Abstract
We present the design of a dual-band slot antenna with high gain for wireless local area network (WLAN) covering the IEEE802.11a/b and IEEE802.116d/e standards. The antenna consists of a feed line with a complementary strip-slot pair and a parasitic slot-element and has a size of $57\times 40 mm^{2}$ . The antenna is combined with a single-band artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) surface to achieve a unidirectional radiation pattern with an average gain of 9.6 dBi. The size of the antenna with the AMC reflector is $68\times 53 mm^{2}$ . The proposed antenna was designed and simulated. The simulation results show that the antenna operates from 2.39 – 2.50 GHz and 4.90 – 5.97 GHz, which covers the 2.4, 5.2 and 5.8 GHz WLAN bands. It has a directional radiation pattern with peak gains of 7.5, 10.3 and 10.9 dBi at 2.4, 5.2 and 5.8 GHz, respectively.
