Abstract :
A new uni-planar coplanar waveguide slot antenna is presented. The antenna is used to efficiently excite the dominant transverse magnetic (TM) mode inside a grounded slab. The antenna design and optimisation using two commercially available softwares are described. The antenna was fabricated and tested. Good agreement between the numerical and experimental results is obtained
