Planar Compact U-Shaped Patch Antenna with High-Gain Operation for Wi-Fi/WiMAX ApplicationAbstract
A planar inverted U-shaped patch antenna with high-gain operation applied for WLAN/WiMAX access point or base station has been proposed and investigated. It provides relatively wider impedance bandwidth of 180 MHz covering the operating bandwidth for WLAN/WiMAX system. The proposed planar patch antenna also provides the directional radiation patterns with maximum antenna peak gain and efficiency of 8.0 dBi and 80% across the operating band, respectively. Only with the antenna size of 44 × 35 × 4.0 mm3, the proposed patch antenna has the compact operation with more than 13% antenna size reduction.
