Abstract :
A novel dual-band antenna that can be used for all relevant Wireless-LAN standards, IEEE 802.11a, b, and g, is presented. The proposed antenna is compact, cost-effectively and precisely to manufacture, with an omnidirectional pattern and a sufficient bandwidth for all of the above mentioned WLAN standards. This printed antenna might be a choice for nowadays or future multi-band, multi-mode WLAN applications. The performance was simulated using commercial FDTD tools, and validated with measurements on fabricated prototypes.
