INTRODUCTION I n recent years due to fabulous development of mobile wireless communication, systems suc as digital notepad, notebook and so on required broadband connections wit large transmission and receiver speeds troug wireless local area network (WLAN).Generally, te 2.4 GHZ ISM band utilized by te IEEE 82.11b and 82.11g standards but in tis case te WLAN equipment will suffer interference from baby monitors, wireless keyboards, microwave oven, Bluetoot devices and oter appliances tat use te same band. On te oter and, te oter frequency spectrum allowed for WLAN (5 ) ave muc wide band widt wit fewer disturbances from oter services. Moreover, 5 network can carry more data tan te 2.4. So, to meet te condition of less interference te design of te antenna become more sopisticated wic required aving some special properties suc as, small size, iger gain, Omni-directional radiationpattern and so on. In order to satisfy te above condition for 5 band antenna, several antennas are proposed. a monopole antenna wit a folded ground strips [1] as been proposed for WLAN application is capable to satisfy te wole 5 band but it is not small in size. Some of te antennas are also provide full coverage of 5 but tey are in large size [2-6] or Autor : A. N. R.

Terefore, in tis article, we propose a compact wideband antenna for 5 Universal WLAN and WiMAX operations. From te simulation results, it provides a wider impedance bandwidt of 2.55 (5-755MHz) wic fully covers te 5.2/5.5/5.8 bands. Moreover it also gives an omnidirectional radiation patterns wit maximum measured peak antenna gains of 7.6, 7.14 and 6.53 dbi across te operating bands, respectively. Details of te proposed antenna design are described in tis study, and te related results for te obtained performance operated across te 5.2/5.5/5.8 bands are presented and discussed. II. ANTENNA GEOMETRY & DESIGN Te design variables for tis antenna are te eigt, widt, and lengt of te top plate, te widt and te location of te feed wire.in designing te broadband low profile antenna for 5 WLAN/WiMAX applications, we examine te possibility of increasing antenna bandwidt, gain and maintaining te input impedance near about 5 application bands wit simplifying its structure. Metod of moments (MoM s) in Numerical Electromagnetic Code (NEC) [11] is used for conducting parameter studies to ascertain te effect of different loading on te antenna performance to find out te optimal design were finest segmentation of eac geometrical parameter are used. Te antenna is assumed to feed by 5 connector. In our analysis we assume te copper conductor and te antenna was intended to be matced to 5 mpedance. Fig. 1 represents te basic geometry of te different antenna. For te simulation we consider printed circuit board (PCB) wit permittivity of ε r =2.2, substrate tickness of 1.58 mm and te dimensions of te ground plane considered as 6 6 mm2. Fig. 1(a) represents te general IFA were one leg of IFA directly connected to te feeding and anoter leg spaced s from te ground plane. An additional L branc is added in structure 2 wic sown in Fig. 1(b).In Fig 1(c) te limbs of L branc of structure 2 is extended and an additional L branc is coupled. Terefore structure 3 is termed as inverted-f Double-L antenna (IFDL antenna). ( F ) VI November 211 19 Global Journal of Researces in Engineering Volume XI Issue v Version I 211 Global Journals Inc.

Wideband Inverted-F Double-L Antenna for 5 Applications Wit te elp of resonant frequency teory of IFA and impedance matcing concept, we consider te dimension of te IFA l=16 mm, t=5 mm, =4 mm, 1=3 mm, d=2 mm and s=1 mm. Fig. 2 sows te effects of lengt l on te return loss as a function of frequency on te IFA of structure 1. From te simulated results wen l=16 mm, t=5 mm, =4 mm, 1=3 mm, d=2 mm and s=1 mm te variation of return loss wit frequency is not covering te wole 5 operating band (frequency ranges 515 585 MHz) moreover te return loss is not so desirable. l t l t 1 l t 2 2 Global Journal of Researces in Engineering ( F) Volume XI Issue VI Version I November 211 2-1 -15-2 -25 d Feed (a) Structure 1, (b) Structure 2, (c) Structure 3-3 Fig.2 : Return loss as a function of frequency for different types of antennas. After adding an additional L branc wit te structure 1 te performance of te return loss improves sligtly. However, wen we added anoter L branc wit structure 2, te performance of return loss improves dramatically. Fig. 3 sows te effects of l on te return loss of IFDL antenna, wen t=5 mm, =4 mm, 1=4 mm, 2=4 mm, s=1 mm and d=2 mm. From te figure we observed tat, for considering return loss te best performance of te IFDL antenna is obtained wen l=16 mm altoug l=16 mm and l=17 mm will cover te wole 5 band, teir return loss is not appreciable as l=16 mm. On te oter and, for l=14 mm and l=15 mm return loss is muc iger tan l=16 mm. Now maintaining l=16 mm we continue our advance analysis on te tap distance t as sown in Fig. 4 and we observe tat wen t=5 mm te IFDL antenna provides more negative return loss at te application bands tan oter values. Fig. 5 sows te effects of d on return loss wen te tap distance t=5 mm and lengt l=16 mm. Te best performance of return loss is obtained wen d=2 mm. s d Feed Fig.1 : Geometry of different antenna structure.

Normalized radiation patterns for tree resonant frequencies are sown as: total gain in Hplane and E-plane. Te antenna s normalized total radiation in E and H-plane is almost omnidirectional at te 5 WLAN and WiMAX applications. One of te significant advantages of symmetrical radiation pattern as seen from Figs. 12, 13, and 14 is tat te maximum power direction is always at te broadside direction and does not sift to different directions at different frequencies. -1-2 -3-2 -1 12 15 18 21 24 9 6 27 3 (a) 3 33-1 -2-3 -2-1 3 27 24 33 21 18 (b) 3 6 9 12 15 Fig.12 : Radiation pattern (normalized) (a) Total gain in E-plane and (b) total gain in H-plane of IFDL antenna at 5.2. -1-2 -3-2 -1 12 15 18 21 24 9 6 27 3 3 33-1 -2-3 -2-1 3 27 24 33 21 Fig.13 : Radiation pattern (normalized) (a) Total gain in E-plane and (b) total gain in H-plane of IFDL antenna at 5.5. 18 (a) (b) 3 6 9 12 15 211 Global Journals Inc.
