Design and Analysis of the Hexagonal-Shaped Antenna with Multi-Band Feature for WLAN, WiMAX, and LTE Applications
Main Article Content
Abstract
Developing and researching antenna designs are analogous to excavating in an undiscovered mine. This paper proposes a multi-band antenna with a new hexagonal ring shape, theoretically designed, developed, and analyzed using a CST before being manufactured. The antenna has undergone six changes to provide the best performance. The results of the surface current distribution and the electric field distribution on the surface of the hexagonal patch were theoretically analyzed and studied. The sequential approach taken to determine the most effective design is logical, and prevents deviation from the work direction. After comparing the six theoretical results, the fifth model proved to be the best for making a prototype. Measured results represent that the proposed antenna can operate well in three bands with a return loss of -11.24 dB at 2.9 GHz, -25.99 dB at 4.9 GHz, and -21.26 dB at 5.4 GH. This type of antenna belongs to various wireless communication systems, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G.
