Design of a dual band frequency reconfigurable monopole antenna using a circular split ring resonator for Wi-Fi and Wi-Max applications

Abstract

This paper highlights the proposed design for a Dual band Fractal Monopole antenna using a Circular Split Ring Resonator and fed through a 50Ω inset feed over the Rogers RT/Duroid 5880tm substrate for the Wi-Fi and Wi-Max applications. The proposed antenna resonates at Wi-Fi frequency (2.4 GHz) and the Wi-Max frequency (3.5GHz). The proposed Antenna resulted in a Gain of 0.14dBi for 2.4GHz and 2.9dBi for 3.5GHz. The results were validated by the Antenna simulation tool Ansoft HFSS™ version15.0.
