Miniaturization of Monopole Antenna with Modified Ground for Wi-Fi Applications

Abstract

The paper proposes novel design of a monopole antenna energized using Coplanar Waveguide (CPW). The ground plane of the antenna is modified as a loop which enables better reflection and radiation characteristics along with appreciable size reduction in comparison with conventional CPW fed monopole antenna. The proposed system analyzed and optimized using ANSYS HFSS. The optimized compact antenna structure is fabricated and tested using Vector Network Analyser.
