A novel compact ring monopole antenna with double meander lines is proposed for wireless local area networks (WLAN) applications in IEEE 802.11b/g/a systems. The designed antenna, fed by a 50 Ω microstrip transmission line, is only 32 mm in height and 16 mm in width. By introducing a horizontal and a vertical branched strips to a closed rectangular strip ring, the proposed antenna can generate ...

A single-chip dual-band power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) operating at 3.5V single supply has been developed for both WLAN 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz with IEEE 802.11b/g/a standards applications. The MMIC utilizes the process of WINs Corp. with an InGaP/GaAs HBT process. The dual-band power amplifier constructed based on the design of adaptive RF bias choke circuits and prop...

The design, fabrication, and characterization of the microstrip circular antenna arrays were presented. The proposed antennas were designed for single band at 2.45 GHz and dual bands at 3.3 3.6 and 5.0 6.0 GHz to support WLAN/WiMAX applications. The proposed single and dual band antennas showed omnidirectional radiation pattern with the gain values of 3.5 dBi at 2.45 GHz, 4.0 dBi at 3.45 GHz, a...

The time domain modeling of a coplanar wave guide (CPW) fed band-notched antenna for Ultra Wide band (UWB) applications is presented. The annular ring antenna has a dimension of 36x36 mm when printed on a substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness 1.6 mm. The uniplanar nature and compact structure of the antenna make it apt for modular design. The crescent shaped slot provides a notch i...
