A metamaterial-based monopole antenna which resonates at L (L1 and L5) and S band for the IRNSS applications is described. The antenna has a low profile and is nearly is four times smaller in size than a conventional patch antenna. The multifrequency behavior is realized using a reactively loaded structure for the monopole antenna resulting in operation at both monopole and dipole modes. The monopole resonates at S Band and the dipolar mode resonance at L5 band. The novelty of the configuration is in realizing an additional band by introducing small square slot in the loaded structure. Copper wires are used to balance the current between the two ground at the antenna and the CPW feed line. The performance of the antenna is evaluated using ANSYS HFSS.

This paper proposes a beam-reconfigurable antenna for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with wide beam coverage by applying beam-combining technology to multiple antennas with different beam patterns. The proposed multi-antenna system consists of a circular patch antenna and a low-profile printed meandered monopole antenna. For beam combining, a coplanar waveguide with ground (CPW-G) structure feeding network is proposed, and it consists of two input ports, a 90° hybrid coupler, a microstrip 90° phase delay line, and a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch. It performs the role of power distribution and phase adjustment, and synthesizes the broad-side beam of the monopole antenna and the end-fire beam of the patch antenna to form the directive broadside beams in four different directions. The proposed antenna system operates at 5–5.5 GHz which covers both UAV ground control frequencies (5.03–5.09 GHz) and UAV mission frequencies (5.091–5.150 GHz). The peak gain, total efficiency, and half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of the antenna system are approximately 5.8 dBi, 76%, 145° in the elevation plane, and 360° in the azimuth plane respectively. Its electrical size and weight are λ 0 × λ 0 × 0.21 λ 0 at 5.09 GHz and 19.2 g, respectively.

Umbrella Monopole Antenna (UMA) proposed in this paper for 5G application. We designed four models of UMA, i.e: UMA-A, UMA-B, UMA-C, and UMA-D. The antenna has a curvature in the patch as an umbrella shape with a feeding shape a microstrip feed line. Four variations of the patch antenna have been designed and get different performance in VSWR, surface current, and directivity. The proposed antenna has a wide bandwidth that operates 8 GHz – 30 GHz with VSWR <2 dB. The Increasing of directivity is reached for UMA-A, UMA-C, UMA-D, and UMA-B, i.e: 6.38 dBi, 7.97 dBi, 8,84dBi, and 9,15 dBi respectively at 24 GHz. The maximum gain has been reached for UMA-B of 9.15. The lowest frequency that has a return loss of 10 dB has resulted for UMA-D in the frequency around 5 GHz. All of the UMA antennas can be applied for 5G mmwave applications at 24 GHz and 28 GHz.
