Abstract

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.

본 논문에서는 WLAN 시스템에 적용 가능한 이중 대역을 갖는 안테나를 설계, 제작 및 측정 하였다. 제안된 안테나는 CPW 급전 구조를 바탕으로 두 개의 선로로 구성되어 있으며 두 개 분기 선로의 길이 조정을 통해 이중 대역 특성을 갖도록 설계하였다. 최적화된 수치를 얻기 위해 상용 툴인 HFSS을 사용하여 $L_5$, $L_8$, $W_3$, $W_5$, $W_9$ 파라미터에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 제안된 안테나를 얻어진 최적화된 수치를 사용하여 FR-4 기판위에 제작하였다. -10dB 임피던스 대역폭을 기준으로 반사손실에 대한 측정결과, 2.4 GHz 대역에서 1,095 MHz (1.57~2.665 GHz) 그리고 5 GHz 대역에서 1,680 MHz (4.99~6.67 GHz)의 대역을 얻었으며 WLAN에서 요구하는 대역폭을 만족시켰다. 또한 WLAN 대역에서 이득과 방사패턴의 특성을 얻었다.
