Abstract

The design and analysis is presented of a low profile and dual- frequency inverted L-F antenna for WLAN and short range wireless communications, providing a compromise between size reduction and attainable bandwidth. The optimum (minimized) volume of 30 x 30 x 8 mm of the proposed antenna gives 8% bandwidth at lower resonant mode of 2400 MHz, while at the higher resonant mode of 5500 MHz a bandwidth of 12.2% is obtained. Both the simulated and measured characteristics of the proposed antenna are shown.
