A novel compact design of planar T-shaped monopole antenna with multi-band operation for WLAN/WiMAX system is proposed. By insetting a pair of mirrored L-shaped monopole strips, multi resonant modes close to 2.45/3.5/5.5 GHz band are excited to meet the specifications of WLAN/WiMAX system. And, the obtained impedance bandwidth across the operating bands can reach about 160/1100/2690MHz for the ...

In this paper, a novel compact butterfly shaped printed monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is presented. The proposed antenna is designed with a standard printed circuit board (PCB) process for suitable integration with other microwave components. The antenna prototype is designed then fabricated and tested experimentally. The calculated impedance bandwidth of the proposed a...

Manuscript Received 4-June-2012 and revised 18-September-2012 ISSN: 2322-3936 Accepted on 1December-2012 Abstract—This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN rang...

This paper presents a CPW-fed compact inverted L shaped microstrip antenna for wireless applications. The proposed antenna provides an omni directional radiation pattern and it utilizes the concept of coplanar wave guide (CPW). The main motive is to simplify the structure and to reduce the overall size of the antenna. This is done by loading the inverted L-strip over the conventional monopole p...

A novel design of a CPW fed printed monopole antenna for dual polarization applications is proposed in this paper. The monopole is formed of a rectangular patch embedded with a hour-glass shaped slot. In a modified version of the antenna, an additional spiral shaped slot is incorporated in the ground plane. The overall dimensions of the antenna are kept at 40× 40mm. The impedance bandwidth achi...
