Abstract :
This paper presents a study of a printed rectangular slot antenna that has been folded twice by using a multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) structure. The investigation carried out show there is an optimal way to fold the slot antenna while keeping its intrinsic electrical behavior and achieving an interesting size reduction. The potential of the proposed concept is demonstrated with the design of a folded slot antenna devoted for WLAN or Bluetooth applications operating in the 2.4GHz band, using low-cost multilayer FR4 substrate.
