Wideband Printed Monopole Antenna for Wi-Fi 6E Devices with Broadband Matching Network

A compact printed monopole antenna mounted on a FR-4 substrate having a dielectric constant of 4.6 fed by the transmission line operating between 5.925 GHz and 7.125 GHz frequency range with minimum bandwidth of 1200 MHz is proposed for Wi-Fi 6E applications. The designed antenna is simulated using the Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) software and various other antenna parameters required for the specific functioning of the antenna under the IEEE 802.11 ax standards are analyzed. The results showed that the antenna has bandwidth approximately more than 2000 MHz which is greater than desired bandwidth making it suitable for Wi-Fi 6E applications. Matching network is also designed to transfer maximum power from source to load.
