A Monopole UWB Antenna for WIFI 7/Bluetooth and Satellite Communication

Abstract

In this paper, a monopole UWB broadband antenna is designed, fabricated, and measured for wireless communication networks. The initial radiator model of the proposed antenna has a short-sleeve shape, and to expand the impedance bandwidth, the right and left angles are subtracted symmetrically from the lower half of the radiator. The impedance matching is improved by etching slots in the feed line and adding L-shaped patches symmetrically on both sides of the feed line. The results show that the proposed miniaturized antenna system can cover WiFi 7(2.4–2.484 GHz, 5.15–5.35 GHz, 5.725–5.825 GHz, 5.925–7.125 GHz), 4G LTE (2.3–2.39 GHz, 2.555–2.655 GHz), 5G (4.8–5.0 GHz), X-band (7–12.4 GHz), Ku-band (10.7–14.59 GHz), and C-band uplink bands (5.925–6.425 GHz). Moreover, the antenna is found to be omnidirectional at low frequencies, with a maximum peak gain of 5.43 dBi. The antenna can be used for multi-frequency wireless communication applications.
