A compact Co-Planar Waveguide (CPW) fed antenna operating at 2.4GHz with 300MHz 2:1 VSWR
bandwidth is presented. Compared to a conventional quarter wavelength CPW fed monopole antenna, the aperture
area reduction of the present antenna is 85%. The prototype antenna fabricated on a substrate of εr = 4.4 and
thickness 1.6mm is only 22x10x1.6mm3. This much size reduction and impedance matching is achieved by
adjusting the signal to ground plane separation and meandering the ground plane of a 50Ω CPW transmission line

Abstract:
A printed compact coplanar waveguide fed triangular slot antenna for ultra wide band (UWB) communication
systems is presented. The antenna comprises of a triangular slot loaded ground plane with a T
shaped strip radiator to enhance the bandwidth and radiation. This compact antenna has a dimension
of 26mm×26mm when printed on a substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness 1.6mm. Design
equations are implemented and validated for different substrates. The pulse distortion is insignificant
and is verified by the measured antenna performance with high signal fidelity and virtually steady group
delay. The simulation and experiment reveal that the proposed antenna exhibits good impedance match,
stable radiation patterns and constant gain and group delay over the entire operating band
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:
A compact dual-band printed antenna covering the 2.4 GHz (2400-2485 MHz) and 5.2 GHz (5150-5350 MHz) WLAN bands is presented. The experimental analysis shows a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of up to 32 and 8% for 2.4 and 5.2 GHz, respectively. The measured radiation patterns are nearly omnidirectional, with moderate gain in both the WLAN bands.
A compact, dual band coplanar waveguide fed modified T-shaped uniplanar antenna is presented. The antenna has resonances at 1.77 and 5.54 GHz with a wide band from 1.47–1.97 GHz and from 5.13–6.48 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 34% and 26%, respectively. Also the antenna has an average gain of 3 dBi in lower band and 3.5 dBi in higher band with an average efficiency of 90%.
Design of a compact dual frequency microstrip antenna
is presented. The structure consists of a slotted circular patch with
a dielectric superstrate. The superstrate,not only acts as a radome,
but improves the bandwidth and lowers the resonant frequency also.
The proposed design provides an overall size reduction of about 60%
compared to an unslotted patch along with good efficiency,gain
and bandwidth. The polarization planes at the two resonances are
orthogonal and can be simultaneously excited using a coaxial feed.
Parametric study of this configuration showed that the frequency ratio
of the two resonances can be varied from 1.17 to 1.7 enabling its
applications in the major wireless communication bands like AWS,
DECT,PHS,Wi.Bro, ISM,and DMB. Design equations are also
deduced for the proposed antenna and validated.
