Compact Vivaldi patch antenna with a parasitic meander line is presented in this paper. A PIN diode switch is used to connect and disconnect ultrahigh frequency band (UHF) with ultrawide bandwidth (UWB). The operating frequencies can be switched among different services, depending on the switching states (ON/OFF) to add the lower band when required. This antenna is suitable for portable DVB-T which extended from 450 MHz to 850 MHz receiver applications and the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) IEEE 802.11b,g (5.1–5.8) GHz frequency bands and WiMAX band (3.3–3.8) GHz. The measured reflection coefficient of the proposed antenna is compared with the simulated one; good agreement is observed. Also, simulated radiation pattern of the antenna is presented. All simulations are carried out using the EM commercial simulator, high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) ver.13.

In this paper, a compact tri-band asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS)-fed meander-line antenna for wireless communications is proposed. Two inverted-L-shaped resonators are added to a simple meandered radiator for standard tri-band operation. Parametric studies indicate that operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are determined by the dimensions of the two inverted-L-shaped resonators. The measured results show that the proposed antenna can achieve three frequency bands; i.e. 1.48–1.63, 2.25–2.48, and 4.22–6.0 GHz. These bands can successfully cover the global positioning system L1, wireless local area network (WLAN), and HIPERLAN/2 operation bands, respectively. The proposed antenna exhibits good radiation patterns with reasonable gain and high radiation efficiency across the operating bands. In addition, the proposed antenna has compact size and simple feeding scheme, which make it suitable to be integrated within the portable device for wireless communications.

Antena merupakan satu komponen penting dalam sistem komukasi wayarles. Antena mikrojalur boleh digunakan untuk aplikasi wayarles kerana ia mempunyai ciri–ciri seperti ringan, mudah dipasang dan dihasilkan dalam kuantiti yang banyak. Walaupun antenna mikrojalur mempunyai ciri–ciri tersebut yang menjadikannya sesuai untuk digunakan dalam aplikasi wayarles, namun ia mempunyai satu kekurangan yang agak serius, iaitu ciri lebar jalur yang sempit. Selalunya, antena mikrojalur mempunyai jalur di antara 1 – 3%. Tetapi, sekiranya kekurangan ini dapat diatasi, potensi antena mikrojalur boleh dimaksimumkan. Satu teknik alternatif untuk memperluaskan lebar jalur antena mikrojalur telah dikaji dan dicadangkan di sini. Aplikasi wayarles yang telah dipilih untuk dikaji ialah rangkaian kawasan tempatan tanpa wayar (WLAN) berasaskan kepada piawaian IEEE 802.11b. Di Malaysia, jalur WLAN adalah di antara 2.4 GHz hingga 2.48 GHz. Teknik yang dipilih untuk meluaskan lebar jalur ini ialah Antena Mikrojalur Dua Tampal Serupa Dengan Ruangan Udara (IDMA). Dengan menggunakan teknik ini, perluasan lebar jalur hingga lebih kurang 11% dapat dicapai. Jalur ini sememangnya dapat merangkumi jalur WLAN dengan frekuensi operasinya pada 2.45 GHz. Kata kunci: Rangkaian kawasan tempatan wayarles (WLAN); antena mikrojalur dua tampal serupa dengan ruangan udara (IDMA) Antenna is a vital component in wireless application systems. The microstrip antenna can be used for wireless applications as it has features such as light weight, easily mounted and it is easy to mass produce. Although there are many features that suits well for microstrip antenna to be deployed for wireless applications, there is a very serious limitation where it has a very narrow bandwidth. The typical bandwidth of the microstrip antennas is between 1 – 3%. If this limitation is eliminated, the microstrip antenna can be used to its full potential. An alternative bandwidth enhancement technique is studied and then proposed in order to broaden the bandwidth of the microstrip antenna. The wireless application that is selected to be studied is the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11b standard. In Malaysia, this WLAN band spans from 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz. The bandwidth enhancement technique which is selected is the Identical Dual–Patch Microstrip Antenna with Air–Gap (IDMA). By using this technique, a bandwidth enhancement of about 11% has been achieved. This bandwidth very well covers the required WLAN band with an operating frequency of 2.45 GHz. Key words: Wireless local area network (WLAN); identical dual patch microstrip antenna with air–gap (IDMA)

In this communication, design of asymmetrical multiple open slot loaded microstrip antenna for WiBro/WiMAX/WLAN band operation is presented. The substrate material is chosen as FR4 ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) and fed by coaxial feeding. This antenna is able to radiate at four resonating bands. The antenna is radiating between 2.29 and 2.39 GHz, which is suitable for Wireless Broadband, WiBro. In parallel to this design, this antenna is also radiating in (5.16–5.36 GHz and 5.725–5.825 GHz) range which cover Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN (5.2/5.8 GHz) bands. Moreover, this antenna is radiating in (3.28–3.65 GHz, 5.45–5.65 GHz) range which is suitable for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMAX (3.5/5.5) GHz bands. Measured results have proven that there is a good agreement with the simulated results of farfield patterns, reflection coefficient, peak gain of the proposed asymmetrical multiple open slot loaded microstrip antenna. The volume of this design is [Formula: see text]. Radiation pattern is noticed as stable at all obtained resonating frequencies. Maximum gain of 4.2 dBi is achieved between 3.28 and 3.65 GHz frequency band.

In this paper, a new miniaturized compact dual-band microstrip slot antenna is presented. To achieve the dual-band characteristics, two adjunct partial arc-shaped small slots are joined to two main circular slots embedded in the ground of the antenna structure. With a reduced size of 30 × 28.5 × 0.8 mm3, the proposed antenna presents a dual-band characteristic. The design is optimized using a High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) followed by experimental verifications. An impedance bandwidth, for S11≤10 dB, that covers the 1.8 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands is accomplished, which makes the proposed antenna basically suitable for hand-held devices and medical applications. More applications such as digital communication system (DCS) 1.71–1.88 GHz, personal communication services (PCS) 1.85–1.99 GHz, Universal and mobile telecommunications system UMTS 1.92–2.17 GHz, Bluetooth 2.4–2.5 GHz, and Wi-Fi 2.4–2.454 GHz, Industrial Scientific and Medical radio frequency (RF) band ISM-2.4 GHz, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN-2.4)are possible by simply changing one of the geometrical antenna dimensions. The antenna is characterized by stable radiation patterns as well.

A miniaturized triple band monopole antenna with a small size is proposed and its performance is investigated both numerically and experimentally for worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) and wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The three resonance frequencies are realized by using a toothbrush-shaped patch (TSP), a meander line (ML), and an inverted U-shaped patch (IUSP). The center frequencies of the triple bands can be controlled by adjusting the dimensions of the TSP, ML, and IUSP. Simulated and measured results are presented to demonstrate that the proposed triband monopole antenna with a good impedance bandwidth and omnidirectional radiation patterns is well suitable for WLAN and WiMAX communication applications.

We report in this paper a novel miniaturized (12 × 18 × 1.6 mm3) microstrip fed UWB antenna with tunable notched band characteristics. The proposed antenna covers the tunable notched band for IEEE 802.11a wireless local area network operating in the frequency band of 5.15–5.825 GHz. The design of proposed antenna includes annular ring radiating patch with two T-shaped strips present inside it. The band notching is obtained by adjusting coupling between T-shaped strips placed inside the annular ring. In order to achieve larger bandwidth the ground plane of the microstrip antenna is modified. The simulated return loss of the proposed antenna has been verified in fabricated antenna experimentally, which has been in good agreement.
