Abstract :
A novel compact planar antenna is presented for dual band applications in this paper. The proposed antenna has Dumbbell shaped defect on the ground plane and it is fed by Asymmetric coplanar strip waveguide. The antenna is printed on FR4 epoxy substrate and it has compact size of 21mm × 15.35mm × 1.6 mm. The antenna exhibit two wide band resonance at 3.72GHz and 5.85 GHz which is used for WiMAX /WLAN/HYPERLAN2/RFID. The planar design, simple feeding technique and compactness make it easy for the integration of the antenna into circuit boards. Details of the antenna design and simulated results are presented and discussed. Simulation tool, based on the method of moments (ZELAND IE3D version 12) has been used to analyze and optimize the antenna. Various features such as compactness, simple configuration and low fabrication cost make the antenna suitable for wireless applications.
