AbstractA novel design of ultra-wideband CPW-fed compact monopole patch antenna is presented in the article. The size of the antenna is 22 × 18 × 1.6 mm and it operates well over an ultra-wideband frequency range 4.86–13.66 GHz (simulated) and 4.93–13.54 GHz (measured) covering C, X and partial Ku band applications. The proposed design consists of a defected ground plane and U-shape radiating patch along with two square shape parasitic patches in order to achieve the ultra-wideband (UWB) operations. The performance matrix is validated through measured results that indicate the wide impedance bandwidth (93.2 %) with maximum gain of 4 dBi with nearly 95 % of maximum radiation efficiency; moreover, the 3D gain pattern manifests approximately omni-directional pattern of the proposed design. The prototype has been modelled using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator-18) by ANSYS, fabricated and tested using vector network analyser E5071C.

This antenna has a low reflection coefficient and high gain in the range of 8.94 GHz, starting from 2.85 to 11.79 GHz. The proposed antenna demonstrates UWB behavior with electrically small dimensions of 0.18 λ0×0.14 λ0×0.015 λ0 (λ0 is the free-space wavelength at 2.85 GHz). The fractional bandwidth of the antenna is 122.1%, with stable radiations. The antenna's maximum gain stands at 2.79 dBi, and the antenna's peak efficiency stands at 72%, respectively. It is lightweight, compact, and easy to manufacture. Hence, it can be used for the complete range of UWB applications and covers Wi-Max/WLAN/ X-Band and Ku-Band.

In this article, a novel design of ultra wideband monopole antenna with dual notched bands performance is proposed. The size of the UWB antenna is minimized to 20 -17.6mm2 , printed on FR4 substrate 1.5 mm thickness and loss tangent tan𝛿 =0.02, and is fed by coplanar waveguide. The operation bandwidth of the designed antenna is from 3.1 GHz to more than 10 GHz. Band notches characteristics of antenna to reject the frequency band, WIMAX Band and WLAN Band, is realized by cutting three quarter wavelength slots in the radiating patch. A quarter wavelength slot in the radiator of the antenna is used to create a frequency band notch at the WIMAX frequency band. However, the WLAN frequency band is notched using two symmetrical quarter wavelength slots. The proposed antenna is simulated using HFSS and CST high frequency simulators. These results are compared with measured results by using network analyzer.

An ultra-wideband, compact planar antenna with defected ground structure (DGS) has been presented in this article for future 5G millimeter-wave applications. The proposed antenna overcomes the limitation of bandwidth of the conventional microstrip patch antenna (typically < 5%). The antenna exhibits an ultra-wideband characteristic covering frequency band from 21.3 GHz to 40.6 GHz which makes the fractional bandwidth of 62.36%. The antenna performance is enhanced by etching slots on the patch and incorporating defect on the ground plane. The antenna achieves gain greater than 4.01 dBi and radiation efficiency greater than 95% throughout the operating band. In the given band it also exhibits very low cross-polarization level as well as stable radiation performance. This antenna is designed to operate in n257, n258, n260 and n261 5G millimeter-wave spectrum.

A novel design of a compact ultra wideband antenna with triple band-notched characteristics is proposed. Much wider impedance bandwidth (from 2.63 to 13.02 GHz) is obtained by using a star like-shaped radiator and a defected rectangular ground plane and band-notched functions are obtained by attaching L- and I-shaped structure on the ground and a capacitive-loaded loop (CLL) resonator on the patch. The triple band-notch rejection at WiMAX, WLAN, and ITU bands are obtained by attaching I-shape strip, CLL resonator, and flip L-shape, respectively. The parametric study is carried out to study the influence of varying dimensions on the antenna performance. To validate simulation results of the design a prototype is fabricated on the commercially available FR4 material. The measured results reveal that the presented triple band-notch antenna offers a very wide bandwidth of 10.41 GHz (2.63–13.04 GHz) with triple band-notched characteristics at WiMAX (2.94–3.7 GHz), WLAN (5.1–5.9 GHz), and ITU (7.4–8.7 GHz).

In this paper, a new antenna has been proposed with dimensions of 28 × 28 × 0.8 mm3 and the ability of operating in ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency and switching three notched bands. In the structure, to achieve the removal of characteristic of three frequency bands, a rectangular patch with an H-shaped slot on its surface and two C-shaped arms on its sides have been used. In addition, the designed antennas have the ability of operating in five different modes. To achieve the performance of reconfiguring, three pin diodes are used on the slots of rectangular patch and those two C-shaped arms. Also, with the defect ground structure and creating two rectangular slots and two L-shaped slots on the ground plane we make the excite of additional resonances and thus increase antenna bandwidth. Simulation and measurement results show that the designed antenna is able to cover the range of frequencies 3–12 GHz and a controllable frequency band rejection in the three frequency bands 3.2–3.75 GHz (WiMAX), 5.05–5.9 GHz (WLAN), and 8–8.45 GHz (ITU). The proposed antenna decreases the interference of the mentioned wireless systems with the UWB frequency.

Abstract This study presents a novel configuration of a cuboidal quad-port ultra-wideband multiple-input and multiple-output antenna with WLAN rejection characteristics. The designed antenna consists of four F-shaped elements backed by a partial ground plane. A 50 Ω microstrip line is used to feed the proposed structure. The geometry of the suggested antenna exhibits an overall size of 23 × 23 × 19 mm3, and the antenna produces an operational bandwidth of 7.6 GHz (3.1–10.7 GHz). The notched band characteristic at 5.4 GHz is accomplished by loading a pair of spiral electromagnetic bandgap structures over the ground plane. Besides this, other diversity features such as envelope correlation coefficient, and diversity gain are also evaluated. Furthermore, the proposed antenna system provides an isolation of −15 dB without using any decoupling structure. Therefore, to validate the reported design, a prototype is fabricated and characterized. The overall simulated performance is observed in very close agreement with it's measured counterpart.

This research article describes a technique for realizing wideband dual notched functionality in an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna array based on metamaterial and electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) techniques. For comparison purposes, a reference antenna array was initially designed comprising hexagonal patches that are interconnected to each other. The array was fabricated on standard FR-4 substrate with thickness of 0.8 mm. The reference antenna exhibited an average gain of 1.5 dBi across 5.25–10.1 GHz. To improve the array’s impedance bandwidth for application in UWB systems metamaterial (MTM) characteristics were applied it. This involved embedding hexagonal slots in patch and shorting the patch to the ground-plane with metallic via. This essentially transformed the antenna to a composite right/left-handed structure that behaved like series left-handed capacitance and shunt left-handed inductance. The proposed MTM antenna array now operated over a much wider frequency range (2–12 GHz) with average gain of 5 dBi. Notched band functionality was incorporated in the proposed array to eliminate unwanted interference signals from other wireless communications systems that coexist inside the UWB spectrum. This was achieved by introducing electromagnetic bandgap in the array by etching circular slots on the ground-plane that are aligned underneath each patch and interconnecting microstrip-line in the array. The proposed techniques had no effect on the dimensions of the antenna array (20 mm × 20 mm × 0.87 mm). The results presented confirm dual-band rejection at the wireless local area network (WLAN) band (5.15–5.825 GHz) and X-band satellite downlink communication band (7.10–7.76 GHz). Compared to other dual notched band designs previously published the footprint of the proposed technique is smaller and its rejection notches completely cover the bandwidth of interfering signals.

Abstract A compact circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna is presented for modern communication systems. The prospective antenna consists of a microstrip-line inset-fed rectangular patch and a defected ground plane. A rotated rectangular slot and a modified electric-inductive-capacitive (m-ELC) resonator are introduced in the patch and the ground plane to achieve multiband behaviour. A corner of the radiating patch is truncated and an arrow-shaped stub is introduced for generating circular polarization. The physical area of the substrate is 0.26λ0 × 0.22λ0, and the radiator size is 0.16λ0 × 0.14λ0, where λ0 is the free-space wavelength estimated at the lowest frequency. The measured (S11≤-10 dB) bandwidths of the antenna are 80 MHz (3.58%) at 2.23 GHz, 75 MHz (2.64%) at 2.84 GHz, 80 MHz (2.50%) at 3.19 GHz, and 70 MHz (1.82%) at 3.83 GHz. The measured 3-dB axial ratio bandwidths are 40 MHz (1.41%), 100 MHz (3.12%), and 60 MHz (1.57%) at 2.84, 3.20 and 3.82 GHz, respectively. The proposed planar antenna design does not need dual-feed or multi-layered patches for achieving multiple CP bands. It offers easy integration with the printed circuits of the communication systems.
