Conclusion
A compact CP antenna covering the
entire WLAN & WiMAX bands with
more ARBW and gain is to be
designed which can be done using
i.

Making perturbations in the LP

antenna which is covering all these
bands with smallest size e.g 21 (in this
ppt.)
ii. Working with the Meta-surfaces and
use the examples of 30 & 40 in these
slides.
