Abstract

In this paper, a design method for a dual-band monopole antenna operating in the bands of 2.45 GHz WLAN and UWB is studied. A monopole antenna operating in UWB band is first designed, and a slot is inserted on the monopole to operate in 2.45 GHz WLAN band. The optimized dual-band monopole antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experimental results show that the antenna has a dual-band characterisitc in WLAN and UWB bands with the frequency bands of 2.35-2.50 GHz and 2.99-11.82 GHz for a VSWR < 2. Measured gain is 1 dBi at 2.45 GHz, and ranges 1.5-4.6 dBi in the frequency band of 3.1-10.6 GHz.

본 논문에서는 2.45 GHz 무선 랜 (WLAN) 대역 과 UWB 대역에서 동작하는 이중 대역 모노폴 안테나에 대한 설계 방법을 연구하였다. UWB 대역에서 동작하는 모노폴 안테나를 먼저 설계한 후 모노폴에 슬롯을 삽입하여 2.45 GHz 무선 랜 대역에서도 동작하도록 설계하였다. 최적화된 이중 대역 모노폴 안테나를 FR4 기판 상에 제작하고 특성을 실험한 결과 전압 정재파비 (VSWR) < 2인 대역이 2.35-2.50 GHz와 2.99-11.82 GHz로 무선 랜과 UWB 대역에서 이중 대역 특성을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 이득은 2.45 GH에서 1 dBi이고 3.1-10.6 GHz 대역에서 1.5-4.6 dBi로 측정되었다.
