Abstract

AbstractA novel coaxial‐line‐fed flat‐plate dipole antenna for WLAN operation in the 2.4 GHz band is presented. The dipole antenna is rectangular in shape and can easily be fabricated by stamping a metal plate at low cost. The two radiating arms of the dipole antenna are first bent into a compact structure with the dimensions 10 mm × 38 mm and further short‐circuited with a narrow shorting strip, which allows the antenna to be obtained from one single, stamped metal plate only. In addition, good impedance matching for 2.4 GHz operation can also be achieved by controlling the distance between the feeding points and the shorting strip. The design prototype of the antenna is elaborated and discussed in detail in the article. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
