Abstract

A planar monopole antenna that was developed for WLAN/WiMAX application is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna with three strips, an asymmetrical ground plane, and a rectangular slit in the ground is designed to cover the popular frequency spectrum of WLAN (wireless local area network) bands and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) bands. The proposed antenna, which is capable of wideband operation, is fed by a strip line and fabricated on an FR-4 substrate. The obtained numerical results agree well with the experiment data. It was validated that the configuration can meet the demands for the WLAN/WiMAX systems and effectively enhanced the impedance bandwidth to 9.95% for the lower band and 76.05% for the upper band for VSWR < 1 : 2. This paper also presents and discusses the 2D radiation patterns and 3D gains according to the results of the experiment.

본 논문은 WLAN/WiMAX 시스템에 적용 가능한 평면형 모노폴 안테나를 개발하였다. 제안된 안테나는 3개의 선로, 비대칭 접지면 그리고 접지면에 사각 슬릿을 가지며 WLAN 대역과 WiMAX 대역을 모두 포함하도록 설계하였다. 광대역 특성을 갖도록 선로 급전을 사용하였으며 RF-4 기판위에 제작되었다. 얻어진 시뮬레이션 결과는 실험결과와 잘 일치되었으며 VSWR 1 : 2을 기준으로 낮은 대역에서는 9.95%, 높은 대역에서는 76.05%의 임피던스 대역폭을 얻었다. 이러한 결과는 WLAN/WiMAX 시스템에서 요구하는 특성을 잘 만족시킨다. 또한 2D 그리고 3D 방사패턴과 이득에 측정결과가 제시되고 논의되었다.
