    Analysis of a printed X-Shaped monopole antenna
    (IEEE, 2017) Dehmas, Mokrane; Hamza, A. A.; Challal, Mouloud; Benmahdjoub, I.; Azrar, A.; Djafri, K.; Mouhouche, Faiza
    This paper presents a study of a printed X-shaped monopole antenna. The analysis has started from considering a strip fed conventional single band Rectangular Microstrip Antenna (RMSA) resonating at 2.45 GHz commonly used in WLAN applications. The antenna has been transformed to a monopole structure that has yielded a larger bandwidth. In the second part, triangular slots were introduced to the RMSA to obtain an X-shaped antenna and their effects were investigated. An X-shaped monopole structure presenting a bandwidth of 3.39 GHz (1.96-5.35 GHz) has been obtained. The analysis suggested a possibility of performing size reduction. This part resulted in a final X-shaped monopole printed structure with an enhanced bandwidth of 6.2 GHz (1.8-8.0 GHz) and a significant external size reduction of 55.48 %. The final antenna which can be used in various applications (WLAN, Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, LTE 4G, surveillance systems, medical imaging, etc.) has been fabricated and its reflection coefficient measured. Good agreement was noticed between the simulated and measured results.

    Compact dual-band reject UWB monopole antenna using EBG structures
    (IEEE, 2017) Mouhouche, Faiza; Azrar, A.; Dehmas, Mokrane; Djafri, K.
    In this paper, a compact dual band notched UWB monopole antenna is presented for WiMAX and X-band satellite applications. Dual band rejection characteristics are achieved by engraving the complementary hexagonal spit ring metamaterial on the radiating element and two modified mushrooms-like EBG structure above the ground plane on the vicinity of feed line. The antenna prototype is fabricated and tested. A good agreement between the simulated and measured results. The radiation pattern and time domain of the proposed design are relatively stable

    Design a Compact UWB Monopole Antenna with Triple Band-Notched Characteristics Using EBG Structures
    (2018) Mouhouche, Faiza; Azrar, A.; Dehmas, Mokrane; Djafri, K.
    in this paper, a compact ultra-wideband (UWB)monopole antenna with triple band-notched characteris-tics is presented. These triple band rejections are pro-duced by inserting the Complementary Co-directionalSplit-Ring Resonator (CC.SRR) on the radiating elementfor WiMAX/WLAN (3.4–3.95 GHz/5.35–5.9 GHz) andElectromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure in the vicinityof transmission line for X-band satellite communications(6.7–7.7 GHz). The proposed antenna with a total size of18 × 20.9 × 1.63 mm3has been constructed and tested. Anequivalent RLC circuit model is proposed and investi-gated. The simulated and measured results show thatthe proposed antenna has an impedance bandwidth(VSWR < 2) extanding from 3.05 GHz to 14 GHz with triplenotched bands of [3.3–3.9 GHz], [5.25–5.86 GHz] and [6.7–7.7 GHz]. The triple band notched characteristics and thegood radiation patterns make the proposed antenna agood candidate for the UWB applications

    Gain improvement of CPW-Fed monopole antenna over dual-band AMC structure
    (IEEE, 2017) Mouhouche, Faiza; Azrar, A.; Dehmas, M.; Djafri, K.
    A CPW rectangular-ring antenna over an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) is presented in this work. The AMC is designed as a dual-band structure having an array of unit cells and operates at 2.45GHz and 5.20 GHz. A CPW antenna uses this dual-band AMC structures as a back-plane. Performance comparison is carried out with and without the incorporation of AMC. The simulated and measured results show that the combination of the AMC reflector and the antenna provide directional properties at both frequency bands. It has been found that the antenna gain increases by about 5 dB
