A simple microstrip line fed antenna with thin substrate is proposed in this letter for multi-band wireless applications. The multi-band characteristic was achieved by overlapping an annular slot antenna with two concentric fan shaped patches. The antenna demonstrates three wide impedance bandwidths (VSWR ≤ 2) of 36.3, 63.4 and 25.5% with stable polarization and radiation characteristics.

In the paper, a small antenna for 2.4 GHz body-centric wireless communications is proposed. With the folded ground and U-shaped slot, the antenna has an improved efficiency of 56.5% when it is very close to human body. In addition, the antenna has attractive radiation patterns for body-centric wireless communications.

This paper presents coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed slot antenna. A rectangular slot antenna is excited by a 50 ohm CPW with L-shaped tuning stub. It can achieves wide band from 2.0 GHz to 6 GHz which is the frequency band covered the standard IEEE 802.11a/b/g for use in WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and covered the WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, 2-6 GHz). The charact...

Recently, research interest has increased in the design, development, and deployment of microstrip antenna agent systems for high-level inference and surveillance in a wireless sensor network (WSN). The proposed Antenna agent systems employ migrating codes to facilitate flexible application retasking, local processing, and calculating parameters. This provides extra flexibility, as well as new ...

In the present paper a dual frequency resonance antenna is achieved by introducing Lshaped slot in circular disk patch. It is analysed by using circuit theory concept. The resonance frequency is found to be 5.087 and 8.455 GHz and the 10 dB bandwidth of the proposed antenna for lower and upper resonance frequency is found to be 4.39 and 4.66 % respectively. It is easy to adjust the higher and l...

A compact wireless router multiple-input-multiple output (MIMO) antenna for Long Term Evolution (LTE) 2300 band (2300 – 2400 MHz) and 2500 band (2500-2690 MHz) applications is proposed. The antenna structure consists of two loop parasitic shorted strips and a slot cut between them. The isolating slot not only reduces the coupling between the two monopole antennas, but also improves the bandwidt...
