Parisa Forouzannezhad, Sahereh SahandAbadi, Morteza Azizi Ghoomi . Compact and Wideband Disc Monopole Antenna based on Epsilon Negative Transmission Line for WiFi Applications. International Journal of Computer Applications. 175, 3 ( Oct 2017), 1-5. DOI=10.5120/ijca2017915471
In this work, a compact and broadband and planar monopole antenna consists of one unit cell of epsilon negative transmission line (ENG TL) is proposed. A disc-shaped monopole antenna is implemented at 2.45 GHz resonance frequency for 2:4 GHz applications. A 50 Ω microstrip line is used as a feedline and element of the antenna has 0:1 0 of diameter. The size of the antenna is reduced to 0:32 λ0 X 0 0:32 λ0, and the -10 dB fractional bandwidth is improved to 12:8% due to using metamaterial transmission line. Prototype antenna is fabricated and tested, and the measured results are compared to the simulated results using Ansoft HFSS.
