Design and Fabrication of Dual-band Compact Monopole Antenna with Two Branches for Wi-Fi Mobile Applications

Abstract

This letter describes a dual-band compact monopole antenna with two branches for Wi-Fi applications. The proposed antenna is based on a planar monopole design, and composed of two branches of radiating patches for dual-band operation. The ground size of the antenna matches the ground size of a typical hand-held cellular phone for improved compatibility with mobile phone printed circuit boards. The antenna is designed using a simulator and fabricated with optimized parameters. The fabricated antenna is measured at the lower and higher operating frequencies, and the return loss coefficient, gain, and radiation patterns are determined. 키워드 dual-band antenna, two branches, monopole antenna, Wi-Fi application 이중대역 안테나, 두개 브랜치, 모노폴 안테나, 와이파이 응용
