Summary:
A planar antenna for the dual-band wireless local area network (WLAN) applications is proposed. The antenna is automatically designed by the genetic algorithm (GA) in which the antenna is first divided into small patches and the patches are selected. As the result, both the radiation element and ground plane of the antenna are optimized and a compact antenna is obtained. A prototype antenna shows good performance on the 2.4/5 GHz WLAN bands.
