Design & Development of Compact Uniplanar Semi-Hexagonal ACS Fed Multi-Band Antenna for Portable System Application

In the present work, a compact size, dual-band antenna is proposed for WLAN/WiMAX/LTE 2500/DMB applications. The designed antenna is fed by a 50 Omega coplanar line. The radiating component of the composed antenna consists of radiating strips with half hexagonal and vertical rectangular shapes and square-shaped ground plane which are printed on the same layer. The overall size of the antenna substrate is only 10x24x1.6mm(3). The simulated and measured results of the proposed antenna show that it operates in the frequency range from 2.5 GHz to 2.75GHz and 5.0 GHz to 6.7 GHz, respectively.
