Design of CPW antenna for network applications

Abstract

The novel CPW antenna design consists of monopole, which can used for High speed wide area or local area corporate networks and Video & CCTV surveillance networks and Long-range Rural connectivity. This antenna has been designed with design size parameters of 59.5(L) x 30 (W) x 1.6-(H) mm2, the dielectric constant of FR4 substrate is 4.4, and loss tangent of 0.002 is used. The resonant frequency range of this proposed antenna is 5.85 - 6.6 GHz with return loss above of -10dB achieved. The peak gain of this antenna is 5.5dBi and in addition the S, Z-parameters, VSWR, 2D & 3D radiation pattern are also derived. Good results are achieved after simulation.
