In this paper, a hybrid of T-dipole and quasi-Yagi antenna is presented for using in dual-band Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) access point. The antenna is made up of combination of T-dipole and quasi-Yagi antenna structures, which are distinctly designed to operate at 2.4 and 5.5 GHz frequency bands. A simply integrated balun that consists of a curved microstrip line and a circular slot to allow broadband characteristic is used to feed the antenna. The final antenna design presents measured bandwidths (RL ≤ − 10 dB) of 2.35 – 2.55 GHz and 4.30 – 6.56 GHz which cover completely the two bands of WLAN. Simulated and measured results of peak gain and radiation patterns in both E- and H-plane validate potential of the design.

Abstract This paper presents the design, simulation and fabrication of a miniaturized wearable dual-band antenna on a semi-flex substrate; she is operable at 2.45/5.8 GHz for wireless local area network applications. The electrical and radiation characteristics of this proposed antenna were obtained by means of a technical of insertion of a slot to tune the operating frequencies. To study the impact of the electromagnetic radiation of the structure of the human body, it is necessary to minimize the back radiation towards the user. Therefore, in this work, a multi-band artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) was placed directly above a dual-band planar inverted F antenna to achieve a miniaturization with excellent radiation performance. The simulation results were designed and simulated using Studio commercial software (CST). A good agreement was achieved between the results of simulation and the experimental. The Comparison of measurement results indicates that the gain improved from 1,84 dB to 3,8 dB, in the lower band, and from 2,4 dB to 4,1 in the upper band, when the antenna is backed by the AMC plane. The front-to-back ratio of the AMC backed PIFA antenna was also enhanced. Then, to ensure that the proposed AMC is harmless to the human body, this prototype was placed on three-layer human tissue cubic model. It was observed that the through inclusion of plane AMC, the peak specific absorption rate (SAR) decreased to 1,45 and 1,1 W/kg at 2,45 and 5.8 GHz, respectively (a reduction of around 3,7 W/kg, compared with an antenna without (AMC).

Wireless Local area Network  (WLAN) suatu jaringan area lokal tanpa kabel yang menggunakan frekuensi radio sebagai media transmisinya. Dalam penelitian ini merancang sebuah jaringan wifi di Perumahan Dosen Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya, yang pancaran wifinya dari kampus Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya, sehingga Perumahan Dosen dapat mengakses wifi tanpa perlu datang ke kampus. Sebagai receiver komunikasi wifi diperlukan peranan antena dalam sistem komunikasi tanpa kabel (wireless) dengan jarak jauh, antena yang digunakan adalah antena yagi yang bekerja pada frekuensi 2400 MHz. Antena yagi dipilih karena sifatnya yang directional atau pola pancarannya yang terarah. Dalam perancangan antena yagi untuk ukuran reflector, driven, director dan balun dibantu dengan software yagi calculator serta disimulasikan dan diuji  menggunakan MMANA-GAL untuk menghasilkan parameter antena yang lebih akurat. Antena yagi ini kemudian akan dihubungkan dengan access point yang disetup sebagai client untuk menerima sinyal dari transmitter dan router sebagai proses routing agar user di Perumahan Dosen dapat mengakses wifi tersebut. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian MMANA-GAL antena yagi dengan frekuensi 2400 MHz, diperoleh Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) sebesar 1.16 dan Penguatan (Gain) sebesar 14,59 dB.

AbstractIn this paper, a compact, low-profile, coplanar waveguide-fed metamaterial inspired dual-band microstrip antenna is presented for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application. To achieve the goal a triangular split ring resonator is used along with an open-ended stub. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 20 × 24 mm2 fabricated on an FR-4 epoxy substrate with dielectric constant (εr) 4.4. The antenna provides two distinct bands I from 2.40 to 2.48 GHz and II from 4.7 to 6.04 GHz with reflection coefficient better than −10 dB, covering the entire WLAN (2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz) band spectrum. The performance of the proposed metamaterial inspired antenna is also studied in terms of the radiation pattern, efficiency, and the realized gain. A comparative study is also presented to show the performance of the proposed metamaterial inspired antenna with respect to other conventional antenna structures in terms of overall size, bandwidth, gain, and reflection coefficient. Finally, the antenna is fabricated and tested. The simulated results show good agreement with the measured results.
