A novel approach for the design of a compact multiband monopole antenna for improving radiation characteristics at higher resonant frequencies is presented. The proposed structure consists of a conventional printed monopole loaded with spiral ring resonators and fed by microstrip. When at higher resonant frequency, the electrical length of the conventional monopole antennas is relatively large ...

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...

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...

In this paper, we introduce a novel printed monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The antenna is composed of two overlapped circular disc monopoles with a finite ground plane and fed by a 50 microstrip line. The designed antenna operates over impedance bandwidth (2.9 to 11.6GHz) for return loss S Ω 11 < -10dB. The antenna also shows omni-directional radiation patterns and good...

An investigation of magnetic current distribution of CPW fed arrow shaped UWB antenna is reported. This enables the precise prediction of working principle of UWB antenna, since the traditional UWB antenna simulations ignore important details. The computation was performed numerically for an arrow shaped antenna at different resonant frequencies at various input current phase changes and was fo...

Principle, control theory, and application of the ESPAR (Electrically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna are introduced. A typical ESPAR antenna consists of monopole or dipole elements, one of which is the radiator (fed element) and the others are the parasitic radiators with variable reactance devices loaded on them. It can provide a lower-cost solution as an adaptive array antenna or...

In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...

This paper gives information about construction of planar rectangular monopole antenna on Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Behaviour of such planar antenna is same as the rectangular patch antenna with finite ground plane which lies in same plane of given PCB. The designed antenna is a broadband antenna as its ratio bandwidth falls under broadband category. In comparison with monopole antenna broad...
