Recently, several researchers have devoted large efforts to develop antennas that satisfy the demands of the wireless communication industry for improving performances, especially in term of multiband operations and miniaturization. As a matter of fact, the design and development of a single antenna working in two or more frequency bands, such as in wireless local area network (WLAN) or WiFi an...

A Planar Inverted-F Antenna for LTE2300 (2.3-2.4 GHz), WLAN (2.4-2.484 GHz), and LTE2500 (2.5-2.69 GHz) bands has been presented in this paper. The proposed structure has a dimension of 18 x 13 mm over the ground plane of size 100 x 50 mm which can easily be implanted in the small space available within the mobile device. The proposed structure is having an impedance bandwidth ranging from 2.16...

This paper presents a novel CPW fed patch antenna supporting a wide band from 2.7 GHz – 6.5 GHz. The antenna is compact with size 32 x 30 x 1.6mm, built over FR4-epoxy substrate (εr=4.4). Bandwidth enhancement has been achieved by using the concept of modified ground structure (MGS). For this purpose structural design has been optimized by parametric simulations in CST MWS. The proposed antenna...

A multi-channel receiver operating between 56 GHz and 70 GHz for coverage of different 60 GHz bands worldwide is implemented with a 90 nm Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process. The receiver containing an LNA, a frequency down-conversion mixer and a variable gain amplifier incorporating a bandpass filter is designed and implemented. This integrated receiver is tested at four cha...

In this paper, we present a fractal shape slot based patch antenna for multiband operations. The fractal shape slot is designed on the rectangular patch and the antenna is fed through a microstrip line. The proposed design and feeding technique allows the antenna to operate at multiple frequencies in the range of 120 GHz. It is demonstrated through simulation that the Return Loss (RL) values oc...

This article proposes a quad band patch antenna for mobile communication. The design requirements are to meet the 0.9 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz and 2.45 GHz bands. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular patch monopole printed antenna in which slotting technique is used to achieve multi band resonance. The Patch with three slotted lines generates four resonating frequencies to cover 0.9 GHz ...

In this paper, a multiband planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) with high gain and appreciable bandwidth at the resonant frequencies is designed using metamaterial concept. The proposed PIFA without metamaterial is designed to resonate at 7.46 GHz with return loss of -23.71 dB and gain value 5.41 dBi. The designed antenna is having maximum possible bandwidth of 361.8 MHz. The proposed PIFA with spl...
