Abstract :
A planar two-branch diversity antenna using a simple printed dual band double-T monopole is proposed for use in ISM band at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. A prototype of the proposed antenna has been constructed and tested. The measured results are in good agreement with the computed ones from simulation, while the antenna acquires favorable characteristics such as reduced size and extended bandwidth
