Abstract
In this paper, a novel wideband monopole antenna based on meander line ring is introduced. While the meander line ring element provides the antenna to be electrically small, coplanar waveguide feed with ground structure is used to achieve wideband performance. The design having a simple structure and low price produce a wideband performance at 2.95 GHz with % 38, thus the antenna covers frequency bands allocated for WiFi and WiMAX applications. Analysis and design of the antenna carried out by means of HFSS simulator exhibits uniform radiation pattern characteristics with high gain performance at the respective frequency bands.
