Abstract

This paper presents a dual wideband slot antenna for WLAN/WiMAX operation. The proposed antenna consists of a radiating pentagonal slot and an exciting two-circle stack patch with a CPW feed. The input impedance matching has been also improved by inserting two slot stubs at the central feed line. The measurement results show the frequency range from 2.3 to 3.75 GHz of the first band and from 4.8 to 6.5 GHz of the second band, which are adequate wide bandwidths for WLAN/WiMAX operations. The radiation patterns of the proposed antenna are nearly omnidirectional in xz plane for all frequency bands. Therefore, this antenna is a good candidate for various short range wireless communication applications.
