Design Analysis of 2.45 GHz Meander Line Antenna (MLA)

A Meander Line Antenna (MLA) for 2.45 GHz is proposed. This research focuses on the optimum value of gain and reflection coefficient. Therefore, the MLA's parametric studies is discussed which involved the number of turn, width of feed (W1), length of feed (LI) and vertical length partial ground (L3). As a result, the studies have significantly achieved MLA's gain and reflection coefficient of 3.248dB and -45dB respectively. The MLA also resembles the monopole antenna behavior of Omni-directional radiation pattern. Measured and simulated results are presented. The proposed antenna has big potential to be implemented for WLAN device such as optical mouse application.
