CPW-fed Wideband Antenna with U-shaped Ground Plane

Abstract

This paper proposes the design of CPW-fed wideband antenna with U-shaped ground plane. The proposed antenna is a simple printed antenna, which is fed by a 50Ω CPW line. The Antenna has a compact size of 13mm×25mm. To obtain wide bandwidth, a slot is cut in ground plane and radiating patch is modified. The proposed antenna yields the operating frequency range from 7.3GHz to 15.1GHz, which offers the bandwidth of 7.79GHz. Simulation has been performed by using CST Microwave Studio Software. This frequency range satisfies the system requirements for Narrowband PCS Services, Satellite, Cellular Phone, Domestic Public Land Mobile Communication and International Public Broadcasting applications.

Performance Improvement of U-Slot Microstrip Patch Antenna for RF Portable Devices using Electromagnetic Band Gap and Defected Ground Structure

“…2. (a) The return loss curve of U-slot microstrip patch antenna shown in Fig. 2(a) demonstrates that return loss is -20.2 dB and bandwidth is 155 MHz for the resonating frequency of 6.1 GHz [16]. By modifying the ground plane using circular slots in it, the bandwidth was improved to 202 MHz but the return loss reduced to -17.14 dB as shown in Fig.…”

A Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna for Wireless Communications Operates in Dual Band

“…Microstrip antennas are simple and inexpensive to fabricate using printed circuit board technology. They have extremely low profile and light weight [1]- [2]. They are compatible with microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits, and have the ability to conform to planar and non-planar surfaces.…”
