Development of fluorescent tube antenna array for Wi-Fi application

The design of plasma antenna array for Wi-Fi application, operating at 2.4 GHz is presented in this paper. Two pieces of fluorescent tube with same dimension of 586 mm length and 24.2 mm diameter was used for this plasma antenna. The antennas are arranged in two parallel side-by-side. The gap betwee...

Description
Summary:The design of plasma antenna array for Wi-Fi application, operating at 2.4 GHz is presented in this paper. Two pieces of fluorescent tube with same dimension of 586 mm length and 24.2 mm diameter was used for this plasma antenna. The antennas are arranged in two parallel side-by-side. The gap between two fluorescent tubes is 10 mm. Both tubes are filled with argon and mercury vapor. The proposed antenna is simulated using CST Microwave Studio to study its performance in terms of return loss, radiation pattern and gain. © 2015 IEEE.
