Abstract

A conductor backed coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed multiband antenna is presented. The shorting of ground in CPW feed and conductor backed arrangement extend the area of ground plane. The proposed antenna consists of rectangular monopole with Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) engraved in the extended ground plane. The prototype antenna is designed, fabricated and measured. CSRR characteristics are also analyzed. Simulated and measured results of the antenna are in good agreement with each other and are discussed. The proposed antenna can be used for WiMAX, WLAN and RADAR applications at 3.4 GHz, 5.16 GHz and 9.5 GHz, respectively.
