Abstract
This paper presents a novel monopole antenna which uses split ring loading in order to achieve a dual-wideband operation for WLAN (2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz) application. By adjusting the split ring position and its natural resonant frequency, the proposed antenna can produce more than 1 GHz wideband match in the 5 GHz band. According to the measured results, the bandwidth with reflection coefficient less than -10 dB is about 715 and 1017 MHz in the two bands. Good radiation patterns are also achieved. The dimensions of the monopole loaded with split ring are 27.2mm×16.2mm×1mm, which is suitable for a hallway antenna or ceiling mount antenna of WLAN application.
