Abstract
A novel miniature microstrip-fed multiband antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN) and X-band satellite communication applications is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of two arc-shaped strips, dual inverted L-shaped parasitic stubs and a partial ground plane. The proposed antenna can excite multi-resonant modes while achieving a compact size of 18×34.5×0.8 mm3. The measurement results show that -10 dB impedance bandwidths are 290 MHz (2.28-2.57 GHz), 1.27 GHz (5.0-6.27 GHz), and 850 MHz (7.11-7.96 GHz), which can cover the entire operation frequencies of WLAN (2.48-2.4835 GHz, 5.15-5.875 GHz) and X-band satellite communication system (7.25-7.75 GHz) applications.
