In this paper, we have investigated printed rectangular monopole antennas, which is basically a printed microstrip antenna with etched ground plane for multi-band applications. In particular, we have fabricated and tested printed rectangular monopole antennas for dual-band and penta-band applications. It has been observed that printed rectangular monopole antennas are small in size and simple i...

Manuscript Received 4-June-2012 and revised 18-September-2012 ISSN: 2322-3936 Accepted on 1December-2012 Abstract—This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN rang...

In this paper a design process of a broadband printed monopole antenna using stepped cut at four corners (CSFC) technique is proposed. The CSFC is a technique that four corners a patch (rectangular/square) of planar monopole antennas are cut in order to enhance the impedance bandwidth. The technique can be used to design any different types of planar monopole antenna in specific frequency range...

Abstract— The paper presents the design and performance measures of a printed stepped patch monopole antenna with semi-elliptical ground plane and band notch for ultra wideband applications. The proposed antenna operates in the frequency range 3.15 ~ 12.2 GHz with average gain of 4.27 dBi. Inverted U shaped slot is introduced in the feed line for WLAN band rejection and the rejection band range...

A compact monopole antenna having wide bandwidth with multi-bands as well as dual polarization characteristics for wireless communication is presented. To get impedance matching for the SMA conductor, the antenna is fed up by Micro-strip feeding technique. In this, the antenna is embedded by an L-shaped slots on the ground plane, to improve the bandwidth by excited the addition of resonance. To...

Recently, antenna and its feed system in wireless communications require to be multifunctional for enhancing flexibility and feasibility, such as easy of integrate, low-profile, inexpensive and ease of fabrication, and wideband or multiband operating.The objective of the project is to design and develop a simple monopole antenna based on composite metamaterial resonators for multiband operation...

To suppress electromagnetic interference at 5.5-GHz WLAN (5.15–5.825 GHz) band operation, a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) design of a slotted twin-patch monopole antenna with a band-rejection characteristic is presented. The proposed antenna with a simple structure has a large impedance bandwidth, defined by 10-dB return loss, covering the range from 2.95 to 10.85GHz, and a tunable cutoff band fro...
