Abstract
In this paper, a novel triple-band dipole antenna is presented. The proposed antenna has a very simple structure and is easily designed. The idea of the antenna is based on the traditional wideband bow-tie dipole antenna. Via etching slots on the bow-tie patch, three bent dipoles with different lengths which correspond to different operating frequencies are formed. Hence, the triple-band antenna is generated. Each operating frequency band realizes wideband and can be adjusted almost independently. And the antenna is fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line and a wideband microtrip-to-coplanar-stripline (CPS) transition as a balun. The good performances of the proposed antenna are achieved by a mass of simulations and measurements. The measured results have a good agreement with the simulated ones. The results show that the proposed antenna obtains three bandwidths at 2.38~2.65 GHz (10.7 %), 3.17~4.08 GHz (25.1 %), and 4.75~6.00 GHz (23.2 %) with the reflection coefficient less than −10 dB. In addition, the stable gain and quasi-omnidirectional radiation patterns are obtained in the operating frequency bands. Therefore, the proposed antenna is suitable for WLAN/WiMAX/LTE applications.
