Quintuple Band Antenna for Wireless Applications with Small Form Factor

Abstract

A coplanar waveguide-fed quintuple band antenna with a slotted circular-shaped radiator for wireless applications with a high isolation between adjacent bands is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna resonates at multiple frequencies with corresponding center frequencies of 2. 35, 4.92, 5.75, 6.52, and 8.46 GHz. The intended functionality is achieved by introducing a circular disc radiator with five slots and a U-shaped slot in the feed. The proposed antenna exhibits coverage of the maximum set of wireless applications, such as satellite communication, worldwide interoperability for microwave access, wireless local area network (WLAN), long-distance radio telecommunications, and X-band/Satcom wireless applications. The simulation and measurement results of the proposed fabricated antenna demonstrate the high isolation between adjacent bands. A stable realized gain with an advantageous radiation pattern is achieved at the operating frequency bands. The proposed simple design, compact structure, and simple feeding technique make this antenna suitable for integration in several wireless communication applications, where the portability of devices is a significant concern. The proposed antenna is anticipated to be an appropriate candidate for WLAN, long-term evolution, and fifth-generation mobile communication because of its multi-operational bands and compact size for handheld devices.

A Compact Tri-Band Antenna Based on Inverted-L Stubs for Smart Devices

“…Many printed multiband antennas have been developed . In [2][3][4][5][6][7], slots of various shapes were created in a radiator and excited various operating bands. The resonance frequency was controlled by varying the electrical length of the slots.…”

A Multiband Antenna Stacked with Novel Metamaterial SCSRR and CSSRR for WiMAX/WLAN Applications

“…Additionally, these artificially created structures also find applications in microwave and terahertz to construct devices such as integrated sensors, filters, and more [9,10]. The use of metamaterial antenna in improving the performance of the antenna is continuing to evolve rapidly in the present times [11][12][13]. Metamaterials have been found to be attractive candidates for achieving multiband operation due to their exotic properties such as negative refractive index and the possibility of tailoring permittivity and permeability.…”
