Abstract
A novel printed monopole antenna for dual-band operation is presented. The antenna comprises a radiator having a strip and two side-loaded patches, and is fed by a microstrip feedline. By folding top one of the side-loaded patches on the other side of the substrate as well as connecting the two patches by a short pin, good antenna performances including dual wide bandwidths of 590 MHz and 1.12 GHz, high antenna gains of ≥2.5 and 3.6 dBi, and monopole-like radiation patterns over the two operating bands, respectively, are obtained. The measured results show good agreement with the simulated ones and sufficiently cover the operation requirements of the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz wireless local area network communication system. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
