Abstract

The WiFi-5 band was the most popular WiFi band until the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a new spectrum of 6 GHz WiFi (5.925–7.125 GHz) for unlicensed users. Our proposed work is about to cover both the 5 GHz and 6 GHz WiFi bands. These two bands have a great impact in the wireless communication field. A low-loss Rogers RT 5880 material is used as the substrate layer, which helps us to make the antenna compact ( 23 × 40 × 0.79 mm3) keeping a good performance profile over the latest high-speed WiFi-5/6 band. The proposed antenna covers a huge bandwidth (simulated BW: 2.85 GHz ranging from 4.50 to 7.35 GHz and measured BW: 2.83 GHz ranging from 4.50 to 7.33 GHz), which can be used for the latest WiFi-5 and WiFi-6 routers. The antenna also has omnidirectional properties. Besides that, the gain and directivity of the antenna are quite good, and the measured results buttress the simulated results. The presented different detail parametric studies indicate the antenna’s optimization level, which is excellent. The minimum values of reflection coefficient and voltage standing wave ratio make it a compatible candidate for the implementation of high-speed WiFi-5/6 routers.

用于WiFi-5/6路由器的紧凑型四元微带阵列天线的设计与表征

在联邦通信委员会(FCC)宣布为未经许可的用户提供6 GHz WiFi (5.925-7.125 GHz)新频谱之前，wi - fi -5频段是最受欢迎的WiFi频段。我们提出的工作即将涵盖5 GHz和6 GHz WiFi频段。这两个频段在无线通信领域有很大的影响。使用低损耗的Rogers RT 5880材料作为基板层，这有助于我们使天线紧凑(23 × 40 × 0.79 mm3)，在最新的高速WiFi-5/6频段上保持良好的性能。所提出的天线覆盖了巨大的带宽(模拟BW: 2.85 GHz，范围从4.50到7.35 GHz，测量BW: 2.83 GHz，范围从4.50到7.33 GHz)，可以用于最新的WiFi-5和WiFi-6路由器。该天线还具有全向特性。此外，天线的增益和指向性都很好，测量结果与仿真结果相吻合。所提出的不同细节参数研究表明天线的优化水平是优秀的。反射系数和电压驻波比的最小值使其成为实现高速WiFi-5/6路由器的兼容候选者。

期刊介绍： International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering provides a common forum for the dissemination of research and development results in the areas of computer-aided design and engineering of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave components, circuits, subsystems, and antennas. The journal is intended to be a single source of valuable information for all engineers and technicians, RF/microwave/mm-wave CAD tool vendors, researchers in industry, government and academia, professors and students, and systems engineers involved in RF/microwave/mm-wave technology. Multidisciplinary in scope, the journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and short papers on topics that include, but are not limited to. . . -Computer-Aided Modeling -Computer-Aided Analysis -Computer-Aided Optimization -Software and Manufacturing Techniques -Computer-Aided Measurements -Measurements Interfaced with CAD Systems In addition, the scope of the journal includes features such as software reviews, RF/microwave/mm-wave CAD related news, including brief reviews of CAD papers published elsewhere and a "Letters to the Editor" section.
