Abstract :
A compact printed wide-slot antenna for wideband operation is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of a microstrip feed line with widened tuning stub and a wide rectangular slot with a T-shaped slot. The prototype of the proposed antenna has been successfully constructed and tested. Experimental results show that the -10 dB impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna can reach about 99% from 2.00 GHz to 5.89 GHz and these frequency bands cover the 2.4/5.2/5.8 bands for WLAN applications and 2.5/3.5/5 GHz bands for WiMAX applications. Details of the antenna design, some significant parametric studies and experimental results are also described and discussed.
