Abstract

The ability of a single layer strip fed printed monopole, which has a serial-slot and an end-stepped feed-strip, to operate at dual Industrial, Scientific, and Medical-band (2.4 and 5.8 GHz bands) is demonstrated. This antenna combines omni-directional and broad bandwidth in an easy to fabricate structure. Experimental results indicate that the VSWR 2:1 bandwidths achieved were 8.2% and 18.2% at 2.45 GHz and 5.5 GHz. Effects of varying the serial-slot dimensions and the ground-plane size on the antenna performance are also described.
