A compact triple band printed monopole antenna for WiMAX/WLAN applications

Abstract

In this article, a printed monopole antenna for triple band operation is presented. The antenna fed by microstrip structure has a compact size of 33(L)*30(W)*1.6(H) mm³ and a simple structure. The proposed antenna design is described. A prototype has been fabricated and tested. The results are presented which indicate that it is suitable for the 2.5-2.69GHz, 3.4-3.69GHz, and 5.23-5.85GHz WiMAX applications and the 2.4-2.484GHz, 5.15-5.35GHz, and 5.725-5.825GHz WLAN applications.

Low‐cost, low‐profile and miniaturized single‐plane antenna design for an Internet of Thing device applications operating in 5G, 4G, V2X, DSRC, WiFi 6 band, WLAN, and WiMAX communication systems

“…The proposed monopole design is with stable antenna gain and radiation efficiency and is suitable for the 4G LTE operating frequencies in 2300‐5925 MHz with the bands of 7/38/40/41/42/43/46, the 5G operating frequencies in 2500‐5000 MHz with the bands including n7/n38/n41/n77/n78/n79/n257/n258/n260, the V2X, and DSRC band from the IEEE 802.11p based wireless technology in 2500‐5000 MHz, the WiFi 6 band form the IEEE 802.11ax in 5925‐7125 MHz, the WLAN operating frequencies in 2450‐24 835, 5150‐5350, and 5725‐5850 MHz, the WiMAX operating frequencies in 2300‐2690, 3400‐3690, and 5170‐5930 MHz. In Table , comparisons of the proposed antenna with those reported in References on antenna and system ground sizes are listed. It can be seen that the proposed design is very compact and can be embedded in the IoT wireless communication device.…”

“…For the above reasons, the design goals of today's IoT device antennas need to be considered, including sufficient frequency band and bandwidth, simple design and miniaturized size. So far, monopole antenna design with multiband operation technology is an attractive and promising solution, which recently discussed and proposed one of many novel antenna technologies . In Refs.…”

“…Although these designs have good bandwidth coverage characteristics, the antenna area is relatively large. It is stated in the literature, and that these antennas have open slots in the ground plane for multiband operation and are designed for the WLAN 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz and LTE 2300/2500 MHz bands. Moreover, some antenna designs are composed of CPW‐Fed (CPW is coplanar waveguide) structure and radiating rectangular patch, such as references in References and .…”

A high FoM monopole antenna with asymmetrical L‐slots for WiMAX and WLAN applications

“…, six desired bands related to the WiMAX and WLAN are realized by using a toothbrush‐shaped patch, a meander line, and an inverted U‐shaped patch. Recently, a microstrip‐fed monopole antenna for these applications is designed by a fork‐shaped strip with modified rectangular ring and for same application antenna is realized by etching the T‐shape slot with meandered lines on the patch with a resonator in the ground plane …”

“…Furthermore, the antennas performances realized in Refs. such as gain G A , bandwidth BW and area A are separately indicated, which quite often make their comparison cumbersome. Therefore, in this work a new FoM involving G A , BW, and A has been proposed and their performance are compared.…”
