Abstract
AbstractA dual‐wideband antenna with an open L‐slot for wireless local area network (WLAN)/worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications is proposed.A rectangular radiator with an open L‐slot etched on the ground is used to cover 2.4∼3.69 GHz. To achieve dual‐band characteristic, a rectangular strip is inserted on the rectangular radiator horizontally to generate another band covering 5.15∼ 5.85 GHz. The two bands are relatively independent with each other. Experimental results show that the antenna can operate at two separate impedance bands (S11<−10 dB) of 1330 MHz (2.37∼ 3.70 GHz) and 1140 MHz (4.95∼ 6.09 GHz), which can cover all the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN bands and the 2.5/3.5/5.5 WiMAX bands. Detailed design steps and experimental results are studied and investigated in this article. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
