Abstract
In this paper, an electrically small chip antenna is presented for 5G WiMAX and WLAN applications. In this work, multiple vias and virtual ground (VG) are used to design a multiband miniaturized antenna. The feeding pad for the antenna is mounted on a 50-Omega microstrip feed line. The proposed antenna offers -10dB impedance bandwidth of 130 MHz and 440MHz in WiMAX and 5GHz WLAN band respectively. The surface area of the chip antenna is approximately 0.09× 0.04 textmm2, wherecorrespond to the wavelength at 3.5GHz. Due to its compact surface area, the proposed antenna can be mounted onto the circuit board of any wireless devices such as a dongle, Wi-Fi receiver, laptops smartphone etc.
