Abstract
This communication presents the design analysis and development of a compact, dual-band, circularly polarized, multilayer antenna for global positioning system (GPS), wireless local area network (WLAN), and Industrial Scientific, and Medical (ISM) applications. The antenna comprises two etched strip radiator and reflector layers on two Kapton substrates situated at a vertical distance of 18.47 mm. The inverted U-strip results in WLAN/ISM band from 2.30-2.62 GHz whereas the semi-circular arc-strip is responsible for generating the lower band from 1.46 to 1.73 GHz. The bottom surface reflector plane is applied below the main antenna radiator which results in a unidirectional radiation pattern with improved front-to-back ratio (FBR), antenna gain, radiation efficiency, and specific absorption rate (SAR). The reflector contains an inner square ring with a circular center ring. The reflection coefficient below -10 dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) is suitable for GPS/ISM/WLAN/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth etc. operations. The maximum gain of 5.82 dBi is obtained at a frequency of 2.80 GHz. The antenna is designed on a flexible Kapton substrate of a size 28 × 31 mm2. The SAR values below 0.01 W/kg and 0.02 W/kg are obtained at two resonance frequencies 1.60 GHz and 2.41 GHz, respectively. Therefore, the designed antenna is most suitable for indoor/outdoor wearable tracking purposes and also for medical applications.
