Abstract

This research work presents a microstrip-fed antenna that is small, low-profile, planar, and suitable for WLAN/WiMAX and partially ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The radiating element of the proposed antenna consists of rectangular-shaped ring embedded with a three inverted “S”-shaped and inverted “C”-shaped strips. This antenna is capable of generating penta bands having good impedance matching with wideband characteristics. Prototype of the proposed antenna has been designed, simulated, fabricated, and tested. The overall small size of the antenna is 24.75 mm × 27.39 mm × 1.6 mm with volumetric size of 1 cm3. To understand the characteristics of the proposed antenna, the parametric studies are being performed. The return loss of the proposed antenna shows fair agreement with the simulated and measured results.
