Abstract :
This paper displays a new compact monopole antenna of dual band for WLAN/WiMAX applications. The designed antenna has very small size of 30×20 square millimeter. U-shaped patch printed on FR-4 substrate. Adding two parasitic elements on the ground plane which give a good performance at the two operating frequencies 2.4 GHz and 3.5 GHz. The return loss is -21.71 dB at the operating frequency 2.4 GHz with bandwidth 237 MHz (2.276-2.513 GHz) and -24.24 dB at the operating frequency 3.5 GHz with bandwidth 505 MHz (3.328-3.834 GHz) S11<; -10 dB for the two bandwidths. The designed antenna has a low profile, low cost and simple feeding using microstrip line feed.
