Compact Multi-band Antenna for Wireless Applications

The aim of this application note is to demonstrate the possibilities of WIPL-D Pro 3D EM Solver regarding design and simulation of complex printed antennas in a wide-band. The tool used is WIPL D Pro CAD, allowing Boolean operations, solid modelling, automated quadrilateral mesh etc. Features such as total imaging and edging are done in seconds.

The model is made according to specifications from the Microwave Journal published in May 2008. Duration of the complete process of fully-parametric model creation and simulation in WIPL-D Pro is approximately one hour.

The simulation takes several seconds per frequency point at standard desktop PC, with extremely small number of unknowns. The frequency band from 0.5 to 3 GHz with 10 resonances present requires only 65 frequency points, due to powerful built-in interpolation.
