Abstract

A miniaturization design of printed dipole antenna is proposed in this paper with enhanced operating bandwidth. As an example, three designs including a printed dipole, a meander dipole and a loop meander dipole, used in the wireless communication at 2.46 GHz are presented. The parameters regarding expanding bandwidth and reducing antenna size are discussed in details. These two antennas are modeled, simulated and optimized using HFSS and CEMS. Fabrication of the antennas are also performed. The simulation results and measurements show that the method proposed in this paper make the printed dipole more compact and bandwidth efficient.
