@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10010596, title = {Design of Compact Dual-Band Planar Antenna for WLAN Systems }, author = {Anil Kumar Pandey}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {A compact planar monopole antenna with dual-band operation suitable for wireless local area network (WLAN) application is presented in this paper. The antenna occupies an overall area of 18 ×12 mm2. The antenna is fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line and it combines two folded strips, which radiates at 2.4 and 5.2 GHz. In the proposed antenna, by optimally selecting the antenna dimensions, dual-band resonant modes with a much wider impedance matching at the higher band can be produced. Prototypes of the obtained optimized design have been simulated using EM solver. The simulated results explore good dual-band operation with -10 dB impedance bandwidths of 50 MHz and 2400 MHz at bands of 2.4 and 5.2 GHz, respectively, which cover the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN operating bands. Good antenna performances such as radiation patterns and antenna gains over the operating bands have also been observed. The antenna with a compact size of 18×12×1.6 mm3 is designed on an FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4. }, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {13}, number = {7}, year = {2019}, pages = {516 - 523}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10010596}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/151}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 151, 2019}, }
