Abstract

The analysis of a low profile patch antenna that supports both fifth and sixth generation wireless LAN devices is proposed. Fifth generation Wi-Fi (wireless-5) conforms to IEEE 802.11ac and sixth generation Wi-Fi (wireless-6) devices conforms to IEEE 802.11ax standardsdefined for indoor WLAN.  OFDM channel allocation scheme isused in wireless-5 standard and OFDMA for wireless-6 devices.A circular ring is etched on the surface of the radiating layer and a rectangular CSRR on the ground plane in the proposed antenna design. The antenna is fabricated on a FR-4 epoxy substrate material and has an overall dimension of 37x30.9x1.2mm. The proposed design achieves a  gain of 3.5dBi. The proposed antenna frequencies centred at 2.4GHz, 3.6GHz,5.4GHz, 6.4GHz, 7GHz,  8.2 GHz with corresponding return loss of -16.5dB, -15.2dB, -16.0dB, -35.0dB, -12.5dB, -12.2dB
