Abstract :
A small and wideband antenna for dual band (2.4/5.2 GHz bands) operation is presented. The proposed antenna has a shorting post and slits to miniaturize the size of patch. The bandwidth in the low frequency band (the 2.4 GHz band) increases as the length of the shorting post between the upper and lower patches increases. The lengths of the square patch of the proposed antenna are around 0.10lambda2.45GHz and 0.21lambda5.25GHz. The bandwidths are 5.2% and 11.0% in the 2.4G Hz and 5.2 GHz bands, respectively.
