Abstract

AbstractA compact 2‐element antenna for MIMO applications with performance across the WLAN frequency bands is designed and fabricated on paper with a FUJI Film Dimatix 2800 material printer and conductive ink. This antenna is ∼1.1 cm × 3.5 cm and utilizes co‐planar feeding techniques and ground design to allow for resonance in the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequency bands with a minimum 800‐MHz bandwidth. The design is established using commercially available products for minimal processing. Factors such as ink handling, printing conditions, and paper selection are discussed qualitatively as they relate to antenna fabrication and performance. Successful simulation and fabrication is reported with low correlation, high isolation, and low reflection.
