Abstract

A compact dual-band printed wire antenna for applications in wireless communications is presented. An additional shorted parasitic element to the F-shaped wire antenna is introduced to achieve a dual-band operation. As an example, a new antenna was designed and fabricated for wireless local area network applications that operate in the 2.4 and 5.2/5.8GHz bands. The prototyped antenna offered two separate measured impedance bandwidths of 700 (2.35-3.05GHz) and 2150MHz (3.95-6.1GHz), for a return loss less than -10dB. A measured antenna gain of 1.78-1.9dBi was observed across the lower band, whereas a measured antenna gain of 3.9-4.4dBi was observed across the upper band. The measured radiation patterns were stable across the passband. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2007.
