Abstract
A wideband shorted dipole antenna well suited to applications for WLAN/WiMAX dual‐mode operation is presented. The dipole antenna is structured to be of an L shape to fit in corners of possible wireless communications devices. Two radiating arms of the dipole antenna are further short‐circuited, which allows the antenna to be cost‐effectively fabricated by stamping a single metal plate only one time. In addition, by widening the end portion of each radiating arm, much more improved impedance matching across a wide operating bandwidth can easily be achieved. Details of the proposed dipole antenna are described, and experimental and simulation results of a design prototype are elaborated and discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
