Abstract :
A low-profile planar monopole antenna is proposed to operate within WLAN and WiMAX frequency bands. The antenna is composed of three radiating elements together with an additional strip to control the antenna performance. An electromagnetic (EM) model of the proposed antenna is developed in CST Microwave Studio for numerical analysis and optimization. The principle of operation and parametric study on the antenna performance are provided. Two dual-band and triple-band antennas are fabricated, and experimental results are presented.
