Abstract

A compact dual-band printed antenna is presented and discussed for wireless local area networks (WLAN) applications in this paper. The proposed antenna is printed on a FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.3 and an overall size of 40 × 40 × 1.6 mm3 . The antenna consists of two mendering strips which locate at the top and bottom sides of the substrate, respectively. The top strip aims to generate a resonance frequency operating at 5.8 GHz WLAN band, while the bottom strip can provide another resonance for 2.4 GHz WLAN applications. Simulated results show that the proposed antenna can provide two resonance frequencies and good omnidirectional radiation patterns, making it suitable for lower and upper WLAN applications.
