A compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed uniplanar antenna with harmonic
suppression characteristics is presented. The above characteristics are achieved by properly
modifying the ground plane and adjusting the signal strip of an open-ended CPW-fed transmission
line. The simulated and experimental characteristics of the antenna are presented, compared,
and discussed.

Abstract:
An electrically small, broadband-modified, truncated
ground metamaterial EZ antenna is presented. This, a modified EZ
antenna system, achieves a larger bandwidth of the order of 650 MHz
by adjusting the metamaterial-inspired meandered ground element fed
by a top loaded monopole. The design is devoid of the large ground
planes and the external parasitic elements used in conventional
designs for achieving proper impedance matching characteristics. The
antenna requires a small foot print of kg/5 3 kg/10, where kg is the
guided wavelength corresponding to the lowest frequency of operation,
when printed on a substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness
1.6 mm. The antenna offers a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth from 750
MHz to 1.4 GHz, which covers CDMA, GSM, and ISM bands

Abstract:
A compact, planar, wideband antenna designed by modifying the coplanar waveguide is presented in this letter. The proposed antenna finds a wide range of applications including advanced wireless systems (AWS), DCS-1800, DCS-1900/PCS/PHS, WiBro, BlueTooth/WLAN/WiBree/ZigBee, DMB, Global Star Satellite Phones, and digital cordless phones. Wide bandwidth > 75% centered at 2.50 GHz, quasi-omnidirectional radiation coverage along with moderate gain and efficiency are the salient features of the antenna. A prototype fabricated on a substrate with dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness 1.6 mm occupies an area of (31times 64) mm2. Details of antenna design and discussions on the effect of various antenna parameters on the radiation characteristics are presented.
