Abstract

The proposed multi-resonant monopole antenna has a compact design and operates between 2.9 and 6 GHz, effectively covering the full 5G sub-6 GHz spectrum (N77/N78/N79) as well as WLAN frequency ranges. This Miniaturized Multi-resonance Monopole Planar Antenna (MMMPA), having dimensions 25 × 16 × 1.6 mm³ (L x W x h), is ideally suited for wireless communication devices and systems. The antenna achieves triple resonances, encompassing the frequency bands from 2.9 to 6 GHz, through an inventive construction consisting of rectangular patch, U slots, key-shaped slots, split ring resonators, and annular rings forming an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure. A strong degree of agreement and correlation amongst the simulation and measurement findings attests to the antenna's dependable operation. Even though the patch size was reduced by around 65%.
