A Double-Layer Patch Antenna for 5–6 GHz Wireless Communication
This paper proposes a compact double-layer microstrip patch antenna with a wide bandwidth of 4.83–6.1 GHz and a gain reaching 4.7 dBi. By folding its mirror image through the electric field symmetry principle of the microstrip antenna, its electrical properties are maintained, and the physical size...

| description | This paper proposes a compact double-layer microstrip patch antenna with a wide bandwidth of 4.83–6.1 GHz and a gain reaching 4.7 dBi. By folding its mirror image through the electric field symmetry principle of the microstrip antenna, its electrical properties are maintained, and the physical size is halved to the compact size of only 25 × 40 mm<sup>2</sup>. The proposed antenna has the radiation characteristics of a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA), which can generate the first resonant frequency and realize omnidirectional radiation characteristics. By coupling and feeding the upper patch, the second resonant frequency of the proposed antenna is produced and the directional radiation characteristics of the microstrip patch antenna can be achieved. The consistency of the results between the simulation and test indicates that the proposed antenna design is an ideal potential choice for home wireless local area network (WLAN) communication. |
