Hexa-Band CPW Bow-Tie Aperture Antenna and its Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) applications

Abstract

A hexa-band Bowtie Antenna for Wi-Fi applications and others is proposed. The antenna operates at six frequency bands: 2.4, 4.5, 6.1, 8.5, 10 and 12.6 GHz. The antenna is loaded with six metallic strips in order to obtain five frequency bands and loaded with interconnected parasitic rectangular components located near to the edge of the right side of the antenna to obtain the sixth frequency, i.e. Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz. The metallic strips to the left and right of the feed line are fixed in height while the width changes by the same amount. The presented HFSS simulations will show that the loaded antenna can operate at six frequency bands including the Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz by obtaining the return loss results, radiation patterns and other antenna parameters.
