Wideband low-profile monopole antenna for mobile and wireless monitoring applications

Abstract

International audienceA compact wideband monopole antenna for mobile and wireless monitoring applications is presented. The proposed antenna will be implemented in a wireless system devoted to remote monitoring water and wastewater applications. The antenna is mainly designed to operate within the frequency range of 700-2700 MHz covering different mobile and wireless frequency bands with a return loss less than -6dB. Omnidirectional radiation pattern and improved radiation performances are very suitable. An optimization process based on global algorithm has been used to achieve the design goals. The design of the proposed antenna is carried out using optimization and simulation tools of full-wave electromagnetic simulation software. A prototype of the proposed antenna was manufactured and tested in order to verify the performances of the antenna including in the real environment conditions. © 2016 European Association of Antennas and Propagation

Gain Enhancement of Slot Antenna Using Grooved Structure and FSS Layer

“…The real-time monitoring of water (and/or wastewater) may enable a rapid intervention in the case of sewage overflows, preserve rivers and lakes from any contamination, prevent flooding, etc. [3]. The antenna design for a modern radar system at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies is a critical and challenging task which needs a strong expertise and a special attention [2][3][4].…”

“…[3]. The antenna design for a modern radar system at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies is a critical and challenging task which needs a strong expertise and a special attention [2][3][4]. High gain, high directivity, and reduced size are the most suitable features in a microwave and millimeter-wave antenna for modern radar systems.…”
