Abstract

A tri-band dual-port CPW-fed slot antenna is designed, built and measured. The performance of the proposed antenna meets the impedance bandwidths of 802.11a/b/g bands and 3.5 GHz WiMAX band. Using shorted metal in the slots and embedding lump elements, an antenna size of 28.2 times 21.4 mm² is achieved. The proposed antenna is cost-effective, simple and compact with stable gains in all bands. These features make the proposed antenna suitable for applications of tri-band wireless communication systems.
