Abstract

This paper proposes two rectangular ring planar monopole antennas for wideband and ultra-wideband applications. Simple planar rectangular rings are used to design the planar antennas. These rectangular rings are designed in a way to achieve the wideband operations. The operating frequency band ranges from 1.85 GHz to 4.95 GHz and 3.12 GHz to 14.15 GHz. The gain varies from 1.83 dBi to 2.89 dBi for rectangular ring wideband antenna and 1.89 dBi to 5.2 dBi for rectangular ring ultra-wideband antenna. The design approach and the results are discussed.
