Compact Dual-band Balanced Handset Antenna for WLAN Application
  In this paper, a balanced antenna for mobile handset applications with dual-frequency performance, covering the 2.4 GHz and the entire 5 GHz WLAN frequency bands, is investigated and discussed. The antenna is a thin-strip planar dipole with folded structure and a dual-arm on each monopole. For validation, the antenna prototype was fabricated and tested. The performance of this balanced antenna was verified and characterised in terms of the antenna return loss, radiation pattern, power gain and surface current distribution of the proposed antenna. The predicted and measured results show good agreement.
