Abstract
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) are new, fast growing telecommunication protocols. In order to attract the commercial market, antennas for WLAN applications have to feature low manufacturing cost and pleasant aesthetic appearance. Radial Line Slot Array (RLSA) antennas seem to provide such features. This article focuses on the design and development of Radial Line Slot Array antenna for WLAN applications in indoor environment. The presented theoretical results meet good return loss and specified radiation pattern requirements. A parameter study followed by an optimization procedure is presented. Discussion on level of influence of various parameters on return loss characteristic is described.
