Dual-frequency balanced mobile antenna for WLAN and short range communication systems
  In this paper, a balanced antenna for mobile handset applications with dual-frequency performance, that covers 2.4-GHz and 5.2-GHz WLAN bands, is investigated. The antenna is a thin-strip planar dipole with folded structure and a dual-arm on each monopole. Performance of the proposed antenna was analysed and optimised against the targeted two frequency bands. For validation, a prototype of the antenna was fabricated and tested. The performance of this balanced antenna was verified and characterised in terms of the antenna return loss, radiation pattern and power gain. The predicted and measured results show fairly good agreement and the results also confirm good impedance bandwidth characteristics for the proposed balanced antenna with dual-band operation.
