Abstract—In this research, a compact printed antenna design operating on ultra-wideband (UWB) and three extra wireless communication bands is proposed. An ellipse-shaped monopole is utilized to realize UWB application (3.1–10.6 GHz). The modified ground employs three folded Capacitive Loaded Line Resonators (CLLRs) to obtain triple relatively lower communication bands, including parts of global...

In this paper, we present a low-profile, compact, ultrawideband antenna that uses a set of closely coupled radiators. The system of two coupled radiators has two different linearly independent modes of operation with complementary frequency bands of operation. These include the differential mode and the common mode of operation. When the antenna is excited in the common mode of operation, it ac...

A new broadband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with good isolation and compact size is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of two G-shaped elements in the upper layer and two inverted L protrude branches and a T slot etched in ground which is used to reduce the mutual coupling. This planar antenna has a bandwidth of 100% with |S11| ≤ -10 dB from 2.26GHz to 6.78 GHz. The value...

A novel printed octagonal fractal microstrip antenna with semi-elliptical ground plane is presented for ultra wide band applications. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 20×20×1 mm³. The measured result of the antenna exhibits the ultra wide band characteristics from 2/9 to 14/2 GHz. In this paper, reducing antenna’s size by 35%, the same results were achieved, while small dimension frac...

In this paper, a new reconfigurable frequency microstrip antenna with an ability of two rejecting intruder frequency WLAN and WiMAX bands for UWB applications is presented. In this antenna, a defect ground structure (DGS) and a U-shaped slot which is located on the ground plane have been used to improve bandwidth. Antenna impedance matching has been achieved through creating two symmetric incis...

A novel planar ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with triple-notched bands using triple-mode stub loaded resonator (SLR) is presented in this paper. The basic UWB antenna consists of a circularshaped radiating element, a 50Ω microstrip feed line, and a partially truncated ground plane. Then, the resonance properties of the SLR are studied. Results reveal that the multiple-mode property of the SLR ca...

A compact reconfigurable antenna integrated with stepped impedance stub (SIS) loaded stepped impedance resonator (SIR) and SIS loaded hexagon stepped impedance resonator (HSIR) for ultra wideband (UWB) applications is proposed in this paper. The reconfigurable UWB antenna can work as a UWB antenna and a dual notch band UWB antenna by controlling the switches ON and OFF. The proposed two notch b...

We propose square shape patch antenna in this research work. Focus of the work is to obtain large bandwidth with compact ground plane for wireless applications. The proposed antenna is designed using dielectric material of FR4 having height of 1.6 mm and having r of 4.4. We simulated the proposed antenna in CST Microwave Studio. Simulation results show that the proposed antenna achieved bandwid...

Systems that can operate over wide frequency ranges with agile beam scanning and frequency hopping are receiving increased attention due to recent trends within communication, radar and EW applications. In addition to requiring wideband apertures, T/R modules, beamforming and beam shaping, a wideband multifunction antenna system must also be able to instantaneously reconfigure the array to the ...
