In this letter, a simple monopole antenna with variable band-notched characteristic for ultra wide band (UWB) function is proposed. Two L-shaped quarter-waveguide resonators coupled to the ground plane with two shorting tracks at the sides of the antenna are used to generate stop-band performance around 5.5 GHz (WLAN). The proposed antenna is fabricated on the substrate FR4 (relative permittivi...

A single layer monopole hexagonal patch antenna is thoroughly simulated in this paper. Resonant frequency has been reduced drastically by cutting two equal slots which are the combinations of two triangular and one rectangular slot at the upper right and lower left corner and middle point symmetrical Y-junction slot located from the conventional microstrip patch antenna. Compared to a conventio...

A two-port antenna with high isolation for digital television system (DTV), global system for mobile communication (GSM), and universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) indoor applications is presented. The antenna consists of a disk loaded sleeve monopole antenna and an inverted-L plate antenna, which are combined into one radiation structure. In addition, by using a choke tube and C-sh...

The differential global positioning system (DGPS) transmits a GPS enhancement signal using a top-loaded monopole antenna in the medium frequency range. The top-loaded antenna in the medium frequency band can attain a radiation efficiency on the order of 10%. The antenna ground plane characteristics affect the antenna radiation efficiency. To improve the radiation efficiency, it is necessary to ...

In this paper, a novel dual band frequency reconfigurable antenna using an origami magic cube is proposed for wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. The proposed origami antenna consists of a meandered monopole folded onto three sides of the magic cube. A microstrip open-ended stub is loaded on the meandered monopole. The proposed origami magic cube can be mechanically folded and unfolded....

In recent days, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) technology has widely used for wireless mobile devices such as handsets, notebook PCs and so on. In addition, Multi-antenna systems for handsets such as diversity and Multiple-input Multiple-out (MIMO) applications has developed, which are seen as the potential technologies for enhancing the performance and capacity wit...

Broadband planar monopole antennas have attracted their candidature for wideband applications like WLAN, WiMAX, RADAR, Satellite etc. Eventhough planar monopole antennas have several advantages in terms of cost, compactness, conformality, simplicity they suffer from a major disadvantage of having very narrow bandwidth. Various planar configurations such as circular, triangular, rectangular, hex...

We studied the far field radiation properties of a new resonator antenna composed of split ring resonators (SRRs) and a monopole. It is shown that the antenna size at the operation frequency (3.52 GHz) is approximately one tenth of the free space wavelength (λ/10). Moreover, increasing the number of SRRs yields steerability properties. These achievements provide a way to create rather small ste...

Abstract—In this paper, a planar monopole antenna for UltraWideband (UWB) communications with a notched behavior in the two sub-bands UNII1 and UNII2 of the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) band is presented. The antenna geometry is described by means of a spline curve and a rectangular slot. Numerical and experimental results are reported to assess the effectiveness of the proposed design in...
