Printed UWB Antenna with Coupled Slotted Element for Notch-Frequency Function

A novel printed monopole antenna employing a slotted-plate, which is electromagnetically coupled to the microstrip-fed planar element, is proposed to provide notch-frequency function. This technique enables stopband characteristics with improved control, compared to placing the slot in the microstrip-fed element. A detailed investigation of the rejectband properties has been made for the UWB antenna. Measured data for the optimized case show the 10 dB return loss bandwidth to be 9.8 GHz (from 2.80 GHz to 12.60 GHz) with a notchband frequency from 5.15 GHz to 5.825 GHz. Propagation measurements indicate that the electromagnetically coupled slot provides a greater reduction in stopband gain for the three principal planes, compared to placing the slot in the fed element. This is desirable to mitigate interference from WLAN systems. A full parametric study of the antenna is presented.

Printed Monopole

A type of telecommunication technology called an ultra-wideband (UWB) is used to provide a typical solution for short-range wireless communication due to large bandwidth and low power consumption in transmission and reception. Printed monopole antennas are considered as a preferred platform for implementing this technology because of its alluring characteristics such as light weight, low cost, ease of fabrication, integration capability with other systems, etc. Therefore, a compact-sized ultra-wideband (UWB) printed monopole antenna with improved gain and efficiency is presented in this article. Computer simulation technology microwave studio (CSTMWS) software is used to build and analyze the proposed antenna design technique. This broadband printed monopole antenna contains a jug-shaped radiator fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) technique. The designed UWB antenna is fabricated on a low-cost FR-4 substrate with relative permittivity of 4.3, loss tangent of 0.025, and a standard height of 1.6 mm, sized at 25 mm × 22 mm × 1.6 mm, suitable for wireless communication system. The designed UWB antenna works with maximum gain (peak gain of 4.1 dB) across the whole UWB spectrum of 3–11 GHz. The results are simulated, measured, and debated in detail. Different parametric studies based on numerical simulations are involved to arrive at the optimal design through monitoring the effects of adding cuts on the performance of the proposed antennas. Therefore, these parametric studies are optimized to achieve maximum antenna bandwidth with relatively best gain. The proposed patch antenna shape is like a jug with a handle that offers greater bandwidth, good gain, higher efficiency, and compact size.

AbstractIn this paper, a novel bird face microstrip printed monopole ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is investigated. The proposed compact antenna consists of a ring-shaped with additional slot and slotted ground plane on FR4 material. The overall electrical dimension of the proposed antenna is 0.25 λ×0.36 λ×0.016 λ and is energized by microstrip feed line.

The impedance bandwidth of the monopole antenna cover 3.1–12.3 GHz (9.2 GHz, BW) frequency range. The messurement displayed that the designed antenna achieved excellent gain and stable omnidirectional radiation patterns within the UWB. The maximum gain of 6.8 dBi and omnidirectional radiation pattern makes the proposed antenna that is suitable for UWB systems.

Abstract A microstrip line –fed broadband dual circular polarized, two port printed monopole antenna is presented. The antenna consists of a ground plane with arrow shaped stub at the corner and a pair of inverted L-shaped feed lines. The 3dB axial ratio bandwidth of the antenna is about 58%(1.7GHz-3.1GHz) in which the return loss and isolation are better than 10dB and 12dB respectively. A parametric study of proposed antenna’s geometric parameters is given for understanding of the antenna performance. The realize gain, reflection coefficient (S 11 ) and transmission coefficient (S 21 ) are higher than 1, 10 and 12dB respectively within the entire axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW).

In this paper, a tri-band printed monopole antenna with electrically coupled metamaterial units is proposed and investigated. The proposed antenna is designed to cover WLAN/WiMAX applications. The antenna consists of a printed strip line and two double metamaterial unit cells of different size placed near the monopole antenna on opposite sides. Each unit cell exhibits a negative permeability over the resonance frequency at 2.5 GHz and 3.62 GHz, which produces magnetic couplings with the monopole antenna. The proposed antenna structure was fabricated and measured. The measured -10 dB bandwidth for the return loss is from 2.47GHz-2.51GHz, 3.59GHz-3.69GHz, and 5.3GHz - 7.2 GHz, which are suitable for (WLAN: 2.4–2.484, 5.15–5.35, and 5.725–5.85 GHz) and (WiMAX: 2.5–2.69, 3.4–3.8, and 5.25–5.85 GHz) band Applications. By using the switches across the gap of proposed-MTM unit cell, the effect of this unit deactivated and its resonance frequency will disappear. Hence, the proposed antenna maintains the omnidirectional radiation pattern.

This paper presents the design of a wideband circularly-polarized printed monopole antenna with a rhomboid shape. The rhomboid-shaped patch is fed by a microstrip line offset from the center to generate circular polarization (CP). The ground plane configuration is optimized for wide bandwidth operation. Bandwidth (satisfying both 10-dB return loss and 3-dB axial ratio) of 76% (1.92 - 4.27 GHz) is achieved in this research. The size of the proposed antenna is 0.386 2 0 l (55?66 mm2) where ?0 is the free space wavelength which corresponds to the center frequency of the bandwidth. The antenna has a fractional bandwidth-size ratio (BW/size) of 1.97 which is higher than most CP monopole antennas in the literature. This antenna is suitable for Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and other wireless applications which outperform using circular polarization.

AbstractThis paper represents a comparative study on electromagnetic (EM) absorption in the human head between a printed monopole antenna and a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). The specific absorption rate (SAR) values and total absorbed power in the human head phantom are used to evaluate EM absorption for both antennae. Moreover, antenna performances in terms of return loss, radiation efficiency, and gain are also investigated in this study. The finite integration technique (FIT) based on CST Microwave studio and SAM head phantom are used in this study. The antenna performances are measured in an anechoic chamber and the SAR is tested using COMOSAR measurement system. The obtained results indicate that the printed monopole antenna lead to higher EM absorption in the human head as compared to PIFA for both GSM frequencies.
