In this paper, a design method for a compact CPW-fed slot antenna using SRRs(split-ring resonators) is studied. The structure of the proposed slot antenna is a rectangular slot antenna loaded with SRR conductors inside the slot to reduce the antenna size. Optimal design parameters are obtained by analyzing the effects of the gap between the SRR conductors and slot, and the width of the SRR conductors on the input reflection coefficient characteristic. The optimized compact slot antenna operating at 2.45 GHz band is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a dimension of 36 mm by 30 mm. The length of the proposed compact slot antenna is reduced by 14.3% compared to that of a conventional rectangular slot antenna. Experiment results show that the antenna has a desired impedance characteristic with a frequency band of 2.4-2.49 GHz for a VSWR < 2.

This paper presents a coplanar waveguide fed L-planar type monopole antenna which covers ultra wideband(UWB) region of 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. The proposed UWB L-planar type monopole antenna is designed and implemented on the organic substrates( ${\varepsilon}_{r}=3.38,\;@10\;GHz$). The radiation elements, feed line, and ground planes of the antenna are printed on the same conductive layer of the substrates. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna is measured in the range of 3.0 GHz to 11.0 GHz. The measured radiation patterns are symmetrical in E-plane and omni-directional in H-plane. Antenna gains ranges from 1.4 dBi to 4.6 dBi. The proposed UWB antenna shows that the structure is adequate for the design of RFIC.

In this paper, a CPW-fed monopole antenna using inverted L-type DGS structures is proposed and investigated experimentally. The proposed antenna is fabricated into FR4 substrate with dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r=4.5). Measured results show that the impedance bandwidth, determined from 10-dB return loss, for frequencies between 5.7250Hz-5.825CHz under the condition of VSWR$\leqq$2 is about 540MHg.

In this paper, a double-sided planar balun using Microstrip-to-CPW coupled structure is fabricated and measured. The measured amplitude and phase imbalance are, respectively, less than 0.2 dB and 2.1$^{\circ}$ in a wide frequency range from 2.44 GHz to 4.33 GHz. It is expected that the proposed balun can improved the performance of balanced mixer, amplifier and feeding network of antennas. Also, it can be used in many microwave multilayer structures due to its structural characteristics.

In this paper, a CPW fed rectangular slot antenna loaded with two slots for dual band operation is presented. This antenna operates at about 2.1GHz and 3.3GHz with the broad bandwidth at these frequencies. a CPW inset structure is used to match the antenna at the two seperated frequencies. Some prototypes of the proposed dual frequency antenna have been implemented. Experimental results are presented and discussed.

In this paper, a new CPW-fed cross shape fractal antenna having a self-affinity is presented. This novel configuration, which has anisotropic scaling symmetry, makes smaller profile characteristic compared to the fractal antenna using a self-similarity. Increase of the iteration coefficient, which leads to decrease of the fundamental resonant frequency, shows a good impedance matching condition and multi-band characteristics due to new surface current paths. The radiation patterns are similar to those of monopole antennas. In the K3 stage of iteration, the proposed antenna shows a measured maximum gain 2.27 dBi at 940 MHz. A commercially available software based on the FDTD algorithm has been used to obtain the predicted results. In addition, an RT/Duroid 5880 substrate has been employed for the experimental results.

In the present study, we proposed newly a CPW-fed miniaturized folded-slot antenna with open ended slot for WCDMA (1.92 ~ 2.17 GHz) band. Open-ended slots and asymmetric ground plane are used for a miniaturization of the antenna, and the proposed antenna was designed and fabricated on a FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm, and size of 35×70 ㎟. The measured impedance bandwidths (|S₁₁| ≤ -10 dB) of fabricated antenna is about 400 MHz (1.86 ~ 2.26 GHz), which sufficiently satisfied interested band. Furthermore, the gain of antenna is 2 dBi and this antenna shows a similar radiation patterns of the dipole antenna. Therefore, it is expected to be used usefully in wireless and mobile communication device.

In this paper, a co-planar waveguide(CPW)-fed zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) antenna with an improved radiation efficiency was built and tested. The unit cell of the proposed antenna consists of a series metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitor and a shorted shunt stub inductor. In order to reduce the antenna size and to achieve the high radiation efficiency two shorted shunt stub arms bent by 90 degree were connected to the ground plane through the via. The proposed antenna consisting of two unit cells has an open ended composite right/left-handed(CRLH) transmission line structure. As a result the dominantly radiating parts of the antenna comes from shunt stub arms and vertical vias. The total size of the fabricated zeroth-order resonant antenna is $0.22\;{\lambda}_0{\times}0.22\;{\lambda}_0$. The measured gain and efficiency of the fabricated antenna have been enhanced by 3.07 dBi and 75 %, respectively, at the zeroth-order resonant frequency of 2.97 GHz.

This paper proposes a uni-planar elliptical element UWB antenna with band-notched characteristic and modified pound plane fed by CPW. The antenna achieves VSWR below 2 for UWB band(3.1 GHz${\~}$10.6 GHz). In addition, a band-notched characteristic is achieved by inserting a horizontal slot on the radiation element to avoid the interference with 5 GHz(5.15 GHz${\~}$5.825 GHz) band limited by IEEE 802.1la. The antenna has a thin profile, compact size, and ease of manufacture by adopting a CPW feed structure without any additional background plane. Measured data show that the proposed antenna has good return loss below -10 dB, about 2.1 dB${\~}$4.75 dB maximum gain over the bandwidth, omni-directional radiation patterns, linear phase response.

In this paper, the compact CPW-fed antenna with triple folded patch for dual-band WLAN applications is proposed. As the conventional double inverted-L antenna is changed into the C-shaped patch and double inverted-L antenna, the antenna overcomes the narrow-band characteristics according to the miniaturization of the antenna. The proposed antenna with the size of only $16.5mm{\times}29.5mm{\times}1.0mm$ is designed and fabricated by optimized parameters to be operated at 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band. The antenna is fabricated into FR-4 substrate with thickness of 1.0 mm. We confirm that it is operated as antenna for WLAN applications by obtaining the measured return loss level of < -10 dB at dual-band.
