Design of a wideband H-shaped Microstrip Antenna for WLAN

WLAN용 광대역 H-모양 마이크로스트립 안테나

In this paper, a wideband two-layer H-shaped microstrip antenna for WLAN is designed and studied experimentally. To increase the bandwidth of microstrip patch antenna, a configuration of stacked type using parastic element is used, Furthermore, to reduce the size of microstrip patch antenna, the first technique is H-shaped patch type. the second technique is that the main radiator and parastic patch are shorted to the ground plane using ten shorting posts. The antenna bandwidth and radiation characteristics are calculated by ENSEMBLE ver. 5.0 simulation software, and compared with the experimental results, Experimental results show that the return loss is less than -10dB over the band of 5.086GHz to 5.832GHz, which is quite good agreement with the calculations.
