Abstract
─ This paper presents a multiband low profile antenna aimed for its application in existing WLAN, WiMAX and sub-6 GHz fifth generation (5G) frequency bands. The design incorporates a simple planar monopole antenna with slots etched on it to be able to operate in two frequency bands with (S11< -10 dB) ranging from 2.38 2.7 GHz and 3.28 5.8 GHz with percentage impedance bandwidths of 16 and 56. The peak gains of the antenna within the bands were observed to be 2.1 and 4.3 dBi respectively. In order to further enhance the Gain and improve the radiation characteristics of the antenna, a dual band artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) surface is designed and employed as a reflector at the ground side of the main radiator. The antenna and AMC 4x4 array prototypes are fabricated and its performance is measured. It is observed that there is an enhancement in the gain of 5 dB in the first band and 2.8 dB in the second band of operation. Index Terms ─ AMC, WiMAX, WLAN.
期刊介绍：
The ACES Journal is devoted to the exchange of information in computational electromagnetics, to the advancement of the state of the art, and to the promotion of related technical activities. A primary objective of the information exchange is the elimination of the need to "re-invent the wheel" to solve a previously solved computational problem in electrical engineering, physics, or related fields of study.
The ACES Journal welcomes original, previously unpublished papers, relating to applied computational electromagnetics. All papers are refereed.
A unique feature of ACES Journal is the publication of unsuccessful efforts in applied computational electromagnetics. Publication of such material provides a means to discuss problem areas in electromagnetic modeling. Manuscripts representing an unsuccessful application or negative result in computational electromagnetics is considered for publication only if a reasonable expectation of success (and a reasonable effort) are reflected.
The technical activities promoted by this publication include code validation, performance analysis, and input/output standardization; code or technique optimization and error minimization; innovations in solution technique or in data input/output; identification of new applications for electromagnetics modeling codes and techniques; integration of computational electromagnetics techniques with new computer architectures; and correlation of computational parameters with physical mechanisms.
