A novel wide coplanar waveguide- (CPW-) fed multiband wearable monopole antenna is presented. The multiband operation is achieved by generating slanted monopoles of different lengths from an isosceles triangular patch. The different operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are associated with the lengths of the slanted monopoles, which are determined under quarter wavelength resonance condition. The CPW line is used as a multiband impedance-matching structure. The two grounds are slightly extended for better impedance matching. The proposed antenna is designed to cover the 1800 MHz GSM, 2.4 GHz/5.2 GHz WLAN, and 3.5 GHz WiMAX bands. The measured peak gains and impedance bandwidths are about 4.18/3.83/2.6/2.94 dBi and 410/260/170/520 MHz for the 1550-1960 MHz/2.3-2.56 GHz/3.4-3.57 GHz/5.0-5.52 GHz bands, respectively. The calculated averaged specific absorption rate (SAR) values at all the resonant frequencies are well below the standard limit of 2 W/kg, which ensures its feasibility for wearable applications. The antenna performance under different bending configurations is investigated and the results are presented. The reflection coefficient characteristics of the proposed antenna is also measured for different on-arm conditions and the results are compared. A good agreement between experimental and simulation results validates the proposed design approach.

A metamaterial extended microstrip rectangular patch antenna with CSRR loading and defected ground structures(DGS) is proposed for wideband applications with band notching at the frequencies of KU band. The proposed antenna is designed by embedding it on Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate with good impedance matching of 50 Ω at the feedline.The high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) is used to design and simulate the antennas parameters in the operating band. Measurement results confirm the antenna characteristics as predicted in the simulation with a slight shift in frequencies.

This paper introduces a wideband rectenna that can scavenge ambient wireless power to a range of frequency band from 0.91 GHz to 2.55 GHz efficiently. The proposed rectenna is based on a wideband 2 × 2 fractal monopole antenna array with omnidirectional radiation patterns and high gains of 5 to 8.3 dBi at the desired bands. An improved two-branch impedance matching technique is presented which is designed to enhance the rectifier circuit performance with a relatively low input power ranging from −25 dBm to 10 dBm. Also, a full-wave wideband rectifier that can suitably improve the RF-to-DC power conversion efficiency is designed for the rectenna. A peak efficiency of 76%, 71%, 61%, and 62% is obtained at 950, 1850, 2100, and 2450 MHz, respectively. Measurement results show that a conversion efficiency of 68% has been achieved over an optimal 4.7 kΩ resistor when the simultaneous four-band input power level is −10 dBm. Moreover, an output DC voltage of around 243 mV with voltage varying within 160–250 mV can be achieved by gathering the low ambient wireless power inside laboratory. This study proves that the proposed rectenna can be applied to a range of many low-power electronic applications.

This work presents a circularly polarized, CPW-Fed multi band operating monopole antenna. The monopole antenna consists of three parasitic elements, along with a stub at ground for impedance matching. The parasitic elements so far accumulated have shown their excellence in increasing the impedance bandwidth over the 6-18GHz band. The antenna was carved on FR-4 epoxy substrate which result a copper clad laminated structure. The CPW-Fed monopole antenna exhibits excellent circular polarization levels in the frequency region 6-18GHz. The simulation resulted a Return loss of less than -10dB, with good axial ratio less than -3dB over entire band of interest. The simulation was carried out through HFSS microwave studio. The antenna measured values are in good correspondence to the simulated values.
