Novel small peanut-shape printed antenna design for WLAN-band application

In this paper, 2.45 GHz small printed antenna suitable for WLAN-band application are proposed. In order to decrease the size of the antenna, multi-layer substrate and shorting pin method are used. Partial and slitted ground methods are used to increase the impedance bandwidth of the antenna. This antenna shows an omni-directional radiation pattern similar to that of a monopole antenna.
