Small chip dielectric antenna for bluetooth application

Abstract

This paper proposes the design of a small chip-type dielectric antenna using the advanced meander line technique, so that the radiation metals are formed on the bottom face of a ceramic dielectric (8 X 4 X 1.5 mm(3), alumina) and on both faces of the substrate (thickness 1.0 mm, FR4). The performance of the proposed antenna mode, which remarkably reduced the size, shows good agreement between measured and computed results The measured results show that this antenna has 11.2% bandwidth (2.35-2.63 GHz \S11\ < - 10 dB) and 2.3-dBi maximum radiation gain, respectively.
