Abstract

This paper describes a novel dual-band patch antenna on organic magnetic substrate for wireless local area networks (WLAN) wireless communication (at 2.4 and 5 GHz). The dual-band operation is obtained by embedding a pair of L-shaped slots. The magnetic material is adopted because the substrate can reduce the size of antenna 40%, comparing with rectangular microstrip antennas on normal dielectric substrate, and have wider bandwidths for both bands. Details of the proposed antenna design are presented and discussed, which can be a candidate for the requirement of WLAN, operating in 2.4 and 5 GHz.
