⎯The handheld terminals antenna should have a small size, sufficient gain and big bandwidth. In this paper, a compact planar inverted-L diversity antenna for handheld terminals is proposed. Three diversity antennas operating at 2.15 GHz are designed and the effect of important parameters of the proposed antenna is measured. The isolation is found to be better than 13 dB, the usable bandwidth is...

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 reconfigurable antenna with an omnidirectional mode and four directional modes is proposed. The antenna has a main radiator and four parasitic elements printed on a dielectric substrate. By changing the status of diodes soldered on the parasitic elements, the proposed antenna can generate four directional radiation patterns and one omnidirectional radiation pattern. The main beam dire...

There has been a flourishing prospect of UWB technology in recent years in both communication and other purposes like microwave imaging and radar applications. Recent studies of UWB antenna structures are specially concentrated on microstrip [1], slot and planar monopole antennas [2]. In this work, a small monopole antenna with diamond shape of the patch (30 x 26 mm2) printed microstrip fed mon...

The aim of antenna array synthesis is to achieve a desired radiation pattern with the minimum number of antenna elements. In this paper the antenna synthesis problem is studied from a totally new perspective. One of the key principles of compressive sensing is that the signal to be sensed should be sparse or compressible. This coincides with the requirement of minimum number of element in the a...

The microstrip patch is one of the most preferred antenna structures for ofordable and compact design for wireless system and RF applications. This paper compares the rectangular patch antenna and equilateral triangular microstrip antenna in terms of their return losses and radiation pattern. For the comparative study the Ansoft HFSS V11 is used. Keywords— rectangular micro strip antenna, retur...
