Design of Multi-band U-Slot Microstrip Patch Antenna for GSM /WLAN and WiMAX Applications

EasyChair Preprint no. 354

Abstract

A simple, low-cost, and low-profile U-slotted microstrip patch antenna has been designed, fabricated, measured and implemented to operate at the three desired frequencies; 1.8GHz, 2.44GHz, 3.5GHz. In the design process, the effects of several parameters on the performance of the antenna have been studied, utilizing an international standard antenna software; CST Studio Suite.  The antenna was first measured as far as return loss, using a network analyzer, provided by a national operator and the radiation patterns were measured in-house, utilizing an antenna measurement system. The fabricated antenna was installed on a networked WiFi access point, and the average received power over a distance range was tested.

Keyphrases: Multiple-band antennas, U-slot microstrip antennas, WLAN (802.11b/g/n)
