A Novel Dual-band Antenna Based on Liquid Crystal Polymer

Abstract

A flexible dual-band antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN)/ worldwide interoperability for microwave access (Wi-MAX)/the 5th generation mobile communication network (5G)/the satellite communication system applications is proposed. The antenna is constructed on the liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate with a thickness of 0.1 mm and consists of a ring-shaped radiation patch and a circular patch to achieve a dual-band performance. The simulated −10dB bandwidths for S11 are 0.41GHz (2.15–2.56GHz) and 5.97GHz (3.28–9.25GHz), covering WLAN/Wi-MAX/5G and the satellite communication system bands.
