Analysis of a modified Sierpinski gasket monopole antenna printed on dual band wireless devices

The traditional Sierpinski gasket monopole antenna is well known for its multiband behavior, but it cannot be printed on the circuit board of a portable wireless device due to the limited space availability. In this paper a modified Sierpinski gasket monopole antenna is presented that possesses a small physical size, high efficiency and the ability to allocate both the 2.4 and 5.2 GHz Industrial Scientific and Medical bands without the need of a matching network. The modified element respects the multiband behavior of the gasket since the input impedance characteristics of the upper bands maintain their symmetry. Several modification techniques are proposed making the monopole very flexible in terms of band allocation and fine-tuning. The dimensions of the ground plane are also proven to play a significant role on the operational bandwidth of the antenna system.

Narrow and wide band monopole antenna design using heterogeneous bidirectional recurrent neural network for LTE and UWB applications

The proposed antenna is a small wideband monopole with wideband circular polarization using heterogeneous bidirectional recurrent neural network for both narrow and wide band applications (NWB-MAD-HBRNN). The electromagnetic structure is designed, fabricated, and simulated with 1 mm thickness on FR4 substrate material along dielectric constant 4.3. The proposed antenna includes 4.3–8.85 GHz for ultrawideband applications; it contains reconfigurable narrow band for L-band 1.27 GHz, LTE, and ultrawideband applications. To enhance the antenna impedance bandwidth (BW) along axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW), a slit is etched at the antenna patch, a rectangular stub is inserted into the ground plane, and semicircular stub is added to the top of antenna feed line. The better agreement is observed in the measured and simulated gain performance of 4.8 dB for LTE band applications. The proposed NWB-MAD-HBRNN design provides 13.50%, 18.91%, and 22.58% higher bandwidth and 18.36%, 20.38%, and 27.58% lower return loss than the existing designs, such as bio-inspired wideband antenna for wireless applications based on perturbation technique (BWA-WA-PA), a compact circularly polarized modified printed monopole antenna for wireless applications (CCP-MPMA-WA), and new multiband monopole antenna for certain broadband wireless applications along wireless personal communications (PA-MMA-BWA), respectively.     

Wideband to narrowband/dual band characteristics of monopole antenna using frequency selective surfaces

A monopole antenna having desirable transmission characteristics with high gain is proposed. The monopole antenna comprises 45° tilted square shaped patch and modified rectangular metallic ground plane on FR4 dielectric substrate. The proposed monopole antenna operates from 2.6 GHz to 9.7 GHz with maximum peak gain of 2.3 dBi. Now, a dual-layer aperture-type FSS is designed having a passband from 5.9 GHz to 9.2 GHz and incorporated with the proposed monopole antenna. Thus, the combination only covers the selective frequency band from 5.5 GHz to 8.7 GHz with a stable gain of around 5 dBi. Second, another FSS is designed, which has one stop-band from 4.1 GHz to 5.4 GHz and two passbands on the both sides of this stop-band. This combination does not work from 4.1 GHz to 5.5 GHz but covers dual band from 2.48 GHz to 3.3 GHz with a peak gain of 5 dBi and 5.5 GHz to 10 GHz with a peak gain of 5.5 dBi. Therefore, without modifying the antenna design, any tunable transmission band can be achieved by the proposed combination. The proposed antenna and FSS combination structure may be suitable for military wireless applications for its band selection characteristics.     

Multi-band modified fork-shaped microstrip monopole antenna with ground plane including dual-triangle portion

A modified fork-shaped microstrip monopole antenna with the ground plane including a dual-triangle portion is studied experimentally to obtain a large bandwidth and a multi-band characteristic. In this case, the ground plane including a dual-triangle portion leads to improving the impedance matching for a lower band. Although the use of a high relative permittivity (/spl epsiv//sub r/=4.3) substrate usually restricts the operation bandwidth, the radiation resistance also was a low value. The 2.0 VSWR impedance bandwidth is 29.8% (731-987 MHz) for a lower band, and 90.2% (1498-3080 MHz) for a higher band operation. This single-layer microstrip monopole antenna also retains a low and a thin profile characteristic.

Integrated design of filtering antenna with high selectivity and improved performance for L-band applications

An integrated design of compact filtering antenna having high selectivity and suppressed unwanted harmonics is proposed in this paper. The proposed filtering antenna is obtained by integrating a modified elliptic-shaped monopole antenna with a modified interdigital bandpass filter (IBPF). At first, a modified elliptic-shaped monopole antenna is designed and investigated through numerical simulation and experimentally. Further, the modified IBPF reported in the literature is integrated with the proposed monopole antenna to achieve good passband selectivity and suppressed unwanted harmonics for the proposed filtering antenna. The proposed filtering antenna is analysed through numerical simulation software. The simulated −10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth of the proposed filtering antenna covers the frequency range 1.01–1.96 GHz with improved band-edge selectivity and unwanted harmonic suppression up to 8 GHz (= 5.4 f₀, where f₀ is the centre frequency of passband). It has nearly stable omnidirectional radiation patterns over the whole frequency band. The proposed filtering antenna was fabricated and experimentally tested. The experimental results are nearly in agreement with corresponding numerical simulation results. The proposed filtering antenna can be a suitable candidate for various L-band wireless communication applications.
