Summary:
In this paper, a uniplanar QSC antenna printed on a FR4 substrate with dual-band operation in the 2.4/5.2 GHz WLAN is proposed and investigated. The two operating modes result from the excitation of a monopole and its quasi-self-complementary structure. Because of the stand-alone nature, the designed QSC antenna does not need to connect to a ground plane of large area to obtain a stable performance, thus resulting in a very compact design and suitable for application in wireless devices having limited space to mount the antenna. The antenna design and the simulated and measured results are presented and discussed.
