A study of printed cross-dipole antenna with slow-wave parasitic elements used to achieve high efficiency and directivity is presented. The proposed antenna is designed to operate at WLAN channels (5.15–5.85 GHz), and can produce dual-orthogonal polarisation through a crossed structure. The printed slow-wave elements play a role that concentrates on travelling wave and delays propagation of electromagnetic wave. Measurement results of this antenna show that it has high gain, low side-lobe level and wide bandwidth. This proposed design has advantages in terms of manufacturing the antenna easily and optimising the radiation characteristics.
