Integrated F‐shaped monopole antenna for 2.4/5.2 GHz dual‐band operation

Abstract

A novel dual‐band F‐shaped monopole antenna is proposed. The antenna comprises a vertical metal line and two (one upper and one lower) horizontal metal lines of different lengths, which are used for tuning the antenna's first two resonant frequencies to achieve desired dual‐band operation. The proposed antenna is very suitable to be printed on a microwave substrate and can be easily integrated with the associated circuitry on the same substrate. A constructed prototype suitable for wireless LAN applications in the 2.4‐ and 5.2‐GHz bands is demonstrated. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Printed S-Shaped Monopole Antenna for Tri-Band WLAN Application

“…By using the tapered folded geometry, the antenna's impedance bandwidths have been greatly enhanced. In literature [5][6][7], a type of interesting printed monopole antennas with the geometry of character letters, such as F-shaped and G-shaped, etc, have been designed for WLAN application. These antennas are composed of two radiating meander strips which are controlled to operating at different bands.…”

Integrated antenna for multiband multi-national wireless combined with GSM1800/PCS1900/IMT2000 + extension

“…Many tradeoffs are commonly made, juggling between parameters. Printed monopoles have been recently proposed as suitable contenders with many variations suggested for dualband operation, including a multibranch technique [1,2] and also the use of F and S shapes [3,4]. The multibranch technique has already been employed with monopoles, using classical groundplanes [5].…”

Optimization of impedance bandwidth for the printed rectangular monopole antenna

“…[2]. Multiband printed monopoles have been reported [3,4] and techniques employed to reduce the lower edge frequency [5]. The printed rectangular antenna described, has been optimised to provide an impedance bandwidth of 1.59GHz to 6.89GHz.…”
