Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this paper, an effort is made to explore the possibility of utilizing stepped impedance concept in designing dual-band PCB monopole antenna. To start with, a rigorous analysis of stepped impedance resonator is performed using transmission line equations. It is followed by modeling of PCB monopole antenna using transmission line, so as to facilitate the application of stepped impedance concept. The design procedure using explicit analytical equations is lucidly expressed as a “High Five” procedure. This design procedure yields an initial design which is very close to desired specifications. A straight forward two-step tuning procedure when applied to this initial design, results in the desired dual-band PCB monopole antenna. The dual-band antenna requires only three electro-magnetic simulations and hence is highly resource efficient. As a proof of concept, a dual-band stepped impedance PCB monopole antenna at popular ISM bands namely 2.45 and 5.80 GHz is designed and realized on FR4 PCB using the proposed methodology.
