In this paper, a compact CPW-fed antenna for 5 GHz (5.15-5.35 GHz, 5.725-5.825 GHz) band WLAN applications is presented. The designed antenna's shape is step structure. The antenna is fabricated and measured into FR-4 substrate of dielectric comstant 4.2 and thickness 1.0 mm with optimized parameters obtained by simulation. We confirm that it is operated as antenna for WLAN applications by obtaining the measured return loss level of < -10 dB in 5.133-5.982 GHz. The dimensions of the antenna ($20.0{\times}16.0{\times}1.0mm^3$) shows an compactness of about 67.17% with respect to a conventional folded slot antenna.

In this paper, we propose a novel single-feed dual-band circular polarization square patch antenna for GPS(global positioning system)/DMB(digital multimedia broadcasting) receiver. The proposed antenna has folded slots at the 4 corners and a diagonal slot at the center of the square patch. The measured -10 dB impedance bandwidths of the proposed antenna were 84 MHz ranging from 1.516 GHz to 1.600 GHz for the low frequency band(GPS) and 109 MHz ranging from 2.596 GHz to 2.705 GHz for the high frequency band(DMB). The measured peak linear antenna gains of the proposed antenna were 6.23 dBi at 1.575 GHz for GPS and 6.97 dBi at 2.642 GHz for DMB band.
