In this review article, different structures of monopole antennas based on metamaterial concepts which have been developed for various wireless applications are presented. The antennas designed for wireless applications must be broad band, low profile, small size and have better performance. Monopole antennas embedded with Artificial magnetic conductors (AMC), Electromagnetic band gap structure...

This paper proposes a bandwidth-eecient fading-resistant transmission scheme which implements transmitter diversity using L antennas at the base station. When the antennas are spaced suuciently far apart, the transmission from each antenna undergoes a diierent degree of fading. These transmissions are coordinated to mitigate the eeects of Rayleigh fading and the mobile receiver can recover the ...

In this paper, we have investigated printed rectangular monopole antennas, which is basically a printed microstrip antenna with etched ground plane for multi-band applications. In particular, we have fabricated and tested printed rectangular monopole antennas for dual-band and penta-band applications. It has been observed that printed rectangular monopole antennas are small in size and simple i...

Systems generally require wireless communication antennas able to operate in different frequency ranges to meet different communication protocols [3]-[5], this can be done using broadband antennas and multi-band but these are large and difficult to integrate into small mobile devices. This concern with frequency agility is also the need to increase the directivity of the antenna; we proceed to ...

It was shown by numerous authors that the characterization of RFID (radio-frequency identification) transponder antennas that are favored to be small, have low gain, and show a strongly reactive input impedance, is far from trivial. We propose a method that utilizes a small, highly-stable, battery-driven signal source to generate the transmit signal directly at the antenna. The signal source is...

analysis of aperture-coupled microstrip antennas with a superstrate using space domain closed form greens functions is presented. integral equations are derived from applying the boundary conditions on the radiating patch, across the aperture, and on the microstrip feedline. the computation of space domain greens functions is performed using the closed-form. the solution of the integral equatio...

Mobile communication have become an important part of telecommunications. Original applications like paging, mobile phones or GPS have shown a tremendous growth, and new applications are emerging every day: tagging, wireless computer links, wireless microphones, remote control, wireless multimedia links, satellite mobile phones, wireless internet. Mobile means light, small, with low energy cons...

One of the advantages of microstrip patches over conventional antennas is their small size. However, there are many present day applications where even these small radiators are too large. Conventional microstrip antennas assume infinitely large ground plane dimensions and thus they are large in size. The size of ground plane is the limitation of antenna characteristics and compactness. In this...
