Abstract

Design of a simple and compact dual frequency monopole antenna for applications in PCS (Personal Communication System) and Bluetooth system is presented. The first operating frequency is achieved from a traditional monopole antenna structure for the frequency of 1.9 GHz for PCS application while the second operating frequency is obtained from two spurline structures etched on the traditional monopole antenna structure for the frequency of 2.4 GHz for Bluetooth application. Both simulated and experimental results, such as reflection coefficients and VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio), are presented and discussed. The radiation pattern measurements are also performed. From the measured results, the first operating band covers between 1.851 and 1.98 GHz, and the second operating band covers between 2.28 and 2.53 GHz. The proposed antenna is compact and suitable to be used for applications in the PCS and Bluetooth system.
