Abstract

In this paper, a novel quad-band rectangular slot antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) applications in IEEE 802. 11b/g/a and IEEE 802. 16 systems is presented. The proposed antenna, fed by a 50¬? microstrip line, has size of 32mm × 28mm × 1. 6 mm. By introducing a pair of U-shaped and inter digital strips, the proposed antenna can generate four separate impedance bandwidths. The prototype of the proposed antenna has been successfully constructed and tested. The low-band resonant frequency is located at about 2. 4 GHz, with -10 dB impedance bandwidth from about 2. 32 to 2. 45 GHz. The second band resonant frequency is located at about 3. 2 GHz, with -10 dB impedance bandwidth from about 3. 14 to 3. 26 GHz. The third band resonant frequency is located at about 3. 9 GHz, with -10 dB impedance bandwidth from about 3. 84 to 3. 96 GHz. The high-band resonant frequency is located at about 5. 6 GHz, with -10 dB impedance bandwidth from about 5. 1 to 6. 0 GHz. In addition, the measured results show good radiation characteristics at the two operating bands, proving the quad-band operation of the proposed antenna.
