Abstract This paper discusses indoor WLAN DSSS radio range testing relating antenna type, radiated power, and transmitter/receiver separation to the IEEE 802.11 compliance range at the 2.4 GHz ISM band frequencies. Indoor range performance is shown to depend not only on transmit power and transmission rate, but on the product’s response to multipath and obstructions in the environment along the...

A quadband filter for 1.57 GHz GPS, 5.2 GHz WLAN and 3.5 GHz Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access is designed and tested in this work. A compact Defected Ground Structure (DGS) quad-band microstrip Band Pass Filter, stub loaded Low Pass Filter, short circuited uniform impedance resonator and ring resonator are used to maintain the size and performance. Use of stub resonator at central po...

Simulated design and analysis of a new simple multi-band microstrip antenna is presented in this paper. An introduced design covers the requisite bandwidth for GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTS cellular phone system and IEEE Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standards: 802.11n, b/g (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth. Light weight, low-cost, plain configuration and multi-band functionality are the advantages. All results of th...

A band-removal property employing microwave frequencies using complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) is applied to design a compact UWB antenna wishing for the rejection of some frequency band, which is meanwhile exercised by the existing wireless applications. The reported antenna comprises optimization of a circular radiating patch, in which slotted complementary SRRs are implanted. It i...

A high performance monopole antenna fabricated using a folded wire line and metal patch as radiator is presented. A prototype of the proposed monopole antenna with a compact area size is implemented, and the multi-band WLAN antenna shows a wide operating bandwidth of about 530MHz and 3400MHz for low band and high band, bandwidth, making it easy to cover the IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802....

This article deals with the broad review of Micro strip patch antenna design parameters, various slots for different applications i.e. designs, development of output factors etc. In this modern world a dual band and triple band antenna with notch characteristics plays a vital role in wireless communications like UWB, WLAN...

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...

An Ultra Wideband (UWB) antenna is proposed in this paper which covers the whole FCC UWB band from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz while filtering out the WLAN frequencies around 5.8 GHz. The antenna is a planar wineglass shaped slot antenna fed with a coplanar waveguide. The filtering property has been achieved by etching a semicircular parasitic slit on the excitation element of the antenna. The location of ...

In this letter, a tapered slot ultrawide band (UWB) Vivaldi antenna with enhanced gain having band notch characteristics in the WLAN/WiMAX band is presented. In this framework, a reference tapered slot Vivaldi antenna is first designed for UWB operation that is, 3.1–10.6 GHz using the standard procedure. The band-notch operation at 4.8 GHz is achieved with the help of especially designed comple...
