Abstract :
A compact novel antenna for Bluetooth or wireless LAN applications by low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology is presented in this paper. The novel antenna is composed of stacked meander, helix structures, and multi-layer parasitic patches are employed to miniaturize the antenna. The simulated results show that the proposed antenna, having compact size of 3.2×1.6×1.2mm3, has a bandwidth of 60MHZ (VSWR<;3:1) and a maximum gain of 0.5dBi, realizes omnidirectional radiation patterns across the whole operating frequency band.
