Dual-band patch antenna for WLAN applications

A novel patch antenna consists of shorted-slots loading and asymmetric coplanar waveguide (ACPW) feeding structure is proposed in this article. The radiated patch antenna was chiseled two cross-slots, there are shorted-lines to be set at the middle- and cross-points of slots, which is designed to be operated at dual-ISM band (2.4GHz and 5.8 GHz bands). A prototype of the proposed antenna with 62 mm in length, 9.2 mm in height and 75 mm in width is fabricated and experimentally investigated.
