Abstract:
A method for simultaneously enhancing the bandwidth
and reducing the size of microstrip antennas (MSAs) using a modified
ground plane (GP) has been proposed with design formulas. A combshaped
truncated GP is used for this purpose. This method provides an
overall compactness up to 85% for proximity-coupled MSAs in the
frequency range of 900 MHz–5.5 GHz with an improvement inbandwidth up to seven times when compared with the conventional ones

Abstract:
A planar monopole antenna suitable for broadband wireless communication is designed and developed. With the use of a truncated ground plane, the proposed printed monopole antenna offers nearly 60% 2:1 VSWR bandwidth and good radiation characteristics for the frequencies across the operating band. A parametric study of the antenna is performed based on the optimized design, and a prototype of the antenna suitable for 2.4-GHz WLAN application is presented. The antenna can be easily integrated into wireless circuitry and is convenient for application in laptop computers.
