Dual Y-Shaped Monopole Antenna for Dual-Band WLAN/WiMAX Operations

A dual-band design of monopole antenna with two coupled Y-shaped strips for WLAN/WiMAX applications is presented. By the introduction of dual Y-shaped strips, two separated impedance bandwidths of 22.4% (3.28~4.10 GHz) and 19.2% (4.90~5.94 GHz) can be obtained to meet the specifications of the WLAN/...
