Compact and Planar Monopole Antenna for WLAN and WiMAX Applications
Keywords:
Dual-band antenna, monopole antenna, split-ring elements, WiMAX, WLANAbstract
A novel compact dual-band monopole antenna for WLAN and WiMAX applications is presented. The antenna is fed by a microstrip feed line and consists of two side-by-side split-ring structure as the radiating element. The proposed antenna is compact in size and provides 25.5% and 11.8% dual band performance covering 2.4/5.2 GHz WLAN and 2.5/2.7 GHz WiMAX bands, respectively. Also, the antenna exhibits uniform radiation patterns at each frequency band in both E- and H-planes. Comparison of simulated and measured results of return losses, radiation patterns and gains of the antenna are provided.
