Abstract

A novel compact printed antenna of planar monopole type for WLAN applications is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The proposed antenna fed by a 50-Omega microstrip line covers the WLAN frequency bands: 2.4 GHz (2400-2484 MHz) for IEEE 802.11b/g, 5 GHz (5150-5825 MHz) for IEEE 802.11a, within return loss S₁₁ < - 10 dB. The proposed antenna has compact size of 13 times 20 mm², which is suitable for integrating in small size devices, such as mobile handsets. Numerical results of return loss and radiation pattern are shown, which have been calculated by resorting a computer code based on the method of moments technique.
