Abstract :
A simple electromagnetically coupled wide band printed microstrip antenna having a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of 38% covering the 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN, HIPERLAN2 and HiSWANa communication bands is presented. The large bandwidth is obtained by adding a rectangular metal strip on a slotted square microstrip antenna. The antenna occupies an overall dimension of 42 ?? 55 ?? 3.2 mm3 when printed on a substrate of dielectric constant 4. It exhibits good radiation characteristics and moderate gain in the entire operating band. Details of the design along with experimental and simulation results are presented and discussed.
