR < 2) for dualband i.e., both Bluetooth and UW...

A compact Ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with bandnotched characteristic is presented in this paper. It has compact size of 30 mm x 31mm and has ultra wide band operation. A ‘C’ shaped slot was introduced to achieve band notch function from 4.8 GHz to 6 GHz to avoid interference from WLAN. The proposed antenna has ultra wide band frequency range from 3 GHz to 11.5 GHz for return loss below -10 dB...

The area of micro strip antennas has seen some inventive work in recent years and is currently one of the most dynamic fields of antenna theory. This designing is very easy and chip in micro strip antenna designing. In this paper SHF band frequencies x-band frequency 10 GHz and Kuband frequency 13GHz are gives the best result, the antenna has become a necessity for many applications in recent w...

Circularly polarized slot cut rectangular microstrip antenna on thinner substrate is proposed. The dimensions of the slots are modified such that the resonance frequencies of the two orthogonal modes are close to each other to realize circular polarization. To improve upon the gain, three layer suspended configuration is proposed which yields VSWR and axial ratio BW of 40 and 9 MHz, respectivel...

A method to design a miniaturized two-element quasi-Yagi antenna (QYA) with size and gain requirements is presented for portable ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) reader applications. The antenna consists of a driver dipole and a ground reflector, and these elements are serially connected with a coplanar strip line. The ends of both elements are folded back toward...
