Abstract :
A slotted meander-line antenna geometry for GSM/ISM application is presented. The novelty of design is obtained by creating G shaped meander line with partial ground plane. In this paper we propose two design, first resonating at GSM 900 MHz band and the other design with conventional reduction in the size of meander antenna with size reduction 30% as compared to design 1 resonating in dual band GSM 1900 MHz and ISM 2.4GHz band with change in the substrate thickness and constant. The proposed Antenna design is carried out in HFSS and fabricated in FR4 (2.4) epoxy substrate measuring a return loss of -18.724 and VSWR 1.26 for design 1 in GSM 900 MHz band with gain of -3.14dB and measuring return loss -14.74 and -10.80 in 1800MHz and 2.4 GHz band with gain -3.521 dB respectively.
