This paper tells how to construct rectangular monopole antenna which will be printed on printed circuit board (PCB). The antenna behaves as planar monopole antenna as it has rectangular patch and ground plane which lies in same plane of PCB. Also this antenna is a broadband antenna because its ratio bandwidth lies under broadband category. In comparison with monopole antenna broadband planer mo...

Introduction: Space-time codes with antenna subset selection has been a subject of intense research recently [1–6]. In [1] and [4], the error performance of the Alamouti scheme with transmit antenna selection was investigated and it was shown that a full diversity order can be achieved, as if all the transmit antennas were used. In most of the published papers dealing with transmit antenna sele...

This paper describes the requirements of the antennas or antenna systems in recent high-speed and high-capacity wireless communication systems and the key technologies for satisfying them. It also explains the antennas and antenna systems being researched and developed for next-generation wireless communication systems. The antenna in such a system requires high gain, high-efficiency antenna el...

this article presents an overview of the recent Frequency dependent and Frequency independent antenna theory. An antenna is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as “a usually metallic device (as a rod or wire) for radiating (transmitting) or receiving radio waves or EM wave.” The IEEE Standard Definitions of Terms for Antennas (IEEE Std 145–1983) defines the antenna as “a means for radiating or rece...

In this paper Electromagnetic Band Gap structure with microstrip antenna has been proposed. Many small and compact periodic EBGs have been investigated to design the antenna. Simulation is done on the HFSS software tool. The antenna is designed on the 21x31mm FR4 substrate with the dielectric constant of 4.4. The designed antenna is designed to resonate at 8GHz frequency. The designed antenna i...

An internal compact printed loop antenna with matching element is presented for laptop applications. Bending to the printed loop structure is employed to reduce the size of antenna. A matching element is used at backside of the substrate to enhance the bandwidth of the antenna. The matching element is of rectangular shape with inverted U shape slot in it. The proposed antenna with wideband char...

In this paper, we propose a small switched-beam antenna for mobile terminal. This kind of antenna is a single compact slot antenna fed by microstrip line. This proposed antenna provides three different radiation patterns. The antenna is designed to cover 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS; 1.922.17 GHz). Its advantage is small of size and easy to manufacture. The performance of...

This paper presents the aspects related to the design and development of a tapered spiral helix antenna covering the frequency range 1.2-18GHz. It is a compact stateof-the-art circularly polarized antenna, which works over multi-octave frequency bandwidth (1.2-18 GHz).The antenna size has been reduced by 50 percent with respect to conventional spiral antenna used for same frequency band. Spiral...
