A Broadband CPW-FED Slot Antenna for IMT-2000, WIMAX and WLAN Applications

Abstract: In this paper, a broadband CPW-fed slot antenna with a gradual-changed ground plane for bandwidth enhancement is proposed and experimentally studied. The effect of various shapes of the slot on broadband operation is investigated. From the experimental results, the measured impedance bandwidth, defined by 10 dB return loss, could be as large as 3.75 GHz or about 105% centered at about 3.56 GHz. The antenna radiation patterns within the operation band were also measured and studied.

“…Recently, slot antennas played an important role in wireless technology, because the slot antennas had the advantages of low cost, light weight, easy realization, less conductor loss, and better isolation between the radiating element and feeding network. In the past, the designs of related dual‐, multi, and wideband wide‐slot antennas had been presented using the structures of stripline [1], pattern‐frequency‐dependent [2], asymmetrical CPW grounds [3], elliptical slot [4], Koch fractal slot [5], T‐shaped slot [6], and triangular slot [7]. Owing to the designed broadband (2–6 GHz) wide‐slot antenna, there exist some narrow bands used by WiMAX system operating in the 2.15–2.69/3.4–4.2/4.9–5.85 GHz bands and WLAN in the 2.4–2.484/5.15–5.825 GHz bands.…”

“…The rapid increase in demand for telecommunications capabilities in recent years has produced a rapid growth in the number of mobile systems, such as DCS, IMT-2000, SDAR, WLANs, LTE and Hiper-LAN with the operating bands of these technologies distributed at 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 2.6 GHz, 5.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz, respectively. The CPW-fed circular or rectangular slot antenna with circular polarization has been widely used in practical designs [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Various techniques for improving the circular polarization bandwidth have been proposed, such as by embedding an arc slot beside the spiral slots, varying the turn number of the spiral slots, and changing the separation between the arc slot and the spiral slots [14].…”

“…In order to satisfy the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards in the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz operating bands and the WiMAX standards in the 2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz bands, multiband antennas with large impedance bandwidth and excellent radiation characteristic are required. For this, many promising dualor multiband antennas for WLAN/WiMAX applications such as the meander antennas [1][2][3], the slot antennas [4][5][6], the ring patch antennas [7,8], and the planar inverted-F antennas (PIFAs) [9][10][11] have been studied. However, most of them are either complex in physical structure or large in overall size for practical applications.…”
