Abstract

The paper proposes a new antenna at 5.8 GHz with separate transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) accesses and compatible with the PCMCIA format. Moreover, in order to mitigate the multipath propagation effects, a 2-order diversity is implemented. This solution is based on printed slot type end-fire antennas. Measurement results agree well with simulations.
