Keywords:

This paper provides a fast solution for the design of a Jerusalem-cross slot antenna for arbitrarily specifying any two operating frequencies. From simulation data and measurement results, the dualresonant frequencies of the Jerusalem-cross slot antenna are found at near 5.8 and 24.0 GHz for the impedance matching with better than 15 dB return loss. It is found that the simulated and measured -10 dB bandwidths are 22.1% and 24.4% at 5.8 GHz respectively. The simulated and measured -10 dB bandwidths are 3.41% and 4.58% at 24.0 GHz, respectively. The simulated and measured results of radiation patterns in the E- and H-plane at frequencies of 5.8 and 24.0 GHz are broad and smooth. The antenna gains obtained by measurement and simulation at frequencies of 5.8 and 24.0 GHz are close to 3.0 and 6.0 dBi, respectively. This Jerusalem-cross slot antenna has a compact size with three dimensions of 22.731×7.577×0.87 mm which can be fabricated at a low cost using the standard PCB process. The compact patch antenna is suitable for applications in unlicensed frequency bands of 5.8 and 24 GHz for wireless internet applications including RFID systems, medical devices, and the internet of things (IoT).
