A Quad-Band Monopole Antenna for GPS and RFID Applications

Abstract

In this work, a multiband microstrip-fed printed monopole antenna is introduced for RFID and GPS applications. This antenna resonates at the frequency ranges of 0.89-0.91 GHz, 1.5-1.7 GHz, 2.35-2.57 GHz, and 5.01-6.55 GHz. This paper simulated an antenna on a FR-4 dielectric substrate of size 80 x 40 x 1.6 mm3. This simulation is carried out using TaraNG time domain solver where return loss, phase, radiation pattern, VSWR, and antenna gain are analyzed.
