Abstract
In this paper, we aim to report a successful modification of the two-strip monopole antenna. This antenna has been designed and fabricated at the department of Electronic and Information Engineering, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The modification has addressed the weakness of the original designs by employing a thicker (31 mil) Duriod substrate. The modified monopole antenna is now a penta-band rather than a dual-band antenna, in addition to the WiFi/Wilress LAN frequency bands (802.11a/b/g/n: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz), and the 5.8 GHz UNII band, it covers also the mobile WiMAX and WiBro bands (802.16e: 3.5-3.7 GHz). The antenna geometry is presented in Section 2 whereas simulation and measurement results are compared in Section 3. Conclusion is included in Section 4.
