In this paper, a compact slot antenna for 2.4GHz ISM band applications has been designed. The folded slot with some additional meander sections are used in the design of the antenna within the restricted PCB space. The operating frequency band and the fractional bandwidth of the antenna is about 2.32~2.58 GHz and 11%, and the radiation patterns within the operation bandwidth are almost same. Also, the radiation efficiency and gain of the antenna is more than 49% and 1.2 dBi respectively. To check the validity of the design result, the measurement and simulation results are compared and presented.

A triple-band transceiver module for 2.3/2.5/3.5 GHz mobile WiMAX, IEEE 802.16e, applications is introduced. The suggested transceiver module consists of RFIC, reconfigurable/multi-resonance MIMO antenna, embedded PCB, mobile WiMAX base band, memory and channel selection front-end module. The RFIC is fabricated in $0.13{\mu}m$ RF CMOS process and has 3.5 dB noise figure(NF) of receiver and 1 dBm maximum power of transmitter with 68-pin QFN package, $8{\times}8\;mm^2$ area. The area reduction of transceiver module is achieved by using embedded PCB which decreases area by 9% of the area of transceiver module with normal PCB. The developed triple-band mobile WiMAX transceiver module is tested by performing radio conformance test(RCT) and measuring carrier to interference plus noise ratio (CINR) and received signal strength indication (RSSI) in each 2.3/2.5/3.5 GHz frequency.

An inverted-F antenna for wireless local area network(WLAN) is presented. The proposed design is based on the typical dual-band planar inverted-F antennas(PIFA), which have two tunable resonant modes. The low-profile antenna is built by stamping and designed to be mounted on the metal frame of the laptop LCD panel. The obtained antenna can perform in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and be adopted for other wireless applications. All the measurements are performed in the actual test fixture.

In this paper, a microstrip-fed dual-band monopole antenna with two arc-shaped lines for WLAN(: Wireless Local Area Networks) applications was designed, fabricated and measured. The proposed antenna is based on a microstrip-fed structure, and composed of two arc-shaped lines and then designed in order to get dual band characteristics. We used the simulator, Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator(: HFSS) and carried out simulation about parameters L2, L5, and with/without slit to get the optimized parameters. The proposed antenna is made of $13.0{\times}34.0{\times}1.0 mm^3$ and is fabricated on the permittivity 4.4 FR-4 substrate($12.0{\times}34.0{\times}1.0mm^3$). The experiment results are shown that the proposed antenna obtained the -10 dB impedance bandwidth 360 MHz (2.29~2.65 GHz) and 1,245 MHz (4.705~5.95 GHz) covering the WLAN bands. Also, the measured gain and radiation patterns characteristics of the proposed antenna are presented at required dual-band(2.4 GHz band/5.0 GHz band), respectively.

This paper presents a novel circular fractal ring monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) hardware with dual band-notched properties. The proposed antenna consists of four crescent-shaped nested rings, a tapered feeding line at the front of the dielectric material, and a semicircular ground plane on the backside. In this design, the nested rings are used both as a radiation element and a band rejection element. The proposed antenna has a bandwidth of 9.03 GHz, which works efficiently in the range of 2.63 GHz-11.66 GHz with the dual notched bands of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) at 3.15 GHz-3.66 GHz and wireless local area network (WLAN) at 4.9 GHz-5.9 GHz, respectively. The antenna has a compact size of 20 mm × 30 mm × 1 mm (0.177 × 0.265 × 0.0084 λ0) and is implemented using a flame-retardant type 4 (FR4) material. It has a maximum gain of approximately 4 dB in its operating range, and experimental results support the simulation predictions with high accuracy. The findings of this study imply that the designed antenna can be utilized in UWB applications.

Multi-band VCO with fast response adaptive frequency calibration (AFC) technique is designed in 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The possible operation is verified for 5.8GHz band, 5.2GHz band, and 2.4GHz band using the switchable L-C resonators for 802.11a/b/g WLAN applications. To linearize its frequency-voltage gain, optimized multiple MOS varactor biasing technique is used. In order to operate in each band frequency range with reduced VCO gain, 4-bit digitally controlled switched-capacitor bank is used and a wide-range digital logic quadricorrelator is implemented for fast frequency detector.

This paper presents a single and 2-patch microstrip array antenna operated on a frequency of 10.3GHz(x-band). It outlines the process of designing a microstrip patch array antenna using CST MWS. Initially, a single microstrip antenna was designed, followed by optimization using CST MWS to attain optimal return losses and gain. Subsequently, the design was expanded to create a 2×1 microstrip inset-fed array antenna for the X-band applications. The construction material is Roger RO4350B, with specific dimensions (h=0.79mm, 𝜖_r = 3.54). The achieved results include an S11 of -18dB at the resonant frequency (10.3GHz), a gain of 9.82dBi, a bandwidth of 0.165GHz, and a 3-dB beamwidth of 30°, 121° in Az(𝜑=0) and El(𝜑=90) plane, respectively. The future plan involves the fabrication of this array antenna and further expansion to a 4×4 array of microstrip antennas. It is then incorporated on the X-band applications for practical uses.
