Multi-Band Printed Antenna for Portable Wireless Communication Applications

Abstract

A compact, triple-band (WiMAX, WLAN and X-Band uplink satellite communication) monopole antenna is reported in this paper. The geometry of the proposed antenna consists of a pentagon-shaped patch along with symmetrical hook-shaped resonators and one vertical slot. The reported antenna works at three unique frequencies centered at 3.5 GHz, 5.4 GHz, and 8 GHz, covering absolute bandwidth of 900 MHz (3.2-4.1 GHz), 800 MHz (5.1-5.9 GHz), and 1.6 GHz (7.3-8.9 GHz), respectively. This antenna possesses good gain and high efficiency at all operating bands. The presented antenna has simulated gain (efficiency) of 4 dBi (78%), 4.2 dBi (79.95%), and 4.2 dBi (85.8%) at 3.5, 5.4, and 8 GHz, respectively. The operating bands of the presented antenna can be tuned independently by varying certain correlated parameters. All the simulations are carried out using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS 13.0). The hardware of the simulated antenna is successfully constructed and tested for validation of simulation results. A reasonable match between the simulated and measured results is observed at the operating bands.

Design of Three-band Two-port MIMO Antenna for 5G and Future 6G Applications Based on Fence-shaped Decoupling Structure

“…A compact monopole antenna with a pentagon-shaped patch, symmetrical hook-shaped resonators, and one vertical slot was already described with the claim that it could be used for many communication modes and could operate at three frequencies (e.g., 3.5 GHz, 5.4 GHz, and 8 GHz). It was found that the antenna was useful for Bluetooth, WLAN, and WiMAX applications [4]. Furthermore, a microstrip patch antenna with a hexagon shape was also demonstrated to support more modes [5].…”

Design of dual band slotted reconfigurable antenna using electronic switching circuit

“…Configurable antennas, in particular, are under the spotlight of researchers with interest in electromagnetic spectrum usage. These antennas can be implemented using a variety of technologies, and the most trending type is the microstrip antennas justified by their low profile, light weight as well as their ability to produce multiple radiation bands [1]- [3]. The rising number of wireless devices is causing spectrum congestion which may increase collisions in the broadcasting channels.…”
