Abstract
This paper presents a wideband printed dipole‐antenna element. The broad bandwidth is achieved by optimization of the feeding network, which is implemented as a microstrip tapered balun. The design is based on double‐sided flat‐dipole implementation. The prototype antenna exhibits a measured impedance bandwidth of 58% (VSWR < 2), operating over the entire 2.4‐GHz ISM and 3.6‐GHz FWA bands. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
