Abstract :
A novel printed antenna resembling a truncated sinc function is proposed for wireless communications. The proposed antenna functions either as a twisted dipole or two twisted back-to-back connected L-shape dipoles depending on the current mode. Due to the symmetry, the antenna supports an even or odd mode of current on the antenna and results in different design and performance considerations. The sinc antenna is suitable for WLAN single or dual frequency operation. Several examples of the design are discussed.
