In this article, a novel compact triple-band monopole antenna for WLAN/WiMAX applications is proposed. The proposed antenna is designed on an FR-4 substrate with thickness of 0.8mm, relative permittivity of 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.02. It consists of a square ring, an open ended stub, and an inverted T-shaped stub. Three bands covering 2.3–2.76, 3.387–3.73, and 4.97–6.28 GHz are achieved, whic...

In this paper, a new method for radar cross section reduction of a monopole antenna is proposed. In this method, a plasma helix like fluorescent bulbs is placed around the antenna element. The selected plasma parameter for this medium acts as an absorber without disturbing the antenna performance. The simulations show that radar cross section of simulated antenna is reduced in a wide frequency ...

A new design of non-planar magneto-electric monopole antenna is proposed and presented. This antenna consists of a novel design of electric monopole with dual shaped feed line design and possesses 61.5% impedance bandwidth, from 4.5GHz–8.5GHz. The antenna exhibits stable omnidirectional radiation pattern with almost identical E-plane and H-plane radiation patterns and also provides a peak gain ...

A compact monopole antenna having wide bandwidth with multi-bands as well as dual polarization characteristics for wireless communication is presented. To get impedance matching for the SMA conductor, the antenna is fed up by Micro-strip feeding technique. In this, the antenna is embedded by an L-shaped slots on the ground plane, to improve the bandwidth by excited the addition of resonance. To...

An investigation of magnetic current distribution of CPW fed arrow shaped UWB antenna is reported. This enables the precise prediction of working principle of UWB antenna, since the traditional UWB antenna simulations ignore important details. The computation was performed numerically for an arrow shaped antenna at different resonant frequencies at various input current phase changes and was fo...

We investigate four types of gold nanoantennae (the monopole, the dipole, the cone-shaped, and the cone-bowtie antenna), under a fixed working wavelength. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations show that the near-field enhancement values do not increase monotonously when the antennae sizes decrease, and optimization conditions vary with the antenna shapes. We also propose a distri...

A planar triple-band monopole antenna with a U-shaped stripline and a L slot is presented. The antenna is very compact with a size of 20 × 30 × 1.5mm3 and fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line with a defected ground. The measured −10 dB impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna covers 2.33 GHz–2.51GHz, 3.25 GHz–3.82 GHz, and 4.83 GHz–8.4GHz, respectively, which meets the specifications of WLAN 2.4/5....
