Dual band monopole antenna for wireless communication system

A dual band monopole antenna for Wireless local area network (WLAN) communication system is presented. The antenna has been designed with two meander branch monopole elements and the rectangular ground structure with simple configuration. The first branch is optimized by using a quarter wavelength of desired resonance frequency at 2.45 GHz. Meanwhile, additional branch of second branch brings resonance frequency of 5.8 GHz. This can easily suited by using 50 ohm probe feed with SMA connector. The proposed antenna is simulated by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software in order to simulate the return loss, bandwidth, gain, directivity, surface current and radiation pattern. The impedance bandwidth for return loss less than - 10 dB is 284 MHz and 267 MHz for first and second resonance frequency. In fact, second resonance can be adjusted by modifying the second branch length, LB1 with little effect on the first resonance.

Dual-Band Copper Rod Monopole Antenna for Wireless Communication System

In this paper, a dual-band copper rod monopole antenna for a wireless communication system is initiated. The antenna has been designed based on meander line technique using the monopole rod elements and rectangular ground structure. Each element of meander lines was designed with a half wavelength to radiate at a frequency of 2.4 and 5.8 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application. The proposed antenna was designed and simulated by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software. The bandwidth of reflection coefficient of less than −10 dB could be observed at (f1–f2) 331 MHz and (f1–f2) 358 MHz for Design A. Then, the additional cone and inverse-cone shape reflector shifted the frequency to the left from the 2.4 GHz band and to the right at 5.8 GHz band. The desired frequency could be obtained by adjusting the size of the copper reflector.

Design multiband planar printed monopole antenna with Minkowski and Lollipop defected parasitic structure (DPS) for wireless communication system

A multiband planar printed monopole antenna with Minkowski and Lollipop defected parasitic structure (DPS) for wireless communication system is proposed. The proposed antenna can create and work effectively to covers triband resonance frequencies at 2.4, 3.6 and 5.8 GHz within WLAN/WiMAX range in wireless communication system application. The Minkowski and Lollipop DPS has been place in front of and back of the multiband antenna that easily fed by using a 50 Ω microstrip line. The parametric study has been performed to analyze the best range of DPS from the proposed antenna. The simulated and measured impedance bandwidths for 10 dB return loss at first, second and third operating bands can be seen at (135 and 456) MHz, (380 and 272) MHz and (198 and 283) MHz respectively. The additional DPS helps to improve the return loss, bandwidth, gain, directivity. The simulation and measurement performance are well compared and discussed.

Investigation of MultiSlot and Stacked Layer on Dual Band Printed Dipole Antenna

In this paper, the investigation of multislot and stacked layer on dual band dipole antenna is presented. The effect of the stack on dipole and a slot dipole with a stacked antenna was looked into for different types of slots. Three slots were focused in this paper, which were H-slot, T-slot, and U-slot. All the designs were designed and were simulated using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software. The investigation was done on the return loss and the radiation patterns of the dipole antennas based on the effect of different types of slots. The simulation results showed that the multislot and stacked layers improved the efficiency and the bandwidth of the basic dipole antenna at 5.8 GHz.
