Abstract
This paper presents a circular monopole antenna with uniquely packed quad T-shaped strips etched on FR4 epoxy substrate having material permittivity 4.4, loss tangent 0.02, and thickness 1.6 mm. The 3.5 GHz band is achieved through this arrangement, which has return loss less than −10 dB while maintaining VSWR <2. It provides a peak gain of 2.65 dBi at 3.5 GHz and average gain of 2.52 dBi in the entire operating frequency band. The radiation pattern is almost omnidirectional in E plane and bidirectional in H plane. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 41.25 mm × 30.55 mm. The simulated results of S11 parameters, gain, VSWR, radiation pattern, and efficiency are studied and verified with the measured results of fabricated antenna as well as its equivalent lumped circuit model. Investigation shows that the proposed antenna can be employed for WLAN/WiMAX applications efficiently.
