Compact Fractal Monopole Antennas with DGS for Wide Band Applications

The present book deals with the design and analysis of such novel antenna structures with experimental validation to realize the operation in real time environment. The main theme behind this thesis is to study the performance of wide band antenna models with different structures for different applications. Design and analysis of some compact and wideband models are simulated using ANSYS HFSS tool and after that the optimized models are prototyped and tested for reliability. The performance evaluation of these models with different iterations were analyzed using Anritsu MS2037C VNA Master Series Vector Network Analyzer and antenna measurement setup, validation was performed. In this process design of antenna models will be carried with mathematical formulation and simulation studies with parametric analysis for optimization. Wideband antenna models with microstrip line feeding, coplanar wave guide feeding and with Frequency Selective Surface case also tested to improve the radiation properties and band pass response of the antenna. The complete study inherently moves around the multi-resonant antenna model design considerations and bandwidth performance improvement techniques.
