Computer aided design of small wire antennas for mobile communication

In this study, the effect of the vertical plane arm dimensions and its separation from the monopoles is examined in terms of the antenna input impedance and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). For operation in the license-free 2.4-2.483 GHz WLAN band, the dimensions are optimized to yield a low V...

Description
Summary:In this study, the effect of the vertical plane arm dimensions and its separation from the monopoles is examined in terms of the antenna input impedance and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). For operation in the license-free 2.4-2.483 GHz WLAN band, the dimensions are optimized to yield a low VSWR. The electromagnetic simulation is carried out using the software IE3D. Next, to study the operation of the two monopoles as space diversity antennas, envelope correlation coefficient has been calculated as a function of separation between the two monopoles.
