Abstract

A novel, tri-band, planar plate-type antenna made of a compact metal plate for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications in the 2.4 GHz (2400-2484 MHz), 5.2 GHz (5150-5350 MHz), and 5.8 GHz (5725-5825 MHz) bands is presented. The antenna was designed in a way that the operating principle included the dipole and the loop resonant modes to cover the 2.4/5.2 and 5.8 GHz bands respectively. The antenna comprised a larger radiating arm and a smaller loop radiating arm, which were connected to each other at the signal ground point. The antenna can easily be fed by using a 50 Q mini-coaxial cable and shows good radiation performance.
