This paper introduces the design of a new dual-band internal printed monopole antenna structure as a candidate for WLAN (wireless local area network) USB (universal serial bus) dongle applications. The proposed antenna structure is based on the second iteration of Peanotype space-filling geometry. The antenna has been printed on a substrate with relative permittivity of 2.33 and thickness of 0....

In this paper, we have investigated a printed modified circular disc monopole antenna with cross-shaped slot in radiating patch for UWB applications. The proposed antenna covers the entire UWB band (i.e., 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz) except the frequency band of IEEE 802.11a (i.e., from 5.15GHz to 5.83GHz). This UWB antenna will be of use in environments where IEEE 802.11a WLAN devices are already in ope...

We report a direct write inkjet printing technique for fabricating a flexible antenna on textile for use in smart textile applications such as wearable systems (Rienzo et al. 2006). The complete antenna was deposited entirely using inkjet printing. The inkjet printed antenna is based on a half wavelength dipole antenna offering a planar structure and acceptable size. The printable silver nanopa...

In this paper, a compact UWB printed monopole antenna design is proposed. The monopole antenna has the form of an E-shaped structure printed on a substrate with relative dielectric constant of 3.38, and thickness of 1.52mm. The matching through the UWB response is satisfied using a reduced ground plane. The proposed antenna is fed by a 50 Ω unsymmetrical microstrip line. The ground plane is pri...

In this paper, a compact multiband printed dipole antenna is presented as a candidate for use in wireless communication applications. The proposed fractal antenna design is based on the second level tent transformation. The space-filling property of this fractal geometry permits producing longer lengths in a more compact size. Theoretical performance of this antenna has been calculated using th...

In this article, a printed triangular-shaped monopole antenna is proposed for emerging ultrawideband application. The proposed antenna uses a triangular radiating patch which is directly fed by a 50-X microstrip feed line. To improve the impedance bandwidth, a round-corner ground plane has been used. To further improve the impedance bandwidth for the entire band, a microstrip transition (near t...
