In this paper, the CPW-fed Ultra-wideband antenna is designed and fabricated for UWB communications. To achieve ultra-wide bandwidth of the antenna, we propose the mutual coupling of two planar monopole antennas. The mutual coupling of monopole pair of the proposed antenna is optimized by adjusting the parameters, the widths of the planar monopoles and the space between two monopoles. Two UWB antennas with different horizontal sections of the CPW-fed monopole antenna are fabricated and measured to examine the mutual coupling effects on the monopole pair antenna. The measured result show that two antennas are satisfied with UWB communication band(3.1$\sim$10.6Ghz).

This paper presents the dual resonance PIFA(Planar Inverted F-Antenna) which satisfies the requirements of the 802.11n standard at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. Patch for 2.4 GHz and U-Type slot for 5 GHz were used for dual resonance, respectively. In this paper, the characteristics of an antenna were investigated by varying locations of short plate and feed point, the width of the short plate, the thickness and the location of U-Type slot. To investigate the characteristics of the PIFA, HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulation) for the simulation was used. And the measurement results of a fabricated PIFA were compared with the simulated ones. The measurement and simulation results show that good dual resonance characteristics as the thickness of U-type slot decreases and when the location of U-type slot is far from the feed point.

This paper discussed on the directive gain improvement method of the U-type ultra wide-band(UWB) planar patch antenna model with CPW feeding. For directive gain improvement, the U-type printed patch antenna model with CPW feeding is reconstructed as a microstrip structure by adding a reflection plane with aperture slot. The reflection coefficient of the reconstructed antenna is less than -6.5 dB(VSWR < 3.3) to the characteristic impedance of $50.08{\Omega}$ and showed the directive radiation patterns with the directive gain of 7.5 dBi ~ 10.1 dBi, the front-back ratio of 17.8 dB ~ 28.7 dB and the range of -3dB radiation angle over ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ to the main beam direction of ${\theta}=0^{\circ}$.

In this paper, a CPW fed and inversed U-type monopole structure wide slot antenna for novel broadband calacturictics is proposed. To enhance the impedance bandwidth of the wide slot antenna, we proposed the wide slot structure with cpw-fed which is combined with four $\lambda/2$ rectangular radiation modified monopole and inductively coupled. The measured impedance bandwidth is about 2.3 GHz(3.85~6.15 GHz) at 10 dB and the simulated antenna gain is about 6 dBi at 5.4 GHz.

In this paper, we designed and implemented an ultra wideband(UWB) antenna with band rejection characteristics. The proposed antenna consists of a planar radiation patch with slots and ground planes on both sides. Due to the slots in the radiation patch, the antenna shows band rejection characteristics. U-type slot contributes for wireless local area network(WLAN, 5.15~5.825 GHz) band rejection and n-type slot contributes for X-Band(7.25~8.395 GHz) band rejection. To make voltage standing wave ratio(VSWR) less than 2.0 for UWB frequency band except rejection bands, the shapes of planar radiation patch and ground plane was modified. The Ansoft 's high frequency structure simulator(HFSS) was used for the design process and simulations of the proposed antenna. The simulated antenna showed VSWR less than 2.0 for all UWB band excepts for dual rejection bands of 5.15 ~ 5.94 GHz and 7.02 ~ 8.45 GHz. And measured VSWR for the implemented antenna is less than 2.0 for all UWB band of 3.10~10.60 GHz excluding dual rejection bands of 5.12~5.95 GHz and 7.20~8.58 GHz.

In this paper, we deal with the development of an optimal design program for a triple-band PTFA(Planar Inverted-F Antenna) of 433 MHz, 912 MHz and 2.45 GHz by using evolution strategy. Generally, the resonance frequency of the PIFA is determined by the width and length of a U-type slot used. However the resonance frequencies of the multiple U slots are varied by the mutual effect of the slots. Thus the optimal width and length of U-type slots are determined by using an optimal design program based on the evolution strategy. To achieve this, an interface program between a commercial EM analysis tool and the optimal design program is constructed for implementing the evolution strategy technique that seeks a global optimum of the objective function through the iterative design process consisting of variation and reproduction. The resonance frequencies of the triple-band PIFA yielded by the optimal design program are 430 MHz, 910.5 MHz and 2.458 GHz that show a good agreement to the design target values.

In this paper, A planar UWB antenna with notched WLAN band, 802.11a band (5.15 ~ 5.825GHz), by using slot and slit is designed by using CST Microwave Studio. The notched bandwidth can be controlled by the length and width of the slot and slit in the patch and ground plane and it's radiation characteristics are examined through the experiments. The bandwidth based on the -10dB return loss level can be covered the full UWB band (3.1 ~ 10.6GHz) with a notched WLAN band (5.147 ~ 5.83GHz). Also, the experimental radiation pattern is almost omnidirectional in the H-plane.

The resonant frequencies of initial model are 439.5 MHz, 981.5 MHz and 2.563 GHz. However, the resonant frequencies of the triple-band PIFA yielded by the optimal design program are 430.5 MHz, 907 MHz and 2.4515 GHz. Measured resonant frequencies are 433.5 MHz, 905.5 MHz and 2.454GHz, which show a good agreement with the simulation results.
