Design and Fabrication of Meander Line Antennas for WLAN and Dual Band Applications

A 2.4-GHz WLAN meander-line antenna and A Dual band meander line antenna are designed and simulated. The HFSS 3-D EM simulator is employed for design simulation. The prototypes of simulated antenna is realized on an FR-4 PCB substrate. The results are verified using Vector Network Analyzer ENA 5071C. In both Simulation and Design the measured VSWR is less than 2 from 2.4 to 2.5 GHz for the WLAN MLA and for Dual band MLA at frequencies 3.1GHz and 5.1GHz.
