A compact T-shaped antenna for dual-band WLAN communications

Abstract

In this paper, a new design of a compact T shaped microstrip antenna for multioperating bands of wireless communication systems is presented. The proposed antenna has the multiband measured performances covering 2.4 GHz band WLAN (2.4–2.484GHz), and the 5-GHz band WLAN (5.15–5.35/5.725–5.825 GHz). Several properties of the proposed compact antenna for multiband operation such as impedance bandwidth, radiation pattern, and measured gain have been numerically and experimentally investigated.
