Abstract :
A compact printed monopole antenna with tunable ground for adjustment of bandwidth is proposed. The achieved bandwidth is regulated by the length of ground plane. Presented antenna has five slits in its rectangular patch controlling the bandwidth and the frequency shifts. The simulated results are obtained using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator). FR4 substrate of 30×24×1.6 mm3 is used for the fabrication. The measured results of prototype are acquired by network analyzer and anechoic chamber. The offered antenna is applicable for GSM (1800, 1900), UWB, UMTS (1900, 2100), Wi-Fi, WiMAX, Zig-bee, and Satellite Communication applications.
