Abstract— The basic shape structures are designed at frequency 2.4 GHz based on radiating structure 5 and 5.2 GHz based on radiating structure 3. The frequency bands that have been chosen are based on the IEEE standards. Then both structures are combined to achieve dual band resonant. The techniques that have been used are by designing the 3.5 shaped by using microstrip, planar and coplanar waveguide structures. Then, the changes on the position of radiating structure 3 have been carried out to investigate the effect for dual band.

I. INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, wireless communication is rapid in increasingly the technology development. The rapid progress promises to make interactive voice, data and video services available anytime and anyplace. Wireless communication systems come in variety of different sizes ranging from small hand-held devices to wireless local area networks. The trend now is providing a wireless link to every kind of electronic devices. In this trend, Personal Digital Assistant (PDAs), notebooks and cellular phones are becoming constitutive elements of new generation networks [1]. Wireless local area networks (WLANs) constituted by portable devices communicating in an ad-hoc fashion, provide a viable extension of wired LANs for several of applications. WLAN are being widely recognized as a viable, cost effective and high speed data connectivity solution and enabling user mobility. Besides that, wireless communication systems provide flexibility and their application is user friendly [2, 3].

Rapid development in wireless communications industries demand novel antenna that can be easily used in more than one frequency. Besides that, the antenna design facing many problems and issues those need to be solved immediately to fulfil the user needed. The problems involved in the antenna design are limitation space so the antenna needs to be in compact size and challenges to make

the antenna broadband. Reasons of developing a dual band antenna are to increase the bandwidth, to cover multiband applications and to provide large bandwidth [4, 5]. Dual band antennas can also be used for different ISM bands. The 2.4 GHz ISM band has become very popular and is now widely used for several wireless communication standards [6].

In this paper, an antenna with radiating structure of 3.5 is

proposed for dual band applications at 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz. The frequency chosen is based on the standards which are IEEE 802.11a (5.15 GHz – 5.35 GHz) and IEEE 802.11b (2.4 GHz – 2.48 GHz) frequency bands.

II. ANTENNA DESIGN

Previous work has been done on the novel compact

printed antenna with radiating structure of 2.5 for dual band

applications at 2.4 GHz and 5.2/5.8 GHz [2]. This paper proposed different radiating structure for same applications. The radiating structure that has been proposed in this paper is 3.5.

The basic structure for the 3.5 antenna consists of 3

layers which are patch, dielectric substrate and ground plane as shown in Figure 1. The top layer is patch or antenna layer which is the radiator that made from the copper (annealed) with thickness of 0.035 mm. Then, the

second layer is dielectric substrate (80 mm 80 mm). In

The basic structure of 3 and 5 as in Figure 1 is designed.

Then, both structures 3 and 5 are combined to form 3.5

-shaped antenna. Firstly, the microstrip antenna is designed. There are two types of microstrip antenna which are Design

A1 and Design A2. Then, the antenna is designed with

planar type which is Design B1. Next designed are coplanar

waveguide (CPW) antennas which are Design C1, Design

C2 and Design C3.

A. Microstrip Antenna (Design A1 and Design A2)

The radiating patch of structure 3 and 5 are designed on

one side of the substrate while other side is ground. The ground is fully covered the substrate. There are two designed that using microstrip antenna type which are

Design A1 and Design A2 as shown in Figure 3 and Figure

structure 3 is placed at the other side of substrate. The

position of that structure is similar to Design B1.

From the simulation, the bandwidth for 2.4 GHz is 1265.4 MHz (2.8735 GHz – 1.6081 GHz) and 5.2 GHz is 1160.9 MHz (5.8649 GHz – 4.7039 GHz). Particularly, the lower frequency band has a wider bandwidth compare to the upper frequency due the slot. The graph of return loss is shown in Figure 10.

[image:5.612.321.580.225.319.2]

The directivity for 2.4 GHz is 5.34 dBi and for 5.2 GHz is 6.53 dBi. While the radiation efficiency for 2.4 GHz is -0.64 dB and for 5.2 GHz is -0.85 dB which is more than 50% efficiency where the antenna receives more than 50% of power transmitted. The surface current is shown in Figure 11.

In addition, the slot size gives significant bandwidth enhancement in the upper frequency as shown in Figure 12. The slot size has small effect to the upper frequency but can change the lower frequency. The lower frequency was shifted from the 1.775 GHz to 2.45 GHz.

Then, the parametric study of the length of feed as shown in Figure 13 was performed. The upper frequency and the lower frequency are shifted. Figure 14 shown simulation radiation pattern of the proposed antenna.

The radiation patterns for the (total) electric field at 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz have a few nulls in the radiation patterns but the overall omnidirectional characteristics are retained. It should be noticed that the radiation pattern of the antenna is elliptical for a certain of angle. The comparison between the simulation and measurement results are shown in TABLE II.

The bandwidth especially for the upper frequency can be achieved by adjusting the slot size. The proposed antenna is a very attractive solution for small portable devices and for systems where compact antennas that can operate with a small ground plane are required.
