Abstract

This paper presents a wire antenna for multi-band WLAN applications, designed using the Structure-Based Evolutionary Programming, and having a very simple geometry. The antenna has been analysed with NEC-2 during the evolutionary process, and the outcome of the procedure shows a very good performance, with a -10dB bandwidth that covers the required frequencies for multi-band WLAN applications (2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz) and beyond, and an end-fire gain greater than 12 dB.
