Abstract

This article describes the design and manufacturing of a dual-band miniaturized printed monopole antenna for WiFi, wireless local area network and worldwide interoperability for microwave access applications. The developed antenna is constituted of a rectangular radiating element with an elliptical slot printed on a FR-4 substrate and powered by CPW feed technique. The overall area of the designed antenna is 20 × 35mm2. The dual-band characteristic is achieved by inserting an elliptical slot in the radiator and rectangular and circular slots in the ground plane. To demonstrate the validity of the simulation outcomes, the proposed antenna was fabricated and tested using E5071C VNA, and the experimental outcomes illustrate that the developed antenna provides dual bands: 2.36–2.45 GHz resonating at 2.4 GHz and 3.2–6.29 GHz resonating at 3.8 and 5.5 GHz. Additionally, the recommended antenna has a high peak gain of 3.38 dB and a peak radiation efficiency of 98% percent. Furthermore, the stated design is a suitable applicant for the broadband communication.
