The present paper is a work on fluorescent tube performing the function of a monopole plasma antenna. In the construction, the needed power supply to the fluorescent tube is controlled by an IC 555 timer. In the experiments the supply frequency varies from 25Hz to 200Hz. By using a vector network analyzer it is shown that the persistence of plasma developed inside the tube persists for longer d...

This article proposes a quad band patch antenna for mobile communication. The design requirements are to meet the 0.9 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz and 2.45 GHz bands. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular patch monopole printed antenna in which slotting technique is used to achieve multi band resonance. The Patch with three slotted lines generates four resonating frequencies to cover 0.9 GHz ...

This paper introduces the design of a new dual-band internal printed monopole antenna structure as a candidate for WLAN (wireless local area network) USB (universal serial bus) dongle applications. The proposed antenna structure is based on the second iteration of Peanotype space-filling geometry. The antenna has been printed on a substrate with relative permittivity of 2.33 and thickness of 0....

A wideband planar monopole antenna with an L-shape ground plane is presented. The antenna also has a frequency-notching characteristic. By etching a half-wavelength U-shaped slot in the interior of the radiation element, the frequency-notching characteristic has been created. This paper presents the design and experimental results of the proposed antenna. Moreover, the study also investigates t...

A compact microstrip-line-fed antenna designed by inserting two pairs of strips into a rectangular slot for achieving tripleband operation is proposed. The antenna, which occupies a small size of only 40 × 32 × 1.6mm3, utilizes inserted strips to generate dual band-notched characteristics so that three operating bands are able to be achieved, which range from 2.2 to 2.7, 3.07 to 3.86 and 5.13 t...

A printed monopole antenna with CPW-fed is proposed. The proposed antenna includes a rectangle shape radiator, two ground planes with symmetrical notch and feed excitation. It covers the all ultra wideband (UWB 3.1GHz ~ 10.6GHz) and has 7.8GHz (2.8GHz ~ 10.6GHz) measured return loss bandwidth. In modifiable design, we choose to design the notches on the ground plane, the high of the proposed an...

This paper presents the design and results of a compact tapered U slot UWB printed monopole microstrip antenna. The planar, very small, thin UWB antenna fed by a single 50? microstrip line with truncated ground plane is excited by a coaxial SMA connector. The simulation was done using Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software. Extensive investigations and parametric analysis is ...

In this paper, we designed and implemented an internal multi-band folded monopole antenna for mobile handset. The proposed antenna covers Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM900: 880~960 MHz), Digital Communications System (DCS: 1710~1880 MHz), USPersonal Communications Service (US-PCS: 1850~1990 MHz), Bluetooth(2400~2484 MHz), WiMAX(3400~3600 MHz), and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN...

This paper shows quantitative evaluation of coupling between a monopole antenna outside a shield case and a strip line inside that for a portable telephone. The amount of the coupling is calculated using FDTD method together width EMF method. This combination of methods can raise the calculation efficiency. Dependence of the coupling on the length of gaps, the height of the strip line and the l...

An ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with dual band-notch characteristic is proposed. Dual arm spiral resonators (DASR) are placed on both sides of the feed line to create band notches at 5.25 and 5.8GHz for the upper and lower WLAN bands respectively. First the antenna is optimized individually for both upper and lower WLAN band-notch behaviors then embedded together for dual band-notch ch...
