Abstract:The paper presents an approach to design a compact wide-band antenna spanning a frequency of 1.5-3.5GHz. This encompasses the upper UMTS, WLAN and GPS bands used by many portable devices. A planar elliptical monopole is first adapted for corner-placement and feed within a device. The primary element is then modified to resemble a quarter ellipse, supported by a large ground plane. Using computer simulations, the resulting structure is confirmed to operate within the 10dB return loss reference from 1.9 to 3.0GH… Show more
