In this paper, small printed flower-shape triple notch ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with high band rejection is presented. Notch bands include WiMAX (IEEE802.16 3.30–3.80 GHz), WLAN IEEE802.11a/h/j/n (5.15–5.35, 5.25–5.35, 5.47–5.725, 5.725–5.825 GHz), and X-band downlink satellite system (7.1–7.9 GHz). By including inverted T-shape stub and etching two C-shaped slots on the radiating patch, triple band-notch function is obtained with measured high band rejection (VSWR = 14.52 at 3.58 GHz, VSWR = 15.88 at 5.69 GHz and VSWR = 6.95 at 7.61 GHz) and covers a UWB useable fractional bandwidth of 114.30% (2.74–10.57 GHz = 7.83 GHz). In short the antenna offers triple band-notch UWB systems as a compact multifunctional antenna to reduce the number of antennas installed in wireless devices for accessing multiple wireless networks with wide radiation pattern. The proposed antenna has a small size of about 0.25λ × 0.30λ at 4.2 GHz (first resonance frequency), which has a size reduction of 30% with respect to the earlier published antenna. Both the experimental and simulated results of the proposed antenna are presented, indicating that the antenna is a good candidate for various UWB applications.

     

Dual Band-Notched Small Monopole Antenna with Enhanced Bandwidth for UWB Applications

This article proposes a novel printed monopole antenna for ultra wideband applications with dual band-notch function. The antenna consists of a disc-shaped radiating patch with a pair of folded strips arms, and a ground plane with a two L-shaped conductor backed plane, which provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 140 % (2.6–14.43 GHz). In order to generate single band-notch characteristics, we use a modified disc-shaped radiating patch with a pair of folded strips arms also by using this modified radiating patch, additional resonance is excited and hence much wider impedance bandwidth can be produced, especially at the higher band. By adding two L-shaped conductor backed plane in the ground plane a dual band notch function is achieved. The measured results reveal that the presented dual band-notch monopole antenna offers a very wide bandwidth with two notched bands, covering all the 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN, 3.5/5.5 GHz WiMAX and 4 GHz C bands. The designed antenna has a small size of $12\times 18\,\hbox {mm}^{2}$ .

Design and Analysis of Triple-Band Rectangular Microstrip Antenna Loaded with Notches and Slots for Wireless Applications

In this paper, a rectangular triple-band microstrip antenna has been designed for Bluetooth application by successively loading notches and slots of different dimension in radiating patch. The conventional microstrip antenna suffers with narrow impedance bandwidth. The current work affords an alternate option to enhance the bandwidth of antenna that resonates in triple-band operation. Initially, the antenna is resonating in single-band but after loading slots, the bandwidth of microstrip antenna has been obtained 1.97% (lower band), 10.35% (middle band) and 33.16% (upper band) resonating in triple-band with three resonant frequency at 1.422 GHz (lower resonant frequency), 1.791 GHz (middle resonant frequency) and 2.467 GHz (higher resonant frequency). The suggested antenna has upper frequency band in the range of 2.045–2.858 GHz resonating at 2.467 GHz frequency and it is appropriate for Bluetooth applications (2.40–2.48 GHz) and both lower band useful for other wireless (L-band) applications. The return loss of upper band is ??34.52 dB at 2.467 GHz. The suggested microstrip antenna is directly fed by 50 ohm microstrip line feed. The suggested antenna has been designed, simulated and analyzed by IE3D simulation software.

In this paper, a ultra-wideband slot antenna is proposed and developed for multi-band wireless communication applications. The radiating slot is fed by a microstrip line with a microstrip fork shaped tuning stub and backed by a finite metallic reflector.

Isolation enhancement for dual‐band MIMO antenna system using multiple slots loading technique

In this paper, a novel multiple slot loading technique is studied in detail for the isolation enhancement of the dual‐band MIMO antenna system. The proposed MIMO antenna design consists of the microstrip patch loaded with T‐shaped slots parallel to the non‐radiating edge of the patch. The frequency tuning could be achieved by varying the length of the T‐shape slot arm. The proposed MIMO antenna system is optimised for operation in WLAN and WiMAX applications. The isolation enhancement is achieved by providing simple multiple slots loaded in the ground plane between radiating elements. The length of the slots is λ/4 . The system is fabricated and tested using a vector network analyser and anechoic chamber. The reduction in mutual coupling up to ?29.16 dB and ?24.09 dB for the 2.4 GHz and 3.4 GHz, respectively, is achieved. The bandwidths are 62.3 MHz (3.33–3.39 GHz) and 55.5 MHz (2.37–2.42 GHz), respectively. The total gain obtained in this case is 1.8 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 1.2 dBi at 3.4 GHz, respectively. The dimensions of the proposed designed antenna are 70 mm × 60 mm × 1.6 mm. The results were also verified through mutual coupling parameters like envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) and channel capacity loss (CCL) at the desired frequencies.

Asymmetrical mirror imaged monopole antenna with modified ground structure for DBDP radiations

ABSTRACT

In this article, asymmetrical mirror-imaged monopole antenna comprises a rectangular patch with tuneable stub and supported with modified ground structure (MGS) is investigated. The proposed antenna is characterised for dual band dual polarised (DBDP) radiations and can operate at 2.45 GHz for Wi-Fi and WLAN systems (2.4–2.485 GHz) and 5.45 GHz for WLAN band (WLAN band: 5.2–5.8 GHz) with the corresponding polarisations. A rectangular patch integrated with tuneable stub and a pair of asymmetrical inverted L-shaped slots positioned at ground plane is responsible for circularly polarised higher band; while a parasitic patch is created due to slotting of a mirror-imaged stub from the extended ground plane which is accountable for lower frequency band. The fabricated prototype shows that the measured Impedance bandwidths (VSWR < 2) are 350 and 1770 MHz for lower and higher frequency bands, respectively. The measured axial ratio bandwidth (AR < 3 dB) is yielded as 1450 MHz centred at 5.44 GHz for higher frequency band. The peak gains are measured as 4.3 and 4.15 dB for lower and higher frequency band, respectively. For the prototype antenna, substantial 3-dB beamwidth is found along with good cross polarisation suppression.
