A printed dipole, with integrated parasitic elements, features a broad operating bandwidth. A conventional antenna design was implemented and the single-band characteristics (2.4 to 2.9GHz) were measured. The insertion of symmetrical parasitic elements at the side of the radiating elements was then investigated. A proposal is made to use a rhombic radiation patch with parasitic elements to increase the resonance modes of a printed dipole-type antenna for wideband operation. Wireless applications were obtained by optimizing the dimensions of the printed dipole-type antennas. For WLAN systems, a broadband antenna with two inverted-L slits in the parasitic elements was also studied. In addition, detailed design steps and experimental results for the designs were investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
