An application of defected ground structure (DGS) to reduce out-of-band harmonics has been presented. A compact, proximity feed fractal slotted microstrip antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications has been designed. The proposed 3rd iteration reduces antenna size by 43% as compared to rectangular conventional antenna and by introducing H shape DGS, the size of an antenna is further reduced by 3%. The DGS introduces stop band characteristics and suppresses higher harmonics, which are out of the band generated by 1st, 2nd, and 3rd iterations. H shape DGS is etched below the 50 Ω feed line and transmission coefficient parameters (S21) are obtained by CST Microwave Studio software. The values of equivalent L and C model have been extracted using a trial version of the diplexer filter design software. The stop band characteristic of the equivalent LC model also has been simulated by the Advance Digital System software, which gives almost the same response as compared to the simulation of CST Microwave Studio V. 12. The proposed antenna operates from 2.4 GHz to 2.49 GHz, which covers WLAN band and has a gain of 4.46 dB at 2.45 GHz resonance frequency.

AbstractThe spectral congestion in existing Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) bands has led to the emergence of new ISM bands (Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII)) from 5.150 to 5.710 GHz. In this paper, a simple uniplanar, high gain, microstrip antenna is designed, fabricated, and tested for existing WLAN and new UNII standards. The proposed antenna provides dualband operation by joining two rectangular rings and cutting Defected Ground Structure in the Coplanar Wave Guide (CPW) feed. The experimental and simulation results show good return loss characteristics and stable radiation pattern over the desired frequency bands ranging from 2.20 to 2.65 GHz (WLAN band) at a lower frequency and from 5.0 to 5.45 GHz (UNII-1/UNII-2 bands). The measured peak gains are 5.5 and 4.9 dBi at 2.45 GHz (WLAN band) and 5.15 GHz (UNII band), respectively.

This paper presents a novel dual-band planar inverted-e-shaped antenna (PIEA) using defected ground structure (DGS) for Bluetooth and wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The PIEA can reduce electromagnetic interferences (EMIs) and it is constructed on a compact printed circuit board (PCB) size of 10 × 5 × 4 mm3. Experimental results indicate that the antenna with a compact meandered slit can improve the operating impedance matching and bandwidths at 2.4 and 5.5 GHz. The measured power gains at 2.4 and 5.5 GHz band are 1.99 and 3.71 dBi; antenna efficiencies are about 49.33% and 55.23%, respectively. Finally, the good performances of the proposed antenna can highly promote for mobile device applications.

Pada penelitian ini dirancang antena mikrostrip patch lingkaran dengan penambahan metode multilayer parasitic dan metode DGS (Defected Ground Structure). Rancangan antena yang disimulasikan memiliki frekuensi kerja 5,8 GHz untuk aplikasi WLAN (wireless local area network). Metode multilayer parasitic digunakan untuk meningkatkan gain antena., sedangkan metode DGS dipilih untuk mengurangi gelombang permukaan yang bisa menurunkan efisiensi antena. Antena yang dirancang dan disimulasikan memiliki 3 layer. Pada layer utama ditempatkan metode DGS berbentuk persegi panjang beserta pencatu antena. Layer end-parasitic ditempatkan di bawah layer utama yang terdiri dari ground dan substrat tanpa patch. Lalu layer front-parasitic ditempatkan di atas layer utama yang terdiri dari substrat dan patch saja tanpa ground. Antena ini dirancang dengan ground berbahan tembaga dengan ketebalan 0,035 mm, memiliki substrat berbahan FR-4 Epoxy dengan ketebalan 1,6 mm dan memiliki permitivitas relatif bernilai 4,6. Setelah dirancang dan disimulasikan, simulasi menunjukkan nilai return loss -17,548 dB, nilai VSWR 1,299, dan nilai gain 7,08 dB dengan pola radiasi direksional. Dengan menggunakan metode multilayer parasitic antena mengalami total peningkatan gain sebesar 5,33 dB. Hal ini menunjukkan metode multilayer parasitic dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan gain antena.

To incorporate two different communication standards in a single device, a compact triple-band antenna is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna is formed by etching an inverted L-shaped slot on the patch with defected ground structure. The antenna is targeted to excite three separate bands first from 2.39–2.51, second from 3.15–3.91, and third from 4.91–6.08 GHz that covers entire Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) (2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) (2.5/3.5/5.5) bands. Thus, the proposed antenna provides feasibility to integrate WLAN and WiMAX communication standards in a single device with good radiation pattern quality. Furthermore, a prototype of the proposed antenna fabricated and measured to validate the design, shows a good agreement between simulated and measured results. The simulation and measurement results show that the designed antenna is capable of operating over the 2.39–2.51 GHz, 3.15–3.91 GHz, and 4.91–6.08 GHz frequency bands while rejecting frequency ranges between these three bands. The proposed antenna offers a compact size of 20 × 30 mm2 as compared with earlier reported papers.

A compact and simple ultra-wideband microstrip-fed planar antenna with double bandstop characteristic is presented. The antenna consists of a rectangular monopole and two W-shaped slots inserted into the radiating patch and the truncated ground plane. By using a W-shaped slot defected ground structure (DGS) in the feedline, a stopband of 800 MHz (from 5.1 to 5.9 GHz) for band rejection of wireless local area network (WLAN) is achieved. To obtain the other stopband (from 3.7-4.4 GHz), a same shaped slot is etched into the monopole. Moreover, the two stopbands can be controlled by adjusting the length of the slot respectively. The simulation results show that the designed antenna, with a compact size of 38.5 mm×42.5 mm, has an impedance bandwidth of 2.811 GHz for voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2, besides two frequency stopbands of 3.74.4 GHz and 5.15.9 GHz. Moreover, the main features including omnidirectional H-plane radiation patterns and the appropriate impedance characteristic are achieved by beveling the radiating patch and the microstrip-fed line of the proposed antenna.

In the present work, a novel multistrip monopole antenna fed by a cross-shaped stripline comprising one vertical and two horizontal strips has been proposed for wireless local area network (WLAN)/Industrial, Scientific, and Medical band (ISM)/International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT)/BLUETOOTH/Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) applications. The designed antenna has a small overall size of 20 × 30 mm2. The goal of this paper is to use defected ground structure (DGS) in the proposed antenna design to achieve dual-band operation with appreciable impedance bandwidth at the two operating modes satisfying several communication standards simultaneously. The antenna was simulated using Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio (CST MWS) V9 based on the finite integration technique (FIT) with perfect boundary approximation. Finally, the proposed antenna was fabricated and some performance parameters were measured to validate against simulation results. The design procedure, parametric analysis, simulation results along with measurements for this multistrip monopole antenna using DGS operating simultaneously at WLAN (2.4/5.8 GHz), IMT (2.35 GHz), BLUETOOTH (2.45 GHz), and WiMAX (5.5 GHz) are presented.
