PARAMETRIC DESIGN AND SIMULATIONS OF DOUBLE L-SLOT MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA ARRAY FOR WIMAX AND WLAN APPLICATIONS

摘要

Microstrip antennas are becoming more popular due to their extraordinary properties like low profile, light weight, low cost, conformance to planar and non-planar surfaces, simplicity and Inexpensive manufacturability. Microstrip patch antenna has tremendous scope In WLAN and WIMAX applications due to their low profile platform design. In this paper, a double L-slot microstrip patch antenna array with the Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) Feed has been presented for WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and WIMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) by operating frequencies. The results of simulation show that by employing two different slots, a good bandwidth and a perfect Impedance match can be obtained. This design results reduce the size, weight and allows easy integration In hand-held devices.
