摘要

A coupling-fed printed monopole antenna applied to wireless local area network/worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WLAN/WiMAX) applications is proposed. By using a pair of brunch-shaped strips, which are symmetrical with a gradual changing strip, the proposed antenna exhibits multiband performance to meet the requirements of WLAN in the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz bands and WiMAX in the 2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz bands. The proposed antenna has good omnidirectional radiation characteristic owing to its symmetric structure and achieves gains to be 2.44, 3.74, 3.3. and 2.02 dBi at 2.4, 3.5, 5.2. and 5.8 GHz, respectively.
