A novel heart‐shaped monopole antenna for UWB and RFID applications

Abstract

In this article, a heart‐shaped monopole antenna with wide bandwidth is proposed, which is composed of a heart‐shaped monopole patch and two rectangular ground plane, both of the structures are printed on the same side of a substrate and fed by a coplanar waveguide. The simulated and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed antenna performance is not only suitable for ultra wideband applications but also for radio‐frequency identification systems, the impedance bandwidth can be achieved from 2.1 to 11.5 GHz (S11<−10 dB), more than 110%. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Broken-heart shaped microstrip patch antenna design for ultra-wideband applications

“…A novel broken heart shape antenna with a compact dimension of 30 × 18 × 1.60 mm 3 only is proposed in this article, which is significantly smaller than the antenna presented in Refs. . The result shows that the proposed antenna achieves a bandwidth from 2.90 GHz to 10.70 GHz, which can be used for the UWB applications.…”

“…Reported in Ref. , a heart shape antenna covers the bandwidth from 2.1 to 11.5 GHz having a larger dimension of 35 × 30 × 1.00 mm 3 . A tapered shape antenna has been noted in Ref.…”

A pattern reconfigurable patch antenna using switched loop structure

“…Nowadays, the demand for a new antenna technology to satisfy growing various wireless communication services and systems has been rapidly [1–4]. In particular, reconfigurable antennas have been studied a lot to overcome the problem of limited antenna performance [5–7].…”

A Novel Triple-Band Monopole Antenna for WLAN/WiMAX/RFID Applications

“…With the rapid development of wireless communication, the multifrequency antenna has become one of the most important devices and attracted much interest. Recently, some schemes about printed antennas for RFID applications have been reported [1][2][3]. A few antenna designs suitable for the applications of both WLAN and WiMAX have been reported [4][5][6][7].…”
