Several novel designs of printed monopole antennas are proposed and experimentally studied. These antennas have the advantages of low profile, light weight and easy construction and can be printed on dielectric substrates and integrated with associated circuitry on the same substrates, which not only reduces the manufacturing cost but also decreases the required size of the complete system. This dissertation mainly consists of four sections and several novel designs are introduced in each section. First, a novel dual-band antenna with two stacked inverted-F strips and a CPW-fed folded inverted-F strip antenna are proposed. Second, a novel printed dual-band double-T monopole antenna, comprising two stacked T-shaped monopoles, is discussed. Third, three diversity antenna designs obtained by protruding a ground plane with optimal dimensions between two printed monopoles for WLAN communication applications in the 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz bands are presented. Good dual-polarized radiation with an enhanced port decoupling (isolation less than ¡V27 dB) for the two feeding ports is obtained. Finally, a novel printed ultra-wideband diversity monopole antenna is shown. The operating bandwidth of the ultra-wideband antenna reaches about 5.4 GHz, covering the WLAN bands at 2.4, 5.2 and 5.8 GHz, and the antenna can provide spatial diversity to combat the multipath fading problem.
