“…Compared to the reported antenna in [12], the proposed antenna features much smaller size and wider bandwidth. Also, in contrast to the antenna presented in [13], the proposed antenna has a smaller size as well as good far-field radiation patterns. According to the obtained results in both frequency and time domain, the proposed QSCA is especially suitable for utilize in wireless communication systems.…”

This article describes a new miniaturized omni-directional antenna with quasi-self-complementary structure for wireless communication applications. A novel ground structure composed of five rectangular plates is proposed to enhance the impedance bandwidth and reduce the antenna size. The proposed antenna is comprised of two patches surrounded by the ground structure. Two metal patches of the antenna are located on two opposite sides of the dielectric substrate. The feed patch is used to excite the radiation patch. This unique design is realized by properly choosing the suitable feed patch shape, selecting similar slot shape on the radiation patch, and tuning their dimensions. The proposed antenna with an extremely small size of 6 mm × 9 mm has an operating impedance bandwidth ranging from 4.5 to 6.1 GHz for S11 < −10 dB, which also covers the two IEEE 802.11a wireless local area network bands (5.15-5.35 GHz and 5.725-5.825 GHz). In addition to be very small in size, the antenna exhibits omni-directional radiation patterns in the entire operating bandwidth and low cross polarization. The distortionless time domain performance of the antenna is confirmed by investigation of the phase response and group delay. The obtained results in both frequency and time domain show that the proposed antenna is suitable for use in wireless communication systems.

“…In [12], a uniplanar QSCA printed on a FR4 substrate with dual-band operation in the 2.4/5.2 GHz for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications is proposed. An UWB microstrip linefeed QSCA with frequency notch at 5.5 GHz is proposed in [13]. It has a small size of 16 mm × 25 mm and reasonable radiation pattern.…”
