Abstract

This research presents the design and implementation of a dual-band patch antenna (DBPA) optimized for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The antenna features a modified rectangular patch with a cut corner and two parasitic rectangular patches, enabling dual-band operation with enhanced gain. The DBPA is fed by a 50-Ohm coplanar waveguide and fabricated on a single-layer copper circuit board using a flame-retardant 4 substrate with a relative permittivity of 4.3 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. A prototype with compact dimensions of 0.040×0.040×0.0009 λ³ was constructed and experimentally evaluated. Measurements reveal a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern, achieving peak gains of 2.92 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 4.25 dBi at 5 GHz. The antenna demonstrates a wide 10 dB return loss bandwidth of 67.7% (1.7–3.44 GHz) for the lower band and 56% (4.59–8.16 GHz) for the upper band. The strong agreement between simulated and measured results validates the design’s potential for practical and scalable implementation. This DBPA design offers a simpler, more compact, and wider-bandwidth alternative to conventional antennas, making it ideal for modern WLAN systems.

Abstract

This paper introduces a compact, low-profile, five-band antenna for wireless communication systems operating across 2.4/5 GHz WLAN, 3.5 GHz WiMax, and 7.5 GHz X- and Ku-band frequencies. The proposed antenna utilizes a novel configuration with a dual-overlapping rectangular patch coupled to a wide circular slot and an inverted L-shaped strip. Fabricated on a single-layer FR4 substrate (εr=4.3, thickness=1.6 mm), the antenna employs a 50-ohm coplanar waveguide feed, resulting in a compact footprint of 40×40×1.6 mm³. Experimental measurements and simulations demonstrate a bidirectional radiation pattern covering five distinct frequency bands: 2.4-2.485 GHz, 3.4-3.6 GHz, 5.15-5.825 GHz, 7.25-8.4 GHz, and 13.4-17.7 GHz. The antenna exhibits a return loss better than 10 dB across all bands and provides average gains of 1.78 dBi, 3.04 dBi, 3.4 dBi, 4.27 dBi, and 4.46 dBi, respectively. These results confirm the successful development of a five-band antenna with excellent performance characteristics, making it a promising candidate for 2.4/5 GHz WLAN, WiMax, and X- and Ku-band satellite communications, with automotive vehicles being one example.
