Abstract :
A two-branch diversity antenna using a simple printed dual band double-T monopole and operating at 2.4 and 5.2 GHz in the ISM band is presented. 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 has favourable characteristics such as reduced size and extended bandwidth.
