• ANTENNA is a metallic device for radiating or receiving the

radio waves.

software is used.
 OBJECTIVE

(dimension).

• Rectangular shaped radiating element-9 mm × 1.5 mm.

• Asymmetric dipole antenna is printed on FR4 subtrate-0.8mm

thick.

• For “C” shaped parasitic strip

“L1=5.5mm,L2=9mm,W1=1mm,W3=1.5mm”.
 ABSTRACT

 A compact (31 mm 7 mm 0.8 mm) uniplanar antenna designed for

wireless local-area network (WLAN) operations in laptop applications .

 To achieve triple-band(2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz) WLAN operation, the structure of

the Proposed antenna is devised as an asymmetric dipole type, in which
the2.4/5.2 GHz operating bands are excited along the meandered feed line
connected to a rectangular radiating element, and the excitation of the 5.8
GHz band comes from its asymmetric counterpart (with C-shaped parasitic
strip).

 Interestingly, the proposed triple-band antenna can be reduced to a dual-

band (2.4/5.2 GHz) one by simply tuning the length of the C-shaped
parasitic strip.

 The simulated effects on the antenna performances by tuning the various

vital parameters have been studied and experimentally verified.
