N2 - Thin, broad-band, E-shaped microstrip patch antennas (ESPAs), operating in the 5-6 GHz frequency range, are presented. They are intended for high-speed (IEEE 802.11a, 54 Mb/s) wireless computer local area networks (WLAN) and other wireless communication systems. They are suitable for WLAN adaptor cards in the PCMCIA (also known as PC) format, allowing users of current notebook computers to upgrade to this high-speed wireless standard at a low cost. Importantly, our antennas are thin enough to be accommodated in a PCMCIA card of standard 5-mm thickness, without making the antenna end thicker than the card itself. Two different closely spaced antenna pairs are also presented for diversity. A new ESPA configuration with a microstrip feed is presented for easy integration with microwave transceivers. In all cases, within the two IEEE 802.11a WLAN bands (5.15-5.35 GHz and 5.725-5.825 GHz), the reflection coefficient at the antenna input is < -10 dB and in both antenna pair. s, mutual coupling between the two antennas is < -20 dB.
