Abstract

In this paper, a wideband planar dipole antenna is proposed. Compared to conventional dipole antennas, this antenna has wideband impedance matching, simple structure and compact size. From EM simulations, dimensions of antennas are chosen for better performance. For verification, this newly proposed structure is fabricated and measured. It is shown that return loss of the antenna between 2.5 GHz and 8.0 GHz is better than -10 dB.
