Abstract

A small Monopole antenna, which suitable ultra wideband and wireless LAN application is presented. The proposed antenna is designed to operate over 2.34 to 12 GHz for return loss values below -10 dB in the whole frequency range. The proposed antenna consists of a diamond shaped radiator and rectangle ground. Good return loss and radiation pattern are obtained in the frequency band of interest. The antenna fabricated on PCB area of 16 mm × 42mm × 1.6 mm and small size easily integrated to wireless USB dongle. Detailed simulation and experimental investigations are conducted to understand antenna behavior and optimize for broadband operation.
