Abstract
A dual-band antenna is proposed for WLAN and WiMAX frequency bands. Two resonance frequencies are found to be 2.45 and 5.125 GHz and −10 dB bandwidth of lower and upper resonance frequencies are 4.13 and 8.82 % respectively. It is observed that frequency ratio is more sensitive with the dimensions of L-shaped slot. The frequency ratio of the antenna for a given dimension of L-slot is found to be 2.092 and gain of the antenna is 3.9 dBi for lower resonance whereas 6 dBi at upper resonance. The theoretical results are compared with the reported experimental result as well as simulated results obtained from IE3D simulation software which are in close agreement.
