A novel high gain monopole CPW antenna for WiMAX applications

Abstract

In this paper, a novel CPW-fed monopole antenna with two semi circular rings faced each other which are mounted on T-shaped structure for WiMAX applications is proposed. The analysis of the antenna is done using method of moments (MoM) in IE3D software. The simulation results show that the antenna exhibits good radiation pattern with wide beam width and high gain. Return loss is improved compared to conventional T-shaped antenna with larger dimensions.
