Design Of Monopole Antenna And Half-Wave Dipole Antenna For Wi-Fi Applications By Enhancing Gain

The function of basic antenna is to transmit as well as receive electromagnetic waves (EM Waves). In the field of broadcasting the television and radio signals, antennas are used. Nowadays with the advancement in the technology, antennas are also employed in wireless communication as well as space communication. It is expected by an antenna being a passive reciprocal device, that it can be used either for transmission or for reception of the Electromagnetic Energy. This paper explains the basic difference between `Monopole Antenna' and `Half-Wave Dipole Antenna'. Followed by this, both the considered antennas are designed at 2.4GHz with the aid of HFSS tool. By simulating the antennas at 2.4GHz (very high frequency), it is verified that the considered antennas can be employed for WI-FI applications by the enhancement of gain.
