A Novel Rectangular Slot Antenna With Embedded Self-Similar T-Shaped Strips for Wlan Applications

Abstract

Abstract-A novel rectangular slot antenna with embedded selfsimilar strips is proposed for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The proposed antenna comprises a T-shaped monopole and inverted self-similar strips embedded in the rectangular slot etched on the ground plane. The measured results of the fabricated antenna show that the impedance bandwidths (VSWR < 2) are 180 MHz from 2.36 to 2.54 GHz and 920 MHz from 5.05 to 5.97 GHz, which cover all the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN operating bands. And the radiation patterns are almost omni-directional in the azimuthal plane within the lower operating bands.

Compact Tri-Band Rectangular Meander Antenna With Asymmetrical L-Shaped Strips for Wlan/Wimax Applications

“…To meet the WLAN standards in the 2.4 GHz (2.4-2.484 GHz)/5.2 GHz (5.15-5.35 GHz)/5.8 GHz (5.725-5.825 GHz) operating bands and the WiMAX standards in the 2.5 GHz (2.4-2.6 GHz)/3.5 GHz (3.4-3.6 GHz)/5.5 GHz (5.25-5.85 GHz) bands, multiband antennas with compact size, low cost, and easy fabrication are required. Various types of multiband antenna designs have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Some of them only can fulfill the requirement of the WLAN or WiMAX band, such as the monopole antennas [1][2][3] and the slot antennas [4][5][6].…”

Some efficient methods have been discussed to enhance the impedance matching and increase the operating band of the antenna, such as etching two pairs of T-shaped slots on the ground plane [7], employing two T-shaped strips in the two circular slots [8], inserting two pairs of strips into a rectangular slot [9], and adding two pairs of planar inverted L strips to the slotted ground [10].…”

A Wideband Differential Bandpass Filter Based on T-Shaped Stubs and Single Ring Resonator

“…2(b), it can be analyzed in even-oddmode theory. T-shaped stubs have been loaded in some other circuits to improve the performances [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The presented T-shaped can be used in microstrip circuits to crate dual controllable transmission zeros for sharper skirt and some other better performances.…”
