Abstract
An efficient electrically small planar loop antenna with capacitive feed is proposed
for WiFi applications. The feeding element of our antenna is a printed T-shaped monopole, which
is capacitively coupled to the radiating capacitively-loaded loop and good impedance matching
is achieved through the capacitive coupling mechanism. Thus the capacitive feed leads to high
radiation efficiency, gain and broad impedance bandwidth. The radiating element of the proposed
antenna is comprised of a planar printed loop with an interdigital capacitor inserted on one side
and a copper wall with height of 3 mm and thickness of 0.3 mm attached to the printed loop. The
attached wall enables the antenna occupies more volume, which lowers its Q value and contributes
to larger bandwidth. The proposed antenna exhibits a simulated −10 dB impedance bandwidth
of 190 MHz from 2.39 GHz to 2.58 GHz, which is suitable for WiFi application.
