Abstract

A compact asymmetric coplanar strip fed wide-band monopole antenna with modified L-shaped ground plane for WLAN applications is presented. The proposed antenna operating at 5.5 GHz covering IEEE802.11WLAN/RFID/HYPERLAN2. The antenna has an overall dimension of only 21 x 7.35 mm² when printed on a substrate of dielectric constant 4.4. The planar design, simple feeding technique and miniaturized size make it easy for the integration of the antenna into circuit boards. Details of the antenna design and simulated and experimental results are presented and discussed.
