The advancement in antenna technology is critical in meeting the requirements presented by rapid growth in wireless communication, particularly for Wi-Fi 6E. The promising W-shaped dipole antenna has a small size along with exhibiting broadband characteristics. However, most designs still suffer from issues relating to bandwidth, impedance matching, and gain which impact performance for Wi-Fi 6E applications. To address these constraints, this work applies Parametric Design Optimization and Simulation-based Comparative Analysis (SCA). With parametric optimization, several parameters such as arm length, flare angle, and ground structure are claimed to improve antenna efficiency, gain, and bandwidth. SCA, under realistic performance metrics, benchmarks several configurations to identify the best design. This technique enables the proposed framework to perform through iterative electromagnetic simulations that improve accuracy and efficiency in development. It also refines wideband and impedance matching performance for 5.925-7.125 GHz Wi-Fi 6E. Post fabrication and measurement, the altered antenna was verified to surpass traditional models for return loss, gain, and bandwidth. Its constant radiation and efficiency renders it desirable for next generation high-speed wireless communication systems. This research demonstrates how design optimization alongside comparative analysis offers resilient antenna solutions for future wireless standards
