In recent days, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) technology has widely used for wireless mobile devices such as handsets, notebook PCs and so on. In addition, Multi-antenna systems for handsets such as diversity and Multiple-input Multiple-out (MIMO) applications has developed, which are seen as the potential technologies for enhancing the performance and capacity wit...

In this article, a printed triangular-shaped monopole antenna is proposed for emerging ultrawideband application. The proposed antenna uses a triangular radiating patch which is directly fed by a 50-X microstrip feed line. To improve the impedance bandwidth, a round-corner ground plane has been used. To further improve the impedance bandwidth for the entire band, a microstrip transition (near t...

A dual wideband CPW-fed slotted Koch snowflake fractal monopole, which is suitable for WLAN/WiMAX applications, is presented. The proposed antenna has been analyzed and designed with Ansoft HFSSTM v.11. Then an experimental prototype is fabricated and measured. It is compact with a total size of 41.5mm × 27 mm × 1mm (L × W × T ). Results of simulation and measurement indicate that the proposed ...

This paper presents a conical monopole antenna with two C-shaped slots to provide a frequency stopband to suppress interference. Compared to previous work reported in the literature, the antenna provides increased gain suppression to vertically polarised signals within the notch-band of up to 41.5 dB in four specific directions. It also yields omni-directional radiation patterns at frequencies ...

A V-shaped ultra-wideband antenna has been analyzed. Firstly, a rectangular planar monopole antenna has been studied and its base is tapered to obtain a better bandwidth. The feed-line is then offset for impedance matching. A bandwidth of around 14.3 GHz is obtained for this configuration. Then, a V-slot is cut in the patch and a parametric study of the width of the V-slot, the width of the pat...

In this paper, we have investigated printed monopole antennas, which is basically printed microstrip antenna with etched ground plane for UWB applications. In particular, we have simulated two types of UWB printed monopole antennas: circular and modified circular disk monopole antennas. Simple rectangular microstrip lines are used for feeding the printed monopole antennas. This UWB monopole ant...
