Abstract

This article presents a highly miniaturized dual-band electrically small antenna (ESA) for on-demand 3.6 and 5.8 GHz wireless applications. A partial rectangle-shaped structure is printed on the back face of the dielectric material, forming the antenna's ground (GND) plane. The radiating structure of the antenna consists of a C-shaped structure and a U-shaped ring connected to it, which is printed on the dielectric material's front face. The overall dimensions of the designed antenna are 0.160λo × 0.160λo × 0.02λo at the lowest operating frequency. The proposed antenna has a ka value of 0.56 at the lowest operating frequency, which is 3.59 GHz. Thus, the proposed antenna is considered as electrically small. The characteristic mode analysis is adopted to provide a clear understanding of the antenna's resonance behavior. The antenna has been fabricated and the simulation results were validated through measurements. Good agreement between simulated and measured results was obtained. Dual-band operation at 3.62 and 5.75 GHz was achieved, according to the measured reflection coefficient. The proposed antenna offers an adequate performance in terms of gain and efficiency, based on simulation and measurement results. Because of these characteristics, the antenna is well-suited to new wireless applications.
