In this paper, we have investigated a printed modified circular disc monopole antenna with cross-shaped slot in radiating patch for UWB applications. The proposed antenna covers the entire UWB band (i.e., 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz) except the frequency band of IEEE 802.11a (i.e., from 5.15GHz to 5.83GHz). This UWB antenna will be of use in environments where IEEE 802.11a WLAN devices are already in ope...

In this paper, a planar monopole antenna is introduced, also we added some new Nano fillers such as Fumed Silica and Aluminum Oxide to RT Duriod5880 and RO3003 to produce new Nano composite materials, then new Nano composite materials are used as a substrate of a ultra-wideband monopole antenna. Antenna characteristics are considered to illustrate that, by using these Nano composite materials, ...

This paper presents the development of an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) monopole antenna with dual band notch characteristics. Modified crown-square shaped fractal slots in the ground-plane are implemented to enhance the impedance bandwidth to around 58% as compared to conventional square monopole antenna without slots. Impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is approximately 114% with Voltage stan...

A novel compact design of planar T-shaped monopole antenna with multi-band operation for WLAN/WiMAX system is proposed. By insetting a pair of mirrored L-shaped monopole strips, multi resonant modes close to 2.45/3.5/5.5 GHz band are excited to meet the specifications of WLAN/WiMAX system. And, the obtained impedance bandwidth across the operating bands can reach about 160/1100/2690MHz for the ...

In this paper, a novel compact butterfly shaped printed monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is presented. The proposed antenna is designed with a standard printed circuit board (PCB) process for suitable integration with other microwave components. The antenna prototype is designed then fabricated and tested experimentally. The calculated impedance bandwidth of the proposed a...

Manuscript Received 4-June-2012 and revised 18-September-2012 ISSN: 2322-3936 Accepted on 1December-2012 Abstract—This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN rang...
