The document proposes a dual-dipole-antenna system for concurrent dual-radio operation at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It first studies the mutual coupling between two dipole antennas and finds good isolation when the antennas are orthogonal in polarization. Based on this, the design places a 2.4 GHz dipole perpendicular to a 5 GHz dipole on a two-layer substrate. Simulations show the antennas, stacked just 0.8 mm apart, achieve over 15 dB isolation across bands. Measurements of a prototype confirm bandwidth and radiation pattern specifications for both WiFi standards are met while maintaining low coupling between closely packed antennas.
Low-Cost Flat Metal-Plate Dipole Antenna for 2.4/5 GHz WLAN OperationSaou-Wen Su
A low-cost, one-piece, flat-plate dipole antenna for dual WLAN band operation is presented. The dipole antenna is rectangular in shape with the dimensions 10 mm × 37 mm and fed by 50-ohm mini-coaxial cable. By cutting two L-shaped slits in each radiating arm, two dipole arms are obtained, which form a larger dipole and a smaller dipole antennas for the 2.4 and 5 GHz band operation respectively. The dipole arms are further short-circuited, making it possible for the antenna to be fabricated by stamping a single, flat metal plate only. The impedance bandwidth for 2.4/5 GHz WLAN operation is with VSWR below 1.5 and good omnidirectional radiation patterns are also observed.

A Three-in-One Diversity Antenna System for 5 GHz WLAN ApplicationsSaou-Wen Su
A novel, three-in-one antenna system suitable for WLAN operation in the 5 GHz band is presented. The design is based upon incorporating one slot and two dipole antennas into a compact multi-antenna system that has comparable dimensions of a single mobile-unit antenna element. The three antennas are arranged parallel to each other with the two dipoles set on the right and left sides of the slot respectively. With this arrangement, not only can compact integration of three individual antennas be realized, pattern diversity and polarization diversity are also obtained. A design prototype has been constructed and tested. The results show that the coupling or the antenna port isolation is below –20 dB and good radiation characteristics have been observed.
Internal Wideband Monopole Antenna for MIMO Access-Point Applications in the ...Saou-Wen Su
A three-antenna MIMO system capable of generating a wide operating bandwidth of 2400-5850 MHz for access-point applications is introduced. The proposed design is based on a bent metal-plate monopole antenna with a compact size of 20 × 20 × 14 mm3. The three antennas are equally spaced along the perimeter of a circular ground and all generate a wide bandwidth of larger than 4 GHz. With the antenna short-circuiting facing the center of the ground, not only the overall antenna size is reduced but also good isolation of less than -20 dB can easily be obtained. Calculated envelope correlation is also less than 0.002 across the operating band. The design prototype of the antenna is discussed in detail in the paper.
A novel multi-resonant and wideband fractal antenna for telecommunication ap...IJECEIAES
This letter presents the design, simulation, and measurement of a novel multiband fractal circular antenna for wireless applications. In the antenna design, we used a circular antenna where we took a ring. Then, in the first iteration, we added a new ring divided into two of the same size. For the second iteration, we added a ring of the same size after dividing it into two halves. In the third iteration, we added the third ring of the same size after dividing it into four. Due to the resonator defection, we were able to reduce the size of the starting antenna from 60×70×2 mm3 to 50×50×1.6 mm3 , to get the frequency of 2.48 GHz, and we generated new bandwidths with a high gain that reaches 5.02 dB. The proposed antenna radiation characteristics, such as the impedance matching, the gain, the radiation pattern, and the surface current distribution are presented and discussed. We find that the simulated and measured results are in acceptable agreement and affirm the good performance of the proposed antenna. The results obtained affirm that the proposed fractal antenna is a better candidate for integration into wireless communication circuits.
Rectangular and circular antennas design for Bluetooth applicationsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The most researched and examined aspect of the communication system is the wireless connection. Without learning how to operate and use different types of antennas, your knowledge is incomplete. Microstrip patch antenna research has advanced significantly in recent years. When compared to standard antennas, microstrip patch antennas provide additional advantages and opportunities. It is of low volume, light weight, low cost, low appearance, compact and easy to manufacture. This study investigates the differences between rectangular and circular patch antennas. For Bluetooth applications, the center frequency of 2.4 GHz was chosen as the optimal resonant frequency. On a flame retardant (FR-4) epoxy substrate, the antenna dielectric constant is 4.4. Above the ground the base rises 3.6 mm. For the simulation process, high frequency simulation software (HFSS 15) is used as the program design. Antennas 1×1, 1×2, and 1×4 are designed for both circular and rectangular antennas. A comparison was made for both types of antennas and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), return losses, gain, directivity and half power beam width (HPBW) were found, and the feature of the rectangular antenna was shown.

This paper proposes a method for designing a new ultra wide band (UWB) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with two and four elements. First we presented an ultra-wide band antenna we studied these performances. Then, we studied the application of metamaterials to the design of MIMO antennas for miniaturization and the performance of antennas, in order to guarantee the proper functioning of the MIMO system with a much reduced separation distance between the radiating elements (λ/12), where the coupling can be very weak. The application of these circular double ring SRRs materials on the front plan of the antenna has contributed to the increasing of the antenna performance is studied in terms of S-Parameters, efficiency, diversity gain (DG), radiation properties and envelop correlation coefficient (ECC). It offers advantages such as the reduction of weight and congestion that is beneficial for their integration into satellite communications systems.

A One-Piece Flat-Plate Dipole Antenna for Dual-Band WLAN OperationSaou-Wen Su
A simple, one-piece, flat-plate dipole antenna suitable for dual-band WLAN applications is presented. The antenna is structured to be of an L shape to fit in corners of possible wireless electronics devices. The two radiating arms of the dipole antenna are further short-circuited through a narrow shorting strip at the corners, making it possible for the antenna to be manufactured by stamping a single, flat metal plate only one time. That is, the proposed antenna in the mass-production phase can be at lower cost. In addition, by cutting an L-shaped slit at proper location in each radiating arm, a dual-band operation can easily be obtained. The design prototype of the antenna in the 2.4/5.2 GHz bands is discussed in detail in the article.
Compact Vertical Patch Antenna for Dual-Band WLAN OperationSaou-Wen Su
A new compact patch antenna, which is arranged perpendicular to a circular ground plane, for WLAN operation is presented. The antenna consists mainly of one driven patch and one shorted parasitic patch, which both wind along two concentric circles. A constructed prototype covering the 2.4 and 5 GHz WLAN bands is demonstrated. Good broadside radiation characteristics are obtained across the operating bands. Details of the proposed patch antenna and experimental results are presented and discussed.

This Letter demonstrates a new design of a probe-fed patch antenna with a modified antenna ground, and a constructed prototype ideal for applications in a 2.4-GHz WLAN access point is presented. The antenna has a thick air substrate for broadband operation and is fed by an inclined probe pin at the edge of the patch bent portion. The antenna ground comprises different portions and is in the shape of a step. With the proposed probe feed and ground configuration, good impedance bandwidth with VSWR below 1.5 over the 2.4 GHz WLAN band can be obtained. In addition, good broadside radiation characteristics have also been observed.

A simple yet effective method for matching a compact planar inverted- F antenna (PIFA) on a small system circuit board for Bluetooth-headset applications is presented. The antenna is perpendicular to and extends along the top and right sides of the system ground, making it possible for the antenna to occupy almost no limited board space. Results have shown that by introducing a thin conductive wire soldered to the bottom corner of the system ground, good input matching over the 2400-2484 MHz band can easily be achieved for the PIFA mounted on a small ground of length less than a quarter wavelength at 2440 MHz. Radiation measurements of the proposed design in a real headset attached to a standard head phantom are also taken.
Wideband Rod-Dipole Antenna with a Modified Feed for DTV Signal ReceptionSaou-Wen Su
A wideband rod-dipole antenna with a modified feed for DTV signal reception in the 470-862-MHz UHF band is presented. The antenna consists of two retractable rod-dipole arms, which are connected to the opposite top corners of the modified feed. The feed is in the shape of a rectangle with dimensions 20 mm × 40 mm and divided into two portions by a U slit. The antenna can generate nearby resonant modes to attain a wide operating band, exceeding 60% bandwidth with VSWR below 3, much larger than that of the conventional center-fed dipole antenna. In addition, with the two dipole arms designed at the production stage to be able to swivel around, the antenna radiation and polarization thereof can easily be adjusted for better DTV signal reception without moving the whole antenna structure.

A compact printed ultra-wideband (UWB, 3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz) circular slot antenna having a notched frequency band at 5 GHz is presented. The antenna is a uniplanar structure and occupies a compact area of 25 x 26 mm2 only (side length less than 27% of the lower edge frequency at 3.1 GHz). The antenna has a U-slotted circular stub embedded inside the circular slot. By choosing the length of the U-slot cut in the circular stub to be about a half-wavelength of the desired notched frequency, a band-notched UWB operation is obtained.
2005 IEEE AP-S-Internal Shorted Patch Antenna for UMTS Mobile PhoneSaou-Wen Su
A novel design of feeding and short-circuiting an internal patch antenna for mobile phones is presented. The patch antenna is with a simple rectangular patch and is fed through and short-circuited to a small ground plane (denoted as antenna ground here) protruded from the main or bottom ground of a folder-type mobile phone. With the presence of the small antenna ground, which can function as a shielding wall, the proposed antenna can be placed in close proximity to the RF shielding metal box in the mobile phone, with very small effects on the antenna performances.

A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna suitable to be mounted on the printed circuit board (PCB) of a wireless universal serial bus (USB) dongle as an internal antenna is presented. The proposed antenna in the study is a U-shaped metal plate monopole antenna easily fabricated from bending a simple metal plate onto a foam base of a compact size of 6 x 11 x 20 mm3. The antenna mainly comprises a pair of wide-ended radiating arms and a bevelled feeding transition. When the antenna is mounted at the top portion of the PCB, one end of the radiating arm is also short-circuited to the system ground plane. With the proposed antenna structure, which can provide a very wide operating bandwidth of larger than 7.6 GHz, the antenna’s impedance bandwidth can easily cover the 3.1–10.6 GHz UWB band.

2.4 and 5 GHz dipoles easily satisfy the required bandwidth The mutual coupling of the two simple strip dipole antennas has

patterns are inclined at an angle of 20 degrees in the x-z plane.
For the 5 GHz dipole, due to the effect of bent dipole arms of the
2.4 GHz dipole, the radiation energy in the z directions is much
less than in the y directions. In this case, bi-directional radiation
patterns are created with maximum radiation (peak antenna gain)
in the y directions. Interestingly notice that along the y axes,
the intersection of two H-planes of the 2.4 and 5 GHz dipoles, the
maximum radiation in the E field of the 2.4 GHz dipole is at the
right angle to the maximum radiation in the E field of the 5 GHz
dipole. This shows that the two dipoles have orthogonal waves
indeed.
Figure 7 presents the peak antenna gain and radiation efficiency
against frequency. The peak gain over the 2.4 GHz band is seen to
be at a constant level of about 2 dBi, and the radiation efficiency
exceeds about 90% ( 0.5 dB). As for the 5.2 GHz band, the peak
gain varies from 3.0 to 2.1 dBi with radiation efficiency larger than
74% ( 1.3 dB). Though the radiation efficiency seems to be low
