Abstract
In this article, a novel folded open-slot antenna fed by coplanar waveguide (CPW) for WLAN applications is designed. Through optimizing the dimensions of loaded rectangle slots, the multi operating bands are achieved. From simulated results, the antenna has a small overall size of 28mm30mm, operate over two frequency bands of 2.40GHz-2.49GHz and 5.0GHz-6.0GHz when return loss is less than-10dB. The proposed antenna is manufactured, the measured characteristics are in good agreement with the simulated results. Such antenna is suitable for WLAN 2.4/5.2/5.8GHz applications.
