Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>In this article, we present the design of a dual‐band (3.5 and 5.8 GHz), meandered monopole antenna for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)/Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) applications, which is fed by an asymmetric coplanar strip (ACS). The proposed antenna is comprised of an asymmetric ground plane, an ACS‐fed structure, and coupled meandered monopole‐type of radiating elements that are designed to provide the two desired operation bands, namely 3.5 and 5.8 GHz. The two resonance frequencies of the antenna can be controlled by adjusting the dimensions of the radiating elements, namely the two meandered monopoles, and the gap between them which controls the coupling. The designed antenna has a small size, which is only 20 × 12 mm² including the ground plane. Simulated and measured results are presented to demonstrate that the proposed dual‐band antenna is well suited for WLAN and WiMAX applications. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
