Abstract

A coplanar waveguide-fed quintuple band antenna with a slotted circular-shaped radiator for wireless applications with a high isolation between adjacent bands is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna resonates at multiple frequencies with corresponding center frequencies of 2.35, 4.92, 5.75, 6.52, and 8.46 GHz. The intended functionality is achieved by introducing a circular disc radiator with five slots and a U-shaped slot in the feed. The proposed antenna exhibits coverage of the maximum set of wireless applications, such as satellite communication, worldwide interoperability for microwave access, wireless local area network (WLAN), long-distance radio telecommunications, and X-band/Satcom wireless applications. The simulation and measurement results of the proposed fabricated antenna demonstrate the high isolation between adjacent bands. A stable realized gain with an advantageous radiation pattern is achieved at the operating frequency bands. The proposed simple design, compact structure, and simple feeding technique make this antenna suitable for integration in several wireless communication applications, where the portability of devices is a significant concern. The proposed antenna is anticipated to be an appropriate candidate for WLAN, long-term evolution, and fifth-generation mobile communication because of its multi-operational bands and compact size for handheld devices.
