A thin dual-band internal patch antenna for Global System for Mobile Communication, 890-960 MHz/Digital Communication System, 1710-1880 MHz (GSM/DCS) operation in a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) phone is presented. The antenna can generate two wide resonant modes for GSM (890-960 MHz) and DCS (1710-1880 MHz) operation, yet it requires an air-layer substrate of thickness 4 mm only, which is among the thinnest internal mobile phone antennas that have been reported. The antenna's top patch comprises a resonant narrow strip supporting a longer resonant path for GSM operation and a resonant subpatch supporting a shorter resonant path for DCS operation. By including a suitable widened end portion for the narrow strip and a suitable tapered end portion for the subpatch, increased bandwidths for the proposed thin internal mobile phone antenna are obtained. Detailed design considerations of the proposed antenna are described. In addition, the user's hand effects on the performances of the proposed antenna are studied

A quarter-wave U-shaped patch antenna with two unequal arms for wideband and dual-frequency operation

A wideband and dual-frequency quarter-wave U-shaped patch antenna with two unequal arms on FR4 substrate is presented. The U-shaped patch antenna is fed electromagnetically by another coaxially-fed patch on the same layer, which operates at a higher frequency band. In this paper, we first proposed a new technique to obtain two closely staggered resonant modes to achieve a wide impedance bandwidth using two unequal arms of the U-shaped patch for the lower band. For the substrate thickness = 5, 7.5 and 11 mm, the measured bandwidths of the antennas operating around at 900 MHz are 7%, 10%, and 18%, respectively. Then, we modify the coaxially-fed patch so that both bands are wide in bandwidth. The resulting antenna operating at 900 and 1800-MHz bands with the substrate thickness 11 mm has a measured impedance bandwidth of 13.3% and 20 respectively. This thickness corresponds to 0.033 free-space wavelength at 900 MHz. The far-field radiation patterns are stable in the two operating bands. The proposed antenna is simple in structure compared with the regular stacked or coplanar parasitic patch antennas. It is highly suitable for indoor mobile communications.

Miniaturised reconfigurable window slot antenna using mechanical tuning

A novel design approach of varying the slot width on radiating patch of a microstrip antenna for achieving reconfigurable dual-band operation is proposed. The design of this miniaturised reconfigurable antenna is done without the use of active switches or MEMS. The dual band is obtained by rotating the strips on the patch creating slots and varying the slot width using mechanical tuning. The strip is rotated in angular position from 0° to 90° varying the slot width that alters the resonant frequency of the antenna making it resonate at different frequencies covering the wireless bands for global system for mobile communication, global positioning system, wireless local area network and Bluetooth. This antenna provides a dual-band operation that shifts over the bands depending upon the slot width. This antenna achieves the bandwidth requirement and gain in the bands of operation. The effect of change in slot width on the radiation pattern is also discussed. The prototype antenna is fabricated and tested to prove the proposed concept of design. The measured results are in agreement with the simulated results.

The method to realise the desired dual-band operation is by introducing a meandered wire and a conducting triangular section to a conventional inverted-L monopole, which results in a small antenna size of 7/spl times/18 mm/sup 2/. Good impedance bandwidth performance is also observed.     

Compact Wideband Meandered Slotted Multi Frequency Microstrip Antenna

A compact wideband multi frequency microstrip antenna for wireless communication is proposed in this paper. The antenna is designed by introducing meandered slot on the patch and a pair of spur lines along the triangular notch on the finite ground plane. The overall size of the fabricated antenna is very small and low profile as the total dimension is 20?×?16 mm². The proposed antenna operates at 3.7 GHz, 4.27 GHz and 5.1 GHz which may be suitable for WiMAX and WLAN applications. In addition with multi frequency operation a wide bandwidth (VSWR?≤?2) has been achieved from 6 to 13.7 GHz i.e. 78.2% bandwidth of center frequency, which is suitable for X-band communication and ITU band applications. The meandered slot on the patch causes multi frequency operation of the antenna with 60% compactness and the spur line along with triangular notch on finite ground plane cause bandwidth enhancement.

A printed small size (12×16.5 mm) ACS-fed e-shaped uniplanar antenna is proposed for dual band applications. The multiband operating characteristics have been achieved by integrating e-shaped radiating strips to the 50ΩACSfeed line. Two simultaneously operating wide bands have been generated by using optimized radiating branch strips for the multiband applications. For obtaining size reduction and wider impedance bandwidth, e-shaped meandered elements are chosen in the design. The proposed design features the bandwidth (VSWR < 2, reflection coefficient below–10 dB) of 100 MHz in 2.4–2.5 GHz, and 2100MHzin 4.0–6.1 GHz. The developed multiband antenna can be useful for several wireless communication applications, such as 2.4 GHz Bluetooth/RFID,WLAN(2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz), WiMAX (5.5 GHz), US public safety band (4.9 GHz), ISM band, radio frequency energy harvesting and internet of things (IoT) applications.     

Dual band microstrip patch antenna array loaded with split ring resonators and via holes

Reduction in antenna size by using multi-band radiators play a vital role in the miniaturization of present world wireless handheld devices, as dual band behaviour of the antennas result in the integration of more than one communication standard in a single system and thus, saving the installation space required for separate antennas. In this context, this communication presents a shorted-pin dual band metamaterial inspired microstrip patch antenna array. Under the unloaded conditions, the traditional patch antenna array resonates at 5.8 GHz with gain of 9.8 dBi and bandwidth of 540 MHz. However, when each patch of this traditional antenna array is loaded with split ring resonator (SRR) and a metallic via hole is introduced in the patch, the same antenna array produces an additional resonant frequency in IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi band with bandwidth and gain of 290 MHz and 5.6 dBi, respectively, while the initial resonant frequency (i.e. 5.8 GHz) gets shifted to IEEE 802.11ac 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, providing the gain and bandwidth of 11.4 dBi and 510 MHz, respectively. The proposed antenna array has been fabricated, and the measured results are presented to validate the proposed array. Moreover, the equivalent circuit of the proposed antenna array has been designed and analyzed to validate the simulated, measured and theoretical results. Attainment of dual band characteristics by incorporating the metamaterial with single band traditional patch antenna array makes this structure novel, as this has been achieved without any extra hardware cost, size and loss of structural planarity. Also, both the frequency bands of this proposed metamaterial inspired antenna array possess considerable gain and bandwidth.
