Planar dual-band spiral monopole antenna

The design of planar spiral monopole antenna and the details of antenna dual-band operation are presented in this paper. One-turn spiral geometry has been implemented in order to produce two different modes of printed monopole antenna. Optimizing the antenna layout makes it possible to control the frequency bands and thus to design antennas used for different applications, such as 3G/4G mobile terminals and human BAN wireless nodes. Important information on the final-paper submission procedure is also provided.
