A monopole antenna operated at 2.45 GHz and embedded with artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) for wearable communication systems is investigated in this article. The proposed antenna is composed of a metalized loop radiator with a coplanar waveguide microstrip feedline which is affixed on a cotton fabric material substrate. As well, a cotton-based AMC surface is utilized to eliminate the body's absorbed radiation and enhance the gain of the antenna. It is composed of 5 × 5 array unit cells etched with I-shaped slots. Using this configuration, simulations show that the specific absorption rate (SAR) level was significantly reduced. Considering flat and rounded body parts, it was found that the SAR values averaged over 10 g at a distance of 1 mm away from the tissues model were only 0.18 W/kg and 0.371 W/kg, respectively. Additionally, the antenna gain was improved up to 7.2 dBi with an average radiation efficiency of 72%. Detailed analysis with experimental measurements of the cotton-based antenna for different operation scenarios is introduced. The measured data show a good correlation with the electromagnetic simulation results.

In this paper, two ultra-wideband monopoles in a colinear structure are presented for application in remote terrestrial communication systems. The antennas consist of a loaded monopole with a hat and an elevated loaded monopole located in the upper position. All lumped loads are modeled as linear frequency-dependent components to approximate the practical component property for achieving ultra-wideband characteristics, since the constant value property of a component is only present in a relatively narrow band.

This paper proposes a 2-D fully polarized Van Atta array, which consists of four tri-polarized antenna elements. The tri-polarized antenna element comprises a monopole antenna and a low-profile microstrip antenna that widens the beam by folding four electric walls. This configuration enables the Van Atta arrays to receive and transmit arbitrarily polarized incident waves over a wider range.

Article Synopsis
- - The study introduces a circularly-polarized planar monopole antenna designed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications, utilizing characteristic mode analysis (CMA) to achieve broader bandwidths.
- - A crescent-shaped radiator and circular open-loop antenna initially had limited performance in achieving wideband characteristics; modifications like a triangular slit and L-shaped strip were added to improve the axial ratio bandwidth substantially.
- - The final design boasts a compact size and impressive performance metrics, including a -10 dB S bandwidth of 5.73-10.78 GHz, a 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 6-11.12 GHz, and effective gain and efficiency, demonstrating strong omnidirectional radiation patterns across frequencies. *

This article presents a symmetrical reduced-size eight-element MIMO antenna array with high electromagnetic isolation among radiators. The array utilizes easy-to-build techniques to cover the n77 and n78 new radio (NR) bands. It is based on an octagonal double-negative metamaterial split-ring resonator (SRR), which enables a size reduction of over 50% for the radiators compared to a conventional disc monopole antenna by increasing the slow-wave factor.
