Anultra-wideband (UWB) bowl-shaped monopole antenna with a sturdy, simple, and lightweight structure is proposed, then used to compose the 3 × multiple input output (MIMO) antenna. The wide bandwidth determined by outline of monopole, which has quarter wavelength high-order modes. inner part removed for light weight. simulated measured results show that an ultra-wide band 2.3–8.1 GHz (5.8 GHz, ...

This paper presents the design equations for lower band-edge frequency for all the regular shapes of printed monopole antennas with various feed positions. The length of the feed transmission line is a critical design parameter of these monopole antennas. Design curves for the length of the feed transmission line for various lower band-edge frequencies for all these regular shaped monopoles hav...

Abstract— Miniaturized structure and multiple band performance of a patch antenna are primary requirements for modern wireless communication systems. In this paper, a novel design of monopole dual band microstrip patch antenna with circular ring has been proposed for S and C band applications. For dual bands (4.0 GHz and 4.68 GHz), proposed patch antenna shows quite satisfactory radiation perfo...

A new planar monopole antenna which covers 3G, Bluetooth, WiMAX, and the UWB bands and also exhibits dual band-notched characteristic is presented. Presented antenna consist a square radiating patch with a pair of L-shaped slits, and two U-shaped slot and a ground pale with a V-shaped strip. The proposed antenna has been successfully simulated and measured. Experimental results shows that the p...

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...

Abstract—In this paper, ultra-wideband and miniaturization, technique for the microstrip monopole patch antenna (MMPA) in wireless applications is presented. Ultra-wideband was achieved by using printed modified ground plane on a dielectric substrate with 50Ω microstrip feed line. This technique allows the bandwidth of the MMPA to be ultra-wideband with satisfactory radiation properties and red...

We study the radiation properties of electrically small resonant antennas (ka < 1) composed of electric-field-coupled (ELC) and complementary electric-field-coupled (CELC) resonators and a monopole antenna. We use such parasitic ELC and CELC “metaresonators” to design various electrically small antennas. In particular, monopole-excited and bent-monopole-excited CELC resonator antennas are propo...

Fractal objects have some unique geometrical properties. One of them is the possibility to enclose in a finite area an infinitely long curve. The resulting curve is highly convoluted being nowhere differentiable. One such curve is the Koch curve. In this paper, the behavior the Koch monopole is numerically and experimentally analyzed. The results show that as the number of iterations on the sma...

Channel capacities and data rates of mobile communications have been increasing to meet demands of modern communications. In order to achieve a low bit error rate (BER), we need high signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). To realize the high SINR, it is effective to use an adaptive array antenna [1]. The adaptive array antenna can reduce the influence of multipath rays. On the other ha...

Received Jan 24, 2017 Revised Mar 30, 2017 Accepted Apr 20, 2017 This paper discusses the development of an indoor monitoring system based on passive radio frequency identification (RFID) system and Raspberry Pi 3. There are two algorithms designed for this project where the first is to link the RFID module to the Raspberry Pi 3, and the other one is to send the data obtained to a database over...
