Monopole rectangular microstrip antenna for ultra wideband wireless communication applications

A novel ultra-wideband planar monopole rectangular microstrip antenna (UWBMRMSA) for wireless communication is presented in this paper. The antenna consists of symmetrical corner truncations on the rectangular patch. The proposed antenna is housed in a volume of 24 × 23.3 × 1.6 mm³. The antenna is energized by microstripline feed arrangement. The operational impedance bandwidth of this antenna is 141.47% (1.76–10.27 GHz) with an impedance bandwidth ratio of 5.83: 1 in its operating frequency. The antenna exhibits nearly omni-directional radiation characteristic. The peak gain of the antenna is 4.94 dB. The design of proposed antenna and its various parameters are studied by using the Ansoft High Frequency Structural Simulation (HFSS) software. The results are presented and discussed. The antenna shows good agreement of experimental and simulated results. This antenna may be used for different applications lies in the UWB range mobile such as Bluetooth (2.8 GHz) WIMAX (3.4 GHz), WLAN (2.4/5 GHz), UMTS and Ultra-wideband (UWB) (3.1–10.6 GHz).
