Abstract :
A compact dual-band printed antenna covering the 2.4 GHz (2400-2485 MHz) and 5.2 GHz (5150-5350 MHz) WLAN bands is presented. The experimental analysis shows a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of up to 32 and 8% for 2.4 and 5.2 GHz, respectively. The measured radiation patterns are nearly omnidirectional, with moderate gain in both the WLAN bands.
