A novel, short-circuited, ∞at-plate dipole antenna for WLAN operation in the 2.4GHz band is presented. The dipole antenna is narrow (5mm in width) and structured to be of an L shape to flt in corners of possible wireless communications devices. The open ends of the two dipole arms are folded and face each other, so as to achieve a compact structure, and short-circuited via a short-circuiting strip, making it possible for the antenna to be cost-efiectively fabricated by stamping one single metal plate only. The antenna when unbent into a ∞at, rectangular structure has dimensions 5mm £ 47mm and can be easily fed by using a 50-› mini-coaxial cable. Details of a design prototype are described and discussed.
