Compact dual-band patch antenna using spiral shaped electromagnetic bandgap structures for high speed wireless networks

This paper presents a compact dual-band slot antenna for 1.8/2.4 GHz WLAN applications using electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures. The slotted rectangular radiating element is surrounded by a spiral-like EBG. The antenna size is very compact (60 mm × 60 mm × 3.27 mm), and can be integrated easily with other RF front-end circuits. The working frequency of the patch antenna falls inside the EBG which will lead to the suppression of the surface waves. It is demonstrated that the proposed antenna can completely cover the required bandwidths of IEEE 802.11b/g and IEEE 802.11a with satisfactory radiation characteristics. The simulation is carried out using the finite integration time domain method (FITD) analysis technique. The EM simulated return loss, gain, directivity, radiation pattern, antenna efficiency and VSWR are presented for proposed antenna array. Good agreement is achieved between the simulated and measured results.

A CPW-feed printed slot antenna with circular polarization characteristics is presented in this paper. The basic structure of the antenna is a rectangular slot excited by a 50 Ω CPW line terminated on a trapezoidal shaped tuning stub.

ABSTRACT

A compact planar Ultrawideband (UWB) monopole antenna with quadruple band notch characteristics is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a notched rectangular radiating patch with a 50 Ω microstrip feed line, and a defected ground plane.

The fabricated antenna has a compact size of 24 mm × 30 mm × 1.6 mm with an impedance bandwidth ranging from 2.86 to 12.2 GHz for magnitude of S₁₁ < ?10 dB. The four band notched characteristics of proposed antenna are in the WiMAX (worldwide interoperability for microwave access) band (3.25–3.55 GHz), C band (3.7–4.2 GHz), WLAN (wireless local area network) band (5.2–5.9 GHz) and the downlink frequency band of X band (7–7.8 GHz) for satellite communication are obtained. The measured and simulation results of proposed antenna are in good agreement to achieve impedance matching, stable radiation patterns, constant gain and group delay over the operating bandwidth.
