Abstract :
Abstract-A collinear printed 6-element dipole array antenna for WiMAX application is presented. By employing loop-loaded structures, the better omnidirectional coverage is achieved. The array has shown a 7.2% bandwidth (VSWR≤1.5) of center frequency at about 3.5GHz for application in WiMAX. Its performance is relatively stable with 8dBi antenna gain and about ±0.5dBi of the un-roundness on horizontal plane. Design details of the proposed antenna and the results of both simulation and experiment are presented and discussed.
