In this paper, a CPW-fed dual-band monopole antenna with two branch strips for WLAN(Wireless Local Area Networks) applications was designed, fabricated and measured. The proposed antenna is based on a CPW-feeding structure, and composed of two branch strips and then designed and tuned the length of two branch lines to obtained required frequencies bands. To obtain the optimized parameters, we used the simulator, Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator(HFSS) and carried out simulation about parameters $L_5$, $L_8$, $W_3$, $W_5$, $W_9$. The proposed antenna is fabricated on the FR-4 substrate using the obtained parameters. The numerical and experiment results demonstrated that the proposed antenna obtained the -10 dB impedance bandwidth 1,095 MHz (1.57~2.665 GHz) for 2.4 GHz band and 1,680 MHz (4.99~6.67 GHz) for 5 GHz band satisfied requirement while simultaneously covering the WLAN bands. And characteristics of gain and radiation patterns are determined for WLAN operating bands.

A planar monopole antenna that was developed for WLAN/WiMAX application is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna with three strips, an asymmetrical ground plane, and a rectangular slit in the ground is designed to cover the popular frequency spectrum of WLAN (wireless local area network) bands and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) bands. The proposed antenna, which is capable of wideband operation, is fed by a strip line and fabricated on an FR-4 substrate. The obtained numerical results agree well with the experiment data. It was validated that the configuration can meet the demands for the WLAN/WiMAX systems and effectively enhanced the impedance bandwidth to 9.95% for the lower band and 76.05% for the upper band for VSWR < 1 : 2. This paper also presents and discusses the 2D radiation patterns and 3D gains according to the results of the experiment.

In this paper, a novel design for a triple-band coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed monopole antenna for WLAN/WiMAX operations is proposed. The proposed antenna is printed on an FR4 substrate with an area of 22.0 mm × 30.0 mm, a thickness of 1.0 mm, and a relative permittivity of 4.4. The effects of various parameters of the proposed for triple band operation is investigated. Two half circular rings and a microstrip feed line are fabricated on the substrate to achieve triple band operation and good impedance matching. Prototypes of the proposed antenna have been fabricated and tested. Experiment results reveal that the measured return loss exhibits an acceptable agreement with the simulated return loss and satisfies the impedance bandwidth requirement of -10 dB, while simultaneously covering the WLAN and WiMAX bands. In addition, the proposed antenna shows good radiation characteristics and gains in the three operating bands.
