Abstract
AbstractIn this article, a dual‐band WLAN/ultrawideband (UWB) printed wide slot microstrip‐fed antenna is presented for multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO)/diversity applications.The proposed antenna consists of a U‐shaped patch, a T‐shaped monopole path, and a pentagonal wide slot in the ground plane. The antenna is designed to cover both the WLAN (2.4–2.485 GHz) and UWB (3.1–10.6 GHz) ranges, with value of S11 below −10 dB. The antenna is constructed on a FR4 substrate with overall dimensions of 28 × 28 × 1 mm3. It is shown that the proposed dual‐band antenna is suitable for diversity polarization applications. The simulation results show that the different configurations of the antenna in the MIMO/diversity have good S‐parameters over the operating frequency bands. The simulation and measured results of the proposed dual‐band antenna as well as that of the MIMO/diversity antenna configuration agree well. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
