A Microstrip Monopole Antenna with C-shaped Patch for Multiband Applications

Abstract

In this study, a monopole antenna based on C-shaped microstrip patch for multiband applications has been presented. The projected antenna uses FR-4 substrate and reduced ground plane (defected ground plane) with a compact size of 14 mm × 24 mm. Reception tools parameters have been encoded and inserted by means of CST electromagnetic software package. The simulation consequences of the proposed antenna in terms of S11 responses, gain and radiation patterns are appropriate for Wi MAX, C-band, and WLAN applications for recent communication systems.
