Abstract :
A novel compact printed antenna of planar monopole type for WLAN applications is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The proposed antenna fed by a 50-Omega microstrip line covers the WLAN frequency bands: 2.4 GHz (2400-2484 MHz) for IEEE 802.11b/g, 5 GHz (5150-5825 MHz) for IEEE 802.11a, within return loss S11 < - 10 dB. The proposed antenna has compact size of 13 times 20 mm2, which is suitable for integrating in small size devices, such as mobile handsets. Numerical results of return loss and radiation pattern are shown, which have been calculated by resorting a computer code based on the method of moments technique.
