A Compact Dual-Band CPW-Fed Planar Monopole Antenna for 2.62–2.73 GHz Frequency Band, WiMAX and WLAN Applications

Abstract In this paper, we present a compact and low-profile monopole antenna with a simple structure for the 2.6–2.73 GHz frequency band, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications. The first configuration of our antenna mainly consists by three radiating elements: inverted L-shaped Stub1, L-shaped Stub2 and a rectangle Stub3. By adjusting the lengths of the three Stubs, three resonant frequencies can be achieved and adjusted separately. Then, the assembled between Stub2 and Stub3 gives the final design of our proposed...
