Abstract

In this research, a compact printed antenna design operating on ultra-wideband (UWB) and three extra wireless communication bands is proposed. An ellipse-shaped monopole is utilized to realize UWB application (3.1-10.6 GHz). The modified ground employs three folded Capacitive Loaded Line Resonators (CLLRs) to obtain triple relatively lower communication bands, including parts of global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) band at the centre frequency of 1.78 GHz, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) band at the centre frequency of 2.15 GHz, and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) band at the centre frequency of 2.4 GHz. The CLLRs are designed with quarter-wavelength to control the corresponding frequencies independently. Good agreement is achieved between the simulation and measurement to verify our presented design. The basic, dual-, triple-band UWB antennas are also simulated and good results are obtained. Small group delay variations across UWB frequencies are obtained for the presented antenna and reference antennas, with some level of distortion observed.
