Dual-Band Copper Rod Monopole Antenna for Wireless Communication System

In this paper, a dual-band copper rod monopole antenna for a wireless communication system is initiated. The antenna has been designed based on meander line technique using the monopole rod elements and rectangular ground structure. Each element of meander lines was designed with a half wavelength to radiate at a frequency of 2.4 and 5.8 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) application. The proposed antenna was designed and simulated by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software. The bandwidth of reflection coefficient of less than −10 dB could be observed at (f1–f2) 331 MHz and (f1–f2) 358 MHz for Design A. Then, the additional cone and inverse-cone shape reflector shifted the frequency to the left from the 2.4 GHz band and to the right at 5.8 GHz band. The desired frequency could be obtained by adjusting the size of the copper reflector.
