Abstract
A compact and simple coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed monopole antenna for 5 GHz wireless communication is proposed. By properly adjusting the lengths of both the monopole strip and the inverted L-shaped ground, the designed antenna, with, including ground plane, only 9×9.5 mm2, can operate at the desired 5.2 or 5.8 GHz band. The electromagnetic coupling effect between the radiating strip and the ground on excitation of the resonant mode has been studied. Prototypes of the proposed antenna have been constructed and experimentally studied. Measured results show a -10 dB impedance bandwidth and an average antenna gain of 400 MHz and >6 dBi, respectively.
