This paper proposes a planar monopole antenna with a parabolic edge shape. This antenna, which has notch characteristics in the wireless local area network (WLAN) band, can be miniaturized. To obtain the notch characteristics in the WLAN band, a slot with a parabolic edge shape identical to that of the monopole structure was implemented. Because the planar monopole antenna with a parabolic edge shape possesses characteristics similar to those in self-complementary structure conditions, it can be miniaturized by reducing the antenna components at the same proportion. For the antenna fabrication, an FR4 dielectric substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.7 was used. The size of the miniaturized antenna that satisfies the ultra-wide band requirement was 15.6 × 18.6 mm2, and the 10-dB band was 3.013–12.515 GHz. At each frequency, the radiation pattern was similar to that of a dipole antenna.

A triple-band rectangular ring, open-ended monopole antenna with symmetricLstrips for wireless local area network (WLAN)/Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access (WiMAX) applications is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of two symmetric folded arms andLstrips. Based on the concept, a prototype of the proposed triple antenna has been designed, fabricated, and tested. The numerical and experimental results demonstrated that the proposed antenna satisfied the −10 dB impedance bandwidth requirement while simultaneously covering the WLAN and WiMAX bands. Furthermore, this paper presented and discussed the 2D radiation patterns and 3D gains according to the results of the experiment. The proposed antenna’s peak gain varied between 2.17 and 4.93 dBi, and its average gain varied between −2.97 and −0.53 dBi.

This paper presents the design, testing, and analysis of a clover structured monopole antenna for super wideband applications. The proposed antenna has a wide impedance bandwidth (−10 dB bandwidth) from 1.9 GHz to frequency over 30 GHz. The clover shaped antenna with a compact size of 50 mm × 45 mm is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm. Parametric study has been performed by varying the parameters of the clover to obtain an optimum wide band characteristics. Furthermore, the prototype introduces a method of achieving super wide bandwidth by deploying fusion of elliptical patch geometries (clover shaped) with a semi elliptical ground plane, loaded with a V-cut at the ground. The proposed antenna has a 14 dB bandwidth from 5.9 to 13.1 GHz, which is suitable for ultra wideband (UWB) outdoor propagation. The prototype is experimentally validated for frequencies within and greater than UWB. Transfer function, impulse response, and group delay has been plotted in order to address the time domain characteristics of the proposed antenna with fidelity factor values. The possible applications cover wireless local area network, C-band, Ku-band, K-band operations, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, and Wireless USB.

We present a simple coplanar waveguide- (CPW-) fed rectangular ring monopole antenna designed for dual-band wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The antenna is based on a simple structure composed of a CPW feed line and a rectangular ring. Dual-band WLAN operation can be achieved by controlling the distance between the rectangular ring and the ground plane of the CPW feed line, as well as the horizontal vertical lengths of the rectangular ring. Simulated and measured data show that the antenna has a compact size of21.4×59.4 mm2, an impedance bandwidths of 2.21–2.70 GHz and 5.04–6.03 GHz, and a reflection coefficient of less than −10 dB. The antenna also exhibits an almost omnidirectional radiation pattern. This simple compact antenna with favorable frequency characteristics therefore is attractive for applications in dual-band WLAN.

A coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed I-shaped monopole antenna with independent frequency control characteristic is presented for simultaneously satisfying the global positioning system (GPS), wireless local area network (WLAN), and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications. It is printed on an FR4 substrate with a single-layered metallic structure and the overall dimensions are [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm3. The proposed antenna consists of an I-shaped monopole, a pair of split-ring resonators (SRRs), and a coplanar ground plane. The unique advantage of this study is that the four frequency bands are generated individually by different radiating elements. That is, each of them can be controlled independently with little interference from others, which brings added convenience to the antenna design, optimization and debugging processes. Simulated and measured results both demonstrate that it can cover the 1.575[Formula: see text]GHz GPS (1.57–1.59[Formula: see text]GHz); 2.4/5.2/5.8[Formula: see text]GHz WLAN (2.4–2.485, 5.15–5.35 and 5.725–5.825[Formula: see text]GHz) and 3.5/5.5[Formula: see text]GHz WiMAX (3.40–3.60 and 5.25–5.85[Formula: see text]GHz) applications with satisfactory radiation patterns and acceptable gains.

A planar circularly polarized (CP) monopole antenna (MA) with dual-band operation for the IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless local area network (WLAN) is proposed. By introducing dual strip-sleeves shorted at the ground plane, the excitation of dual-resonant modes can resemble the 2.4/5.2 GHz bands required for WLAN operations. The obtained impedance bandwidths (RL ≧10 dB) across the operating bands approach 260/988 MHz and the 3 dB axial-ratio bandwidth of about 103/710 MHz for 2.4/5.2 GHz bands, respectively. The model proposed in this study reflects more advantages in physical implementation as its overall volume is only 40 × 40 × 0.8 mm3, 22% smaller than other conventional CP MAs. The measured peak gain and radiation efficiency are about 4.1/3.3 dBic and 94/84%, respectively, and demonstrate nearly bidirectional patterns in the XZ- and YZ-planes.

Abstract This paper proposes a new metamaterial inspired electrically small multi-band monopole antenna. The proposed antenna is capable of operating at DCS 1800 in the lower band. At the same time, in the higher band, it covers two wireless local area network (WLAN) bands at 2.4 and 5.2 GHz. This paper describes the design and detailed analysis of an electrically small (ka = 0.64 < 1) antenna with a -10dB fractional bandwidth of 2.01%, 1.64% and 2.71% for triple-band operations with centre frequencies 1.80, 2.45 and 5.17 GHz. The compactness is achieved by the application of double negative metamaterial on a monopole antenna operating at 9 GHz. The proposed antenna has an overall compact electrical size 0.14 λ0 × 0.14λ0 × 0.01 λ0 at 1.8 GHz and physical dimensions 24 × 24 × 1.6 mm3 including the ground. In this proposed ESA a second DNG structure is also incorporated to enhance its gain. This enables reliable operations at DCS 1800 and WLAN frequencies 2.4 and 5.2 GHz.

This paper presents a novel asymmetric coplanar waveguide-fed quad-band hybrid antenna for wireless applications. The proposed hybrid antenna combines a conventional monopole antenna and a zeroth-order resonator antenna to perform a dual-mode operation. The first mode is generated by a slotted monopole antenna, supporting the two higher resonances at about 3.5 and 5.8 GHz. The second mode is supported by loading a composite right-/left-handed transmission line unit cell near the slotted monopole, contributing to the two lower resonances at about 1.6 and 2.5 GHz. It is printed on an FR4 substrate with the overall dimensions of 40 mm × 24 mm × 1.6 mm. Experimental results demonstrate that it can cover the global positioning system (1.57–1.59 GHz), wireless local area network (2.4–2.485, 5.15–5.35, and 5.725–5.825 GHz), and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (2.5–2.69, 3.3–3.7, and 5.25–5.85 GHz) applications with monopole-like radiation patterns and acceptable gains.
