A Compact Microstrip Slot Triple-Band Antenna for WLAN/WiMAX Applications

Compact triband ACS-fed monopole antenna employing open-ended slots for WLAN/WiMAX applications

“…A prototype of the proposed triband antenna is fabricated and measured, and its photograph is shown in Figure 5 Table 2, comparisons of the proposed antenna with those presented in [9][10][11][12] and [14][15] on antenna dimensions are given. Significant reduction in size has been achieved with our antenna design.…”

“…Thus, different types of multiband antennas have been proposed to cater various user requirements, such as [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. For example, a dual-band coplanar patch antenna integrated with an electromagnetic bandgap substrate is reported in [1], a dual-wideband printed T-shaped monopole antenna is proposed for WLAN and WiMAX applications [2], a compact ring monopole antenna with double meander lines is proposed for WLAN applications [3], a couple dual-U-shaped antenna is presented for WiMAX triband operation [4].…”

“…A compact triband planar monopole antenna suitable for WLAN and WiMAX is presented [5], the antenna consists of a L-shaped microstrip feedline and open-ended slot on the ground plane is proposed for WLAN/WiMAX applications [6], miniature triband CPWfed monopole antenna embedded with dual U-shaped slot is reported in [7], the antenna with simply shaped radiator element for multi-operating bands of the wireless communication systems is studied in [8]. Furthermore, some compact antennas for WLAN/WiMAX applications have been presented in [9][10][11][12]. However, the antennas mentioned above have either complex structure or large size, which are not suitable for the portable wireless terminals with limited space.…”

Design of Dual Band Double T- Monopole Antenna for Wlan Operation

“…Dual band L-shaped Microstrip patch antenna [4] is printed on a FR-4 substrate for WLAN systems, and achieves a frequency range fro m 5.0GHz to 6.0 GHz. A co mpact rectangular patch antenna [5] has been presented for Wi-MAX and W LAN application. This antenna has compact, cost effective, simple structure and suitable for all frequency bands of Wi-MAX and WLAN applicat ions.…”

Compact triple-band monopole antenna for WLAN/WiMAX applications

“…Various antennas have been developed to achieve multiband function. For example, the microstrip slot antenna was presented for WLAN and WiMAX applications [1]. The triple-band antenna with three circular-arc-shaped strips was proposed to create multiband functions [2].…”
