Abstract In this paper a novel, compact, microstrip-fed, quad-band monopole antenna is presented for the application of Global System for Mobile communication (GSM 900), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The proposed antenna comprises of a sickle-shaped structure with four circular arc strips, and a modified rectangular ground plane. The four strips of the antenna are independently responsible for the four different resonant frequencies of the operating bands and can be tuned separately to control the radiation performance. The proposed quad-band antenna is designed to resonate at 940 MHz for GSM 900, 2.5 and 3.5 GHz for… More >

Abstract This article presents a Sub-6 GHz microstrip patch antenna (MPA) with enhanced gain using metamaterial (MTM) superstrate. The source MPA operates at 4.8 GHz and has a peak gain of 5.3 dBi at the resonance frequency. A window-shaped unit cell is designed and investigated through the material wave propagation technique. The unit cell shows an Epsilon Near Zero (ENZ)-Mu Very Large (MVL) behavior around 4.8 GHz. The unit cell has a fourfold geometry which makes it a polarization independent metamaterial. A double layer antenna is designed by placing a 4 × 4 MTM slab as a superstrate above the MPA at a… More >
