CPW-fed dual dipole antenna for WLAN communication

Abstract

A compact printed dual dipole structure with CPW-fed for WLAN operations is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna, which consists of dual dipole strips, has modified monopole and modified strips by the ground plane. The proposed antenna has been obtained good radiation characteristics. This antenna is effectively covered 5 GHz (5.15–5.825 GHz) bands. The measured peak gain is 2.8 dBi at 5.32 GHz. Effects of varying the monopole dimensions and the ground-plane size on the antenna performance have been studied.
