A newly designed printed slot antenna is presented that incorporates variable two band-notched functions for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The two band notches of this coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed antenna are achieved by an M-shaped slot (MSS) embedded in the radiating element and a C-shaped strip (CSS) close to ground plane, therefore two very narrow rejected properties in the wireless lo...

A reduced ground plane diamond shaped multiband microstrip slot antenna is proposed. The antenna is designed with two symmetrical slots to form the diamond shape and the patch is fed with a microstripline. The slots make the antenna to have multiple resonances to operate in the frequency bands of 2.15 GHz to 7.8 GHz with a peak gain of 6.09 dB at 6.83 GHz and above 2 dB in all operating bands a...

A single-feed low-profile and easy to fabricate circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna has been developed for GPS applications. For dual frequency operation, four slots are etched near edges of the patch and a crossed slot etched in the center for generating circular polarization. In order to reducing the frequency ratio of two frequency bands of the antenna, the patch is loaded by four ...

A compact microstrip-fed antenna with dual notched bands is proposed. First, a simple basic configuration is presented for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications and then the dual band notched structure is extended from the UWB one. The basic structure of the UWB antenna consists of a simple square radiating patch and a ground plane with a wide square slot on back of the substrate. A semi-circle sh...

The design and analysis of an ultra wideband aperture antenna with dual-band-notched characteristics are presented. The proposed antenna consists of a circular ring exciting stub on the front side and a circular slot on the back ground plane. By utilizing a parasitic strip and a T-shaped stub on the antenna structure, two notched bands of 850 MHz (3.5-4.35 GHz) and 900 MHz (5.05-5.95 GHz) are a...

A compact multiband Inverted-F Antenna (IFA) for the use in a mobile phone is presented. By adopting a novel folded 3-D structure, a quarter-wave resonator and a parasitic strip, the proposed antenna covers eight bands and exhibits reduced electrical size and low profile. S11 less than −6 dB is obtained in the GSM900, GSM1800, DCS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WLAN5.2, WLAN5.8 and the WiMAX bands. The dim...

In this paper, a multiband antenna is proposed for investigating biological effects of microwaves radiation in 2 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.2 GHz bands to simulate exposure during cellular phone or wireless LAN uses. The antenna realizes localized exposure of a rat head in these frequency bands. Numerical dosimetry result shows good localization for 2 week-old rat model.

In this article, a novel design of multiband microstrip patch antenna has been presented for multiband applications. The Shirt shape antenna is designed on FR-4 substrate and is fed through 50 ohm microstrip feed line. Two l-shape slots are introduced in antenna for size reduction and to provide multiband characteristics while DGS (defected ground structure) is used to achieve bandwidth enhance...

A novel dual-band design of a finite ground coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed monopole antenna is presented for simultaneously satisfying wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) applications. The proposed antenna, comprising a rectangular planar patch element embedded with two L shaped slots and stair shape slot in the middle of the patch elemen...

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...
