Abstract

In this paper a novel branch-line printed inverted-F antenna (IFA) loaded with a rectangular complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) is proposed, designed and experimentally studied. The proposed antenna shows four operating frequencies and can be used for various cellular and wireless applications (900 MHz/3.5 GHz/4.2 GHz/5.5 GHz). The antenna is compact in size having dimensions 0.059λ₀ × 0.053λ₀ × 0.002λ₀ at the lowest resonance frequency. Each of the bands is independently tunable and shows circular polarisation (CP) in the WLAN band with linear polarization (LP) in the other three bands. The axial ratio (AR) bandwidth is 1.82% in WLAN band. The simulated and fabricated results are reported in terms of S-parameters and radiation pattern. The prototype of the antenna has been fabricated and measured using VNA and simulation done in ANSYS HFSS.
