Abstract

In this paper, a novel and compact center-fed dual-band WiFi printed antenna is presented. This antenna is designed using two different arms which correspond to the oscillation points of the dual band, and uses parasitic capacitance and U-shaped microstrip line to match and control the necessary bandwidth. The measured frequency bandwidth of this antenna is 2.3–2.61 GHz (310 MHz, 12.7%) at 2 GHz, and the high-frequency bandwidth is 4.82–5.84 GHz (1020 MHz, 19.1%) at 5 GHz, which meets the requirements for applications in global WiFi communication. This PCB antenna is double-sided, long, and narrow; its size is 7 × 45.9 × 1 mm3; it can be applied to wireless access point; and it has a near-omni-directional radiation pattern. The design, analysis, and measured results of this proposed antenna will be presented.
