Abstract :
A novel metal-plate 1×2 array antenna constructed easily from a single metal plate and suited for WLAN operation in the 5.2/5.8 GHz bands (5150-5350/5725-5875 MHz) is presented. The metal-plate array antenna comprises two radiating elements series-fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line and excited in phase, leading to a high antenna gain level (>4.0 dBi) for frequencies across the 5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN bands.
