In this paper, a compact CPW-fed antenna for 5 GHz (5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.725-5.825 GHz) band WLAN applications is presented. The designed antenna's shape is step structure. The antenna is fabricated and measured into FR-4 substrate of dielectric comstant 4.2 and thickness 1.0 mm with optimized parameters obtained by simulation. We confirm that it is operated as antenna for WLAN applications by obtaining the measured return loss level of < -10 dB in 5.133-5.982 GHz. The dimensions of the antenna ($20.0{\times}16.0{\times}1.0mm^3$) shows an compactness of about 67.17% with respect to a conventional folded slot antenna.

In this paper, an antenna which has quad band in GSM/DCS/PCS/Bluetooth is proposed. This structure is designed with miniaturization for wide band characteristic based on monopole antenna and log-periodic toothed trapezoid patch antenna which has slots. To achieve multi-bandwidth is used the microstrip line on the substrate. An antenna size is $35mm{\times}20mm$ on FR-4(${\varepsilon}r=4.4$) ground substrate of $35mm{\times}75mm{\times}1mm$ size. And proposed antenna is satisfied with impedance bandwidth(VSWR ${\leq}$ 3). The simulated maximum radiation gain is 1.92 dBi, 3.26 dBi, 3.97 dBi at the center frequency of 0.92 GHz, 1.97 GHz, 2.45 GHz, respectively.

In this paper, a multiple antenna system for next generation mobile applications is proposed. The proposed MIMO antenna consists of two parallel folded monopole antennas with the length of 100 mm and spacing of 6 mm and a decoupling network which locates at the top side of a mobile handset. In order to improve the isolation characteristic at the LTE band 13, a decoupling network was added between the two antenna elements placed close to each other. The decoupling network, consisting of two transmission lines, a shunt reactive component and common ground line, is simple and compact. To obtain the wide bandwidth characteristic, an wide folded patch structure generating the strong coupling between feeding and shorting lines through the slit is used at the bottom side of a mobile handset. Also, the performance of a multiple antenna system composed of three antenna elements is analyzed.

A vehicle antenna for AM, FM, TDMB, GPS systems was designed and implemented. Omnidirectional AM antenna was designed by ferrite turn style antenna. For the FM and TDMB antenna, folded monopole antenna which helical is folded was applied. GPS antenna for the bandwidth achievement was designed by trapezoidal microstrip patch that has air substrate. Receiving signal strengths by the measurement were presented for the AM, FM and TDMB antenna. AM signal strength was -65.7 dBm, this strength is almost as same conventional pole antenna as -63.4 dBm. It can be replaced conventional pole or glass antenna by the studied antenna. Signal strengths for FM and TDMB were -55.66 and -43.50 dBm at center frequency, they are 5~10 dB higher than conventional antenna. Measurements of bandwidth and gain for the GPS antenna showed 135 MHz under VSWR 2 : 1 and 4.31 dBi, gains over GPS band were 3~5 dB higher than ceramic patch antenna.

In this paper, the compact antenna with three folded patches for use in a number of bands of LTE, WCDMA, US-PCS, and WLAN at the same time is proposed. As the changes in widths of the 3 patches to widen the insufficient bandwidth are given, it is optimized for $S_{11}$<-6dB(VSWR<3). The CPW with a number of advantages is used in the proposed antenna. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated with FR4 substrate to the size of $44.9{\times}35{\times}1mm^3$. Fabricated antenna has within $S_{11}$<-6dB under operating bands. And measured characteristics of radiation patterns and gains are shown under operating bands.

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.
