A dual-band circularly polarized stacked microstrip antenna for ISM Bands (2.45GHz & 5.8GHz) applications is designed and implemented. By stacking two different corner-truncated square patches in a dielectric substrate layer, the microstrip antenna for dual-frequency circular polarization (CP) can be achieved with −11.5 dB and −12.8 dB measured return loss for 2.45GHz and 5.8GHz. Semicircular g...

The design, fabrication, and characterization of the microstrip circular antenna arrays were presented. The proposed antennas were designed for single band at 2.45 GHz and dual bands at 3.3 3.6 and 5.0 6.0 GHz to support WLAN/WiMAX applications. The proposed single and dual band antennas showed omnidirectional radiation pattern with the gain values of 3.5 dBi at 2.45 GHz, 4.0 dBi at 3.45 GHz, a...

We investigate the performance and coexistence techniques for worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) delivered from high altitude platforms (HAPs) and terrestrial systems in shared 3.5 GHz frequency bands. The paper shows that it is possible to provide WiMAX services from individual HAP systems. The coexistence performance is evaluated by appropriate choice of parameters, which...

In this paper, a novel design of a compact planar ultra wide band (UWB) monopole antenna with triple band notched characteristics has been presented. The antenna has a unique shape and has been fed through a 50 Ω microstrip feedline. The strength of the antenna lies in three band notched properties for WiMax system at 3.3 3.7 GHz, WLAN IEEE 802.11a at 5.15 5.85 GHz and X band satellite communic...

In this paper, a stage wise realization of compact Bluetooth — UWB dual-band diversity antenna with WiMAX and WLAN band-notch characteristics is presented. The proposed structure consists of two co-planar semicircular dual band-notch monopole antennas, mounted with planar spiral. Individual antenna configuration provides an impedance bandwidth (VSWR < 2) for dualband i.e., both Bluetooth and UW...

In this paper, a multifunctional microstrip antenna is designed, fabricated and experimentally verified for operation in AWS, GSM, WiMAX and WLAN bands. This microstrip patch antenna has two U-shaped slots to achieve the dual wideband operation required to meet these specifications. The dimensions and locations of the Uslots are designed appropriately. The thick substrate used here helps in int...

A compact and planar dual band antenna for wireless communication is presented. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna can cover Bluetooth (2.4–2.484 GHz) and ultrawideband (UWB: 3.1–10.6GHz) bands. It is composed of a semi-bevelled-rectangle patch and a bended L-shaped strip and fed by a microstrip line. The antenna is built on a FR4 substrate with only 21mm × 35mm surface area includ...

The search for a simple broadband, multiband antenna with acceptable SWR over the entire 80/75-meter band continued with the publication of the article by Witt, AI1H, in April 1989 QST. This inspired author Belrose, VE2CV, to reopen his files on the "Windom antenna," or, more properly, the off-center-fed dipole. Particularly since the opening of the 10, 18 and 24-MHz bands, this time-honored, s...

A compact CPW-fed fractal circle monopole antenna with dual wideband is presented for simultaneously satisfying wireless local area network (WLAN) for 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz application. The antenna consists of irregular shape circles based on the Descartes circle theorem. The simulated -10 dB bandwidth for return loss is from 2.04 to 3.35 GHz and 4.96 to 5.9 GHz, covering all the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN...

Present wireless communication demands compact and intelligent devices with multitasking capabilities at affordable cost. The focus in the presented paper is on a dual band antenna for wireless communication with the capability of operating at two frequency bands with same structure. Two resonance frequencies are observed with the second operation band at 4.2GHz approximately three times the fi...
