STUDIES OF DUAL-BAND AND BROADBAND PLANAR ANTENNAS FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Novel broadband designs of planar antenna with an air substrate are proposed in this dissertation, The operating bands considered include the GSM/DCS band and ISM band. Several antenna designs capable of dual- polarized operation, circularly polarized radiation, and diversity operation are also presented.In these antenna designs, prototypes were constructed. The measured input impedance, return loss, radiation pattern, and antenna gain are presented and discussed. The commercially available simulation software are also used in verifying the measured results.As for the broadband planar antenna designs, the impedance bandwidth obtained reaches about 10% (1.5¡G1VSWR). For the circularly polarized designs, we propose a low-cost, broadband circularly polarized patch antenna fed by a coplanar probe feed, and circular polarization (CP) radiation over a wide frequency range (¡Ö10%) can be achieved. High isolation between two feeding ports (S21 less than ¡V30 dB) can be obtained for the constructed prototype of the proposed dual-polarized design. On the other hand, wrapping a planar monopole into a compact box-like structure allows the antenna¡¦s total height less then 5% of the wavelength at 900 MHz. The proposed antennas are suitable for wireless communications applications.
