Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a WLAN/WiMax printed antenna executed by using microstrip feeding and matching. This antenna is constructed with a double-sided FR4 substrate with the radiator mounted on one side which contains one circle and one square element, the microstrip line fed on the other side to bring the wideband impedance match on the microstrip line and perform the dual and wide band effect. The frequency bands can meet the applications at 802.11b/g/n/a/p/h, 2.4-2.497GHz (Worldwide), 4.9-5.1GHz (Japan), 5.15-5.35/5.47-5.725/5.725-5.875GHz, 5.86-5.925GHz (America) and the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) M2300T-01/02 2.3-2.4GHz, M2500T-01 2.496-2.696GHz, M3500T-02/03/05 3.4-3.6GHz, M3500T-01/04 3.4-3.8GHz. In this paper, the evaluation from the simulations and experiments reveals the dual and wide band antenna still have good radiation quality.
