Ultra wideband slot-loaded, dielectric-filled discone antenna for WLAN applications

Novel antenna design for WLAN applications comply IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n protocol is proposed. The design is based on a dielectric filled discone antenna. The antenna is characterized by omni-directional radiation patterns in the azimuthal plane and similar to each other radiation patterns at both WLAN operational bands at 2.4GHz and 5.5GHz in the elevation plane in the angular sector from 40° to 60°.
