Abstract
The design of hexagonal shaped patch antenna with a narrow slot for wireless local area network (WLAN) is reported here. The slot oriented at 450, in order to achieve left-hand circular polarization (LHCP). The ground is defected by cross-shaped slots oriented at 00 and 450 in order to improve the axial ratio beam width of the patch antenna. The antenna achieves reflection coefficient bandwidth (S11 ≤ 10 dB) of 6.25% (4.9–5.2 GHz) with a center frequency of 5 GHz and gives a gain of about 4.81 dB. The antenna designed is appropriate for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application. A parametric analysis of ground plane slot dimension and orientation for achieving improved axial ratio beam width is carried.
