A tunable dual-band inverted F antenna (IFA) is presented in this paper. By placing a LC resonator on the radiating arm, dual-band characteristic is achieved. Especially, the capacitor in the resonator is a tunable thin-film BST capacitor, which has a 3.3:1 tuning ratio. The capacitance of the BST capacitors can be tuned by an external DC bias voltage. By varying the capacitance, both the lower...

In this manuscript, a novel design of ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with dual frequency band-stop performance is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of an ordinary square radiating patch with a pair of rotated T-shaped slits, and a modified ground plane with an inverted Ω-shaped and a pair of rectangular-ring slots. In the presented structure, by cutting a pair of rectangularring sl...

A square slot antenna fed by two orthogonal feedlines is designed for dual polarized applications. The presented antenna has not only a dual operating band, but also a very wide bandwidth. The bandwidth is 91% in the first band and 40% in the second one. It can simultaneously serve most of the modern wireless communication applications that operate at 1.8, 1.9, 2.4, 5.2 and 5.8 GHz and require ...

A new planar monopole antenna which covers 3G, Bluetooth, WiMAX, and the UWB bands and also exhibits dual band-notched characteristic is presented. Presented antenna consist a square radiating patch with a pair of L-shaped slits, and two U-shaped slot and a ground pale with a V-shaped strip. The proposed antenna has been successfully simulated and measured. Experimental results shows that the p...

A new dual band and dual polarized slot antenna is designed at x band, using longitudinal and transverse slots on the broad wall of the substrate integrated waveguide. The two resonances are completely apart in a low cross polarization level at both sets. antenna has a minimum radiation efficiency of 80% in both bands.

A Dual band reconfigurable microstrip antenna with frequency diversity for satellite communication is proposed. In this paper a reconfigurable antenna with stacked structure is used. The two patches are arranged by two substrates i.e.. one R04003 dielectric substrate and another Rohacell Foam substrate with the dielectric constant 1.04 and loss tangent 0.0027. By varying the height of foam subs...

A new broadband and dual band circular slot cut modified circular microstrip antenna is analyzed and proposed. The parametric study to analyze the effects of circular slot which realizes broader bandwidth is presented. The circular slot creates two additional resonant modes near the fundamental TM11 mode resonance frequency of the equivalent circular patch and yields bandwidth of 202 MHz (8%). ...

Novel dual-band WLAN antenna system with integrated band-select filter is designed. This integrated antenna design system provide VSWR 2:1 for both 2.4–2.5 GHz and 4.9–5.85 GHz with omni-directional radio patterns. Based on these features, a novel architecture for a dual-band WLAN radio Front-End in portable devices can be achieved. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 49: ...

This letter presents a new directional dual-band slotted trapezoidal inverted-F antenna (IFA) for indoor Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications. The dual-band performance can be obtained by tuning the lengths of the inner symmetrical trapezoidal slots and the outer trapezoidal arms in a nearly independent manner. The measured results show that the proposed antenna can provide two separ...
