A slot antenna integrated in a photovoltaic panel has been designed and optimized for IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless LANs applications (2400-2485 MHz). The radiating element has been optimized by exploiting the space available among adjacent solar cells, without decreasing the PV panel solar efficiency. Finally, a comparison between the proposed antenna and a commercial dipole has been carried out, in terms of received power level and goodput performance.

Abstract
A slot antenna integrated in a photovoltaic panel has been designed and optimized for IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless LANs applications (2400-2485 MHz). The radiating element has been optimized by exploiting the space available among adjacent solar cells, without decreasing the PV panel solar efficiency. Finally, a comparison between the proposed antenna and a commercial dipole has been carried out, in terms of received power level and goodput performance.File in questo prodotto:
