This paper presents a study of a novel monopole antenna for ultra wide-band (UWB) applications. Printed on a dielectric substrate and fed by a 50 Ω micro strip line, a planar circular disc monopole has been demonstrated to provide an ultra wide 10 dB return loss bandwidth with satisfactory radiation properties. The parameters which affect the performance of the antenna in terms of its frequency...

A practical normal-mode helical antenna array together with a new method for the compensation of mutual coupling effect is proposed for the efficient adaptive nulling of interferences in a mobile communication environment. The helical antenna array is shown to be able to generate deeper nulls than an equivalent monopole antenna array in the presence of mutual coupling effect. The helical antenn...

A method to reduce the specific absorption rate(SAR) of the antenna for WiMAX mobile communication is proposed in this paper. The SAR reduction is achieved by miniaturizing the physical size of the antenna for the given resonance frequency by devising a metamaterial-composite rightand left-handed(CRLH) configuration-based radiator much smaller than the quarter-guided wavelength adopted a lot in...

This paper presents a modal-expansion analysis of the electromagnetically coupled coaxial dipole antenna. The analysis of the antenna problem is initially simplified using the even-odd mode excitation and then the resultant half structure is divided into two parts; one is the characterization of a coaxial feeding network and the other is the modeling of a sleeve monopole antenna driven by a coa...

A coplanar wave guide (CPW) fed printed monopole antenna with reduced radiation hazard for mobile handset is presented. The antenna offers a bandwidth of 150MHz when printed on a substrate of dielectric constant (εr) 4.4 and thickness 1.6mm with an overall dimension of 0.41λg X 0.31λg.The printed metal strip in the back side of the monopole modifies the radiation pattern suitable for mobile han...

Abstract— The radiation characteristics of two kinds of antennas made of transparent conductive films are investigated: a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) and a monopole antenna. These antennas are designed to work at 2.4 GHz and their performances are compared with each other for several films with different sheet resistivities. Wire-grid models based on the moment method are applied for the n...

A new low profile and broadband monopolar patch antenna is proposed. Generally monopolar patch antennas are built using circular or square patches to obtain the required radiation pattern but these antennas have low gain in the horizontal plane. Rectangular patch antennas have been designed for high gain but they have broadside radiation pattern. We propose a low profile patch antenna with wide...

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....

A novel monopole asymmetric fractal micro strip antenna is designed and analyzed in this paper. The proposed Koch fractal monopole antenna is resonating at triband with circular polarization operation. Five diff structures without slot (basic model), single slot (Iteration 1), double slotted (Iteration 2), triple slotted (Iteration 3), and optimized fractal slot (Iteration 4) are studied for ci...
