The Effect of Conductor Line to Meander Line Antenna Design

In this paper, the meander line antenna has been designed to operate at 2.4-GHz for WLAN application. Two different designs of meander line antenna are investigated, without conductor line and with conductor line. The Microwave Office software is used for simulation design process. The antenna is fabricated on a doublesided FR-4 printed circuit board using an etching technique. The design has been tested with the Advantest Network Analyzer. The comparison between simulation and measurement results for the return loss and radiation patterns were presented. A bandwidth of 152MHz and return loss of -37.7dB were obtained at frequency 2.4GHz. The gain is comparable to microstrip yagi antenn

Performance and radiation patterns of aesthetic and asymmetric logo-based patch antennas

This article was published in the Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications [© Taylor & Francis] and the definitive version is available at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09205071.2014.893844This paper investigates microstrip patch antennas designed using aesthetic and asymmetrical logo-based shapes. A range of shapes have been considered and analyzed using electromagnetic simulations and measurements. Particular attention has been given to the radiation patterns of these asymmetric antennas

Design of dual beam meander line antenna

Meander line antenna with parasitic element was investigated. It has been designed to operate at 2.4-GHz which are specified by IEEE 802.11b/g for WLAN. The antenna designed has been done for planar type. Microwave Studio SCT Microwave Office software is used for simulation designed process. The antenna is fabricated on a double-sided FR-4 printed circuit board using an etching technique. Then the design has been tested with the Advantest Network Analyzer. The comparison between simulation and measurement results for return loss and radiation patterns were presented
