COMPOSITE-MATERIAL PRINTED ANTENNA FOR A MULTI-STANDARD WIRELESS APPLICATION TISKANA ANTENA IZ KOMPOZITNEGA MATERIALA ZA VE^STANDARDNO BREZ@I^NO UPORABO

doi:10.17222/mit.2014.232 This paper presents a printed multi-standard wireless antenna fabricated from a cost effective composite material to cover GPS (1575 MHz), GSM 1800, GSM 1900, WLAN (2400 MHz), LTE band 40 (2.3–2.4 GHz), WiMAX (3600 MHz) and WLAN (5.1–5.35 GHz) frequency bands. The reported antenna is incorporated with two distinct monopole radiators with a meanderline-type ground plane. The wireless mobile antenna can be conveniently simulated with the commercially available EM simulation software (CST Microwave Studio) using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. A parametric analysis of the antenna geometry is demonstrated and the specific absorption rate (SAR) is also analyzed with a human-head model.
