Printed monopole antennas with multiple bends for rfid wlan and uwb applications

Abstract

Printed monopole antenna PMA with the microstrip feed line are an important class of broadband antennas Because of the stripped ground plane on the back side of the substrate these classes of antennas provide large bandwidth Dual band operation can be achievable for these classes of antennas by creation of two independent resonating paths in the form of protruding stub in the ground plane and the radiating element printed on the top of the substrate The major challenge in designing these a
