The proposed antenna consists of a dipole with periodic capacitive loading and a pair of coplanar striplines （CPSs） as an impedance transformer. By adding interlaced coupling lines at each section, periodic capacitive loading is realized. The periodic interlaced coupling lines divide each arm of the dipole into five sections, and currents are distributed on different sections at different frequencies, which is useful to achieve a wide impedance bandwidth. By parametric study using HFSS, the optimized parameters of this dipole antenna are obtained. In order to validate the simulation results, a prototype of the proposed dipole antenna is fabricated and tested. The results show that the proposed antenna can achieve a gain of 3.1 dB–5.1 dB and bandwidth of 51% for ｜S 11 ｜ 10 dB over the band of 3.9 GHz–6.6 GHz, indicating its good radiation performance and radiation efficiency.展开更多
