Abstract
A new wide-band high-efficiency coplanar waveguide-fed printed loop antenna is presented for wireless communication systems in this paper. By adjusting geometrical parameters, the proposed antenna can easily achieve a wide bandwidth. To optimize the antenna performances, a parametric study was conducted with the aid of a commercial software, and based on the optimized geometry, a prototype was designed, fabricated, and tested. The simulated and measured results confirmed that the proposed antenna can operate at (1.68-2.68 GHz) band and at (1.46-2.6 GHz) band with bandwidth of 1 and 1.14 GHz, respectively. Moreover, the antenna has a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern with a reasonable gain and high efficiency. Due to the above characteristics, the proposed antenna is very suitable for applications in PCS and IMT2000 systems.
