Abstract :
This paper presents a compact planar monopole antenna that covers the operating frequency bands of GSM (880-960MHz), DCS (1710-1880MHz), WiMAX (3.2-3.6GHz), WLAN and Bluetooth (2.4GHz), and WLAN (5.1-5.35GHz). The proposed antenna is incorporated with two distinct monopoles, a tree-type and a shaped meander-line type monopole, situated on the opposite side of the substrate; the shaped meander-line type monopole is tuned to create the triple lower frequency bands, on the other hand, the tree-type monopole is built not only to produce the two higher frequency bands, but also to act as a proximity coupling feed for the meander-line resonator. The noticeable originalities exhibited in this proposed antenna include the handiwork of shaped multiband meander-line monopole and the use of broadband proximity coupling mechanism. Both of them enable us to simply the tuning process of the broadband matched network and to reduce the antenna size as well. The proposed antenna accompanied with several attractive characteristics makes itself particularly suitable to the modern integrated mobile wireless access applications.
