Abstract

Study of a novel design of dual-band folded antenna with an L-shaped slot on the ground plane has been proposed for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The proposed antenna occupies a low profile above the ground plane. This characteristic makes it suitable for laptop PC applications. The proposed antenna can provide two impedance bands at 2.4 and 5.2/5.8 GHz, which satisfies WLAN applications. Details of the proposed antenna design and measured results are presented and discussed.
