Abstract
A novel single layer, microstrip line fed compact wideband monopole antenna using open loop resonator has been designed and analyzed. The proposed antenna occupies a compact size of only 30 36.5 1.6 mm3. A partial ground plane is employed to enhance the operating bandwidth and reflection coefficient of the proposed antenna. The variations in operating bandwidth of the proposed antenna can be easily controlled by properly adjusting the position of the gap in the open loop resonator.The antenna prototype is fabricated on FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant 4.2. In this design, the antenna exhibits 10dB wide impedance bandwidth of 61% from 2.0174 to 3.7903 GHz.The antenna can be easily fed using a 50 Ω microstrip feed line and it covers the bandwidth requirements of a number of modern wireless communication systems such as IEEE 502.11b WLAN band (2.4 2.5 GHz), extended UMTS (2.5 2.69 GHz), IMT (2.7 2.9 GHz), and IEEE 802.16 Wi MAX band (3.3 3.6 GHz) applications. The desired antenna is designed and simulated using Computer Simulation Technology (CST). An extensive analysis of the antenna parameters (reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, directivity, and VSWR) including surface current distributions is presented and discussed in this paper. Good agreement between simulated and measured result is obtained.
Highlights
The wireless communication systems have been developed widely and rapidly during the last decade with an increasing demand for higher data rate and large bandwidth
The design of the compact, efficient and light weight antennas have become a major challenge for the researchers of the antenna community.The microstrip patch antennas are likely to be preferred for their well-known attractive features like the small size, light weight, inexpensive to manufacture using printed circuit technology and compatibility with MMIC designs
The increasing demands for wireless connectivity challenge the design of a single antenna that can cover the bandwidth requirement of several allocated wireless frequency bands for WLAN, IMT, UMTS, WiMAX etc
Summary
The wireless communication systems have been developed widely and rapidly during the last decade with an increasing demand for higher data rate and large bandwidth. The demand for small antennas has been increased due to the miniaturization of the wireless pieces of equipment [1,2]. The increasing demands for wireless connectivity challenge the design of a single antenna that can cover the bandwidth requirement of several allocated wireless frequency bands for WLAN, IMT, UMTS, WiMAX etc. The major problem of the microstrip patch antenna is its narrow bandwidth. The conventional microstrip patch antenna suffers from narrow impedance bandwidth (2-4%) problem [5]. Bandwidth enhancement of microstrip patch antenna has become another
