Ghaffar, ALi, XJSeet, B-C2018-11-252018-11-252018-08-082018-08-08The 2018 IEEE 7th Asia-Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation (APCAP), Auckland, New Zealand, 5 - 8 August 2018.https://hdl.handle.net/10292/12067This paper presents a compact planar monopole antenna with dual-band operation suitable for wireless local area network (WLAN) application. The antenna occupies an overall area of 18 × 12 mm2. The antenna combines two folded strips is fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line, which radiates at 2.4 and 5.2 GHz. Prototypes of the obtained optimized design have been simulated using HFSS. The simulated results show good dual-band operation with -10 dB impedance bandwidths of 50 MHz and 2400 MHz at bands of 2.4 and 5.2 GHz, respectively, which covers the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN operating bands.NOTICE: this is the author’s version of a work that was accepted for publication.
