Honarvar, M. Amin, Hamidi, Naeemehsadat and Virdee, Bal Singh (2015) Multiband antenna for portable device applications. Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 57 (4). pp. 956-959. ISSN 0895-2477

Abstract

This article describes a compact planar microstrip antenna for multiband transceiver application. The proposed antenna consists of a combination of E-shaped and C-shaped radiators that are excited via a common microstrip feed-line. Embedded in the ground-plane are included an open- and short-ended slots whose purpose is to enhance the antenna's impedance match and increase the number of bands in which the antenna can operate. A prototype antenna was fabricated on a standard FR4 substrate with εr of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm, and its reflection-coefficient and radiation patterns were measured to demonstrate its feasibility. Measurements confirm the antenna can simultaneously operate over the frequency bands of: DCS (1.71–1.85 GHz), PCS (1.85–1.99 GHz), UMTS (1.92–2.17 GHz), Wibro (2.3–2.39 GHz), WLAN+ Bluetooth (2.4–2.48 MHz), WIMAX (2.5–2.69 GHz), WIMAX (3.3–3.5 GHz), HIPERLAN2 (5.15–5.35/5.47–5.725 GHz), and WLAN (5.15–5.35/5.725–5.825 GHz). The antenna has dimensions of 30 × 40 × 1.6 mm3, which is compatible with the requirements imposed by portable wireless systems.
