The investigations on U-slot loaded and V-slot loaded proximity coupled microstrip antennas are reported. The performances of two antennas are investigated in frequency band of high performance wireless local area network (HIPERLAN/2) using IE3D software and the computed results are verified by measurement. Results show that the antennas have wide bandwidth and moderate gain and may be used as ...

Abstract A low‐profile rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) through the slot‐based feed method is studied for multiband operation. Based on perfect magnetic wall (PMW) model and waveguide (DWM), field distributions resonant frequencies of RDRA intrinsic modes are calculated multimodal analysis. The microstrip backed slot coupling scheme employed simultaneous excitation multiple modes...

A novel printed top-loaded monopole antenna with a pair of sleeves on the ground plane for multiband wireless local area network (WLAN) applications is presented. This antenna is composed of a top-loaded monopole and two sleeves on a ground plane. Both the antenna and the ground plane are printed on the same side of an inexpensive FR4 substrate. This antenna has light weight and compact size of...

This paper introduces a novel compact wideband CPWfed slot antenna comprising of an E-shaped patch that is excited with a trident shaped feed-line structure. The antenna design exhibits a very wide operating bandwidth of over 168% with S11 < −10 dB in the frequency range 1.6 to 18.9GHz. The antenna’s radiation characteristics are stable across this wide bandwidth. The proposed antenna exhibits ...
