Abstract

A coaxial fed tri-band model has been proposed for microwave access, which is typically involved in the applications of L and S band that combines Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access 3 (WiMax). The proposed model has a size of 20×20×1.66 mm with FR4 epoxy as a dielectric substrate, which has a relative permittivity of 4.4. It has symmetrical slots on the conducting patch which are C-shaped and also has a rectangular strip slot in ground plane, so that tri-band can be obtained. It is mainly designed to work within 1 GHz to 8 GHz. The designed structure is simulated by High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and the peak value of return loss, 27 dB, is obtained at 3.5 GHz frequency. The simulated results depicted that the proposed antenna will respond well over 2.38-2.43 GHz, 3.43-3.56 GHz and 5.5-5.8 GHz frequency band.
