A compact bandwidth enhanced antenna loaded with SRR for WLAN/WiMAX/satellite applications

Abstract

A compact bandwidth enhanced antenna using Split Ring Resonator (SRR) for WLAN/WiMAX/Satellite applications is presented. As the wireless modules continue to shrink, there exists a drastic demand for a compact antenna. In addition to this, the effective integration of an antenna in wireless devices acts as stand-alone implement to mitigate the effects of noise fading. The presented antenna consists of a split ring resonator, two C-shaped slot and a coaxial feed. Compactness in the design is achieved with the help of coaxial feeding technique. The etching of SRR creates a resonance at 6 GHz (WLAN) band, with S11
