Summary:
Configurations of planar rotated cross monopole antennas have been investigated. The rotated cross patch comprises a vertical microstrip and three rectangular patches (area A, B, and C). By rotating the horizontal patches (area B and C), the bandwidth of the antenna can be significantly enhanced. The effect of the rotated angle of B and C on the bandwidth has been studied. The measured results show that The bandwidth of impedance bandwidth (10-dB reflection coefficient) is as wide as 6.97 GHz (2.29?9.26 GHz) or about 120.6% . which is about two times that of the corresponding conventional cross monopole antenna. The proposed antenna has a ultra-wide bandwidth which can cover DECT/IMT-2000/3G/UMTS/2.45- GHz/5.2-GHz/5.8-GHz ISM band (WLAN, IEEE 802.11b and g)/ Bluetooth/ZigBee 2.4 GHz/2.5-GHz WiMAX/3.5-GHz WiMAX bands.
