Abstract :
This paper presents a small truncated waveguide fed by a microstrip line through a transverse coupling slot for multi-band WLAN applications. The proposed radiating element allows to obtain a high radiated power, with a very low cross-polar component in the radiated field, with a -10 dB bandwidth that covers the required frequencies for multi-band WLAN applications (5.2/5.4/5.8 GHz).
