A multiband film type inverted F‐antenna for GSM, DCS, PCS, USPCS, and WCDMA bands

Abstract

A novel and simple design of a film type inverted F‐antenna for global system for mobile (GSM), digital cellular system (DCS), personal communication system (PCS), US personal communication system (USPCS), and wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) bands is proposed. The obtained impedance bandwidths reached 87 (880–967) MHz and 451 (1710–2162) MHz in the GSM, DCS, PCS, USPCS, and WCDMA bands. For multiband operation, a modified meander line structure with L‐shaped short pin was used. The measured peak antenna gains for the operating frequencies were 3.18–4.24 dBi. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

CSRR‐based compact penta band printed antenna for GPS/GSM/WLAN/WiMAX applications

“…This can be accomplished using multiple radiating branches , creating slots in the patch , in the ground plane , meandering monopoles , creating fractal shapes , or using metamaterial inspired structures‐like split ring resonators and complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) . Many multiband antennas suitable for various wireless applications such as GSM, DCS, PCS, UMTS, WLAN, and WiMAX are reported in the literature . However, they lack compact size and the ability to cover all the necessary bands, specifically lower band such as GPS 1.57 GHz.…”

Soft computing techniques on multiresonant antenna synthesis and analysis

“…The progress in wireless communication, biomedical technologies, and mobile applications generates a vast and rapid demand for multiband performance antennas . Multiband characteristics can be achieved using various techniques such as placing a half wavelength shorted stub or quarter wavelength open circuit stub on the patch edges .…”
