Abstract

In the present study, a microstrip-fed monopole antenna is proposed for wireless local area network (WLAN) operations which cover dual band of 2.4 GHz (2.4 ~ 2.484 GHz) and 5 GHz (5.15 ~ 5.825 GHz). In order to obtain its compact structure and good omnidirectional radiation patterns, a modified inverted L-shaped slot separated from ground for impedance matching in 5 GHz band is etched on 2.4 GHz printed monopole antenna. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on a FR4 substrate with dielectric constant 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm, and size of $30{\times}45mm^2$. The measured impedance bandwidths (${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}{\leq}-10dB$) of fabricated antenna are 270 MHz (2.22 ~ 2.48 GHz) in 2.4 GHz band and 890 MHz (5.08 ~ 5.97 GHz) in 5 GHz band respectively. In particular, high gain of more than about 4 dBi and good omnidirectional radiation patterns have been observed over the entire frequency band of interest.

본 논문에서는 무선랜 2.4 GHz 대역 (2.4 ~ 2.484 GHz), 및 5 GHz 대역의 (5.15 ~ 5.825 GHz) 이중 대역용 마이크로 스트립 급전 인쇄형 모노폴 안테나를 제안하였다. 간결한 구조 및 우수한 무지향성 방사패턴을 얻기 위하여 2.4 GHz 모노폴 안테나에 5 GHz 대역 임피던스 정합을 위해 접지면과 이격되는 수정된 역 L-형 슬롯이 에칭된다. 제안된 안테나는 크기가 $30{\times}45mm^2$, 두께는 1.6 mm, 유전상수가 4.3인 FR4 기판에 설계 및 제작 되었다. 제안된 안테나의 제작 및 측정 결과, 임피던스 대역폭(${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}{\leq}-10dB$)이 2.4 GHz 대역에서는 270 MHz (2.22 ~ 2.48 GHz), 5 GHz 대역에서는 890 MHz (5.08 ~ 5.97 GHz)인 대역폭을 얻을 수 있었다. 특히 두 대역에서 안정되고 우수한 무지향성 방사패턴을 얻을 수 있었으며, 또한 약 4dBi 이상의 높은 이득을 얻을 수 있었다.
