Abstract

Design of low cost multiband antenna is presented. The antenna works in WLAN/WMAX band and has a very compact dimension of 2 cm x 2 cm, making it suitable for handheld devices. This small dimension is achieved since the antenna is loaded with the metamateria element. To miniaturize the antenna dimension further, modification on the left side of ground-plane is introduced, which is inspired by the self complementary antenna concept. Resonance at lower frequency is given by the single cell metamaterial loading on 2.36 – 2.45 frequency; at the middle frequency is given by the thin slot on 3.26 – 3.49 frequency; and at higher frequency is given by the main radiator on 5.3 – 6 GHz frequency. The antenna has omnidirectional pattern and moderate directivity of 2-3 dBi on those frequencies.

Abstract

Most commercial Yagi antennas for TV reception are built based on wires. These Yagi wire-antennas are commonly used as outdoor antennas due to their size and weight properties. In this paper, novel light weight Yagi aperture antennas are introduced. Two prototypes had been built by using low cost materials such as aluminum (insects) screen, cylinder can, aluminum foil, and styrofoam. The antennas worked at the TV band and have gains around 9.7 – 13.5 dBi comparable to the outdoor Yagi wire antennas. Due to their lightweight and smaller dimension nature, they were suitable for used as indoor TV antennas. The antennas had also unique property due to the use of Styrofoam. They were portable, easy to construct and deconstruct.
