   AIR-AP1131AG Antenna System Design Specification

1. Introduction
   The AIR-AP1131AG access point is a dual band, simultaneous AP supporting
   802.11b and 802.11g in the 2.4 GHz band and 802.11a in all the available 5 GHz
   bands. As such, the product contains a total of 4 antennas. There are two antennas
   for the 2.4 GHz band and two antennas for the 5 GHz band. The design and
   operation of these antennas is covered in this document.

3. Antenna Design
   An inverted-F antenna will be used for both bands. This antenna type is shown in the
   Figure 1 below. It is formed by bending a monopole antenna down over a ground
   plane and then driving the resultant antenna away from the grounded end to achieve a
   50 Ω driving point impedance. Typically, these antennas are built using a flat plate,
   rather than a wire, for VSWR bandwidth considerations.
