Abstract

Two dual-printed dipole antennas for WLAN applications operating in the 802.11 a/b/g (2.4-2.5 Ghz and 4.9-5.875 GHz) frequency bands are presented. Genetic Algorithm optimization (GA) is applied first, to a classical dual band printed dipole antenna schema. Later on, a pre-fractal technique is proposed on the larger strip and electromagnetic parameters are re-optimized to achieve a more compact radiator. Frequency performance of both antennas is introduced showing a VSWR Index terms – WLAN, printed dipole antennas, genetic algorithms, Mean Effective Gain.
