This paper presents a new circular polarized micro-strip antenna with a pentagonal shape radiator. The proposed antenna is designed to operate in the industrial scientific medical (ISM) band at the frequency of 2.45GHz for Wireless applications. The antenna consists of a radiating pentagon patch with appropriate dimensions on the upper side of a dielectric substrate and a defective ground structure (DGS) on the other side. The pentagon patch is fed through a 50Ω microstrip line. The structure is implemented on an FR-4 substrate with a relative permittivity of 4.4, loss tangent equal to 0.025 and thickness 1.58 mm. The antenna is designed and simulated by using advanced design system (ADS) electromagnetic solver and the achieved results are validated by using another electromagnetic solver. The simulation results indicate that the designed circularly polarized (CP) pentagonal microstrip patch antenna gives good results in terms of the reflection coefficient, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and, axial ratio of 1.025 at 2.45 GHz.

The requirement for applications operating at a variety of frequencies in a unified wireless device has greatly enhanced in recent years. For this purpose, multi-functional wireless components are essential. This paper presents a new design of a wideband circularly-polarized microstrip antenna array with defected ground structure (DGS). A previous design was introduced which cover the C-band at 5.8 GHz and operates in the industrial scientific medical (ISM) band for wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna has excellent performances which include good input impedance matching with a fed of the circular polarization at 5.8 GHz. The proposed design is validated and optimized by adding a new design of defected ground structure. This aperture geometry enables the antenna to operate in a wideband. The obtained results show that the modified antenna has a good performance in terms of return loss, bandwidth, gain and radiation pattern and demonstrate that the proposed antenna offers a good solution for multi-standard wireless communication applications.

The demand for multi-functional components has increased enormously in recent years. Advances in integrated technology have enabled researchers to adapt diverse applications operating at different frequencies in a single wireless device. A compact broadband coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed square aperture monopole antenna with inverted-L grounded strips is first described. The proposed antenna has a small size of 60×60×0.74 mm3 and has excellent performances which include a good input impedance matching with a much wider operating bandwidth, an excitation of the circular polarization at 2.45 GHz, and a stable omnidirectional radiation pattern. Then, a multiband reconfigurable antenna design is developed from this structure. The frequency reconfigurable approach is obtained using a varactor diode. In this work, it is observed that frequency diversity can be obtained by varying the value of the capacity by leaving the dimensions antenna unchanged. The results are given using CST microwave studio and show good performances in terms of return loss, bandwidth, gain and radiation pattern and demonstrate that the proposed antenna offers a reconfigurable solution for multi-standard wireless communication applications.
