Abstract:This paper presents a novel printed monopole antenna for quad-band operation in four WLAN bands: ISM 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.6 GHz, and ISM 5.8 GHz. This antenna is compact, thin, lightweight, easy to manufacture, and suitable for portable devices. It is composed of a folded strip radiator and two parasitic strips printed on a partially grounded substrate. The folded strip radiator interacts with the parasitic strips, which are connected to the ground plane, in such a way as to produce the resonant modes that orig… Show more
