Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is a wireless communication technology that can be utilized for precise indoor positioning system. UWB low power-consuming and resistant to complex multipath environments, thanks short pulse signal. Since the main desired characteristics of antennas radio-frequency localization systems are wide bandwidth, omnidirectional radiation pattern, profile simple integration with pr...

A compact dual-band multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO)/diversity antenna is proposed. This antenna is designed for 2.4/5.2/5.8GHz WLAN and 2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz WiMAX applications in portable mobile devices. It consists of two back-to-back monopole antennas connected with a T-shaped stub, where two rectangular slots are cut from the ground, which significantly reduces the mutual coupling between t...

A novel planar circular Apollonian fractal shaped UWB monopole antenna with band rejection capability is presented in this paper. The antenna performs satisfactorily in the frequency range 1.8–10.6GHz which gives a wide impedance bandwidth of 142% for VSWR within 2. The proposed antenna has the capability to reject the frequency band 5.125–5.825GHz assigned for IEEE802.11a and HIPERLAN/2. This ...

A printed monopole ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with frequency band-notched characteristics is proposed and investigated. The antenna consists of a half-disk shaped structure combined with an inverted isosceles trapezoid structure. To achieve the frequency band notched characteristics, an open-ended thin slit with a length of about one quarter guided wavelength is inserted on the radiator. Mult...

Here we present a comparison analysis on the single loop resonator (SLR) inspired triple-band monopole antennas. Two configurations with rectangular and circular shaped radiation patches are presented. Simultaneously, two feed techniques with coplanar waveguide and microstrip feeds are performed to drive the antennas. And the conventional planar monopole antennas without the SLRs are also analy...

A novel narrow compact CPW-fed rectangular monopole patch antenna is proposed for UMTS band. The purpose is to design a new narrow compact antenna structure by using of a new CPW feeding technique. The most significant characteristics of proposed antenna are: narrow compact size of 67.3×7.8×0.762 mm and very simple structure. The proposed low profile antenna is printed on a single layer dielect...
