Abstract :
In this paper, a CPW-fed UWB slot antenna using extremely thin substrate has been presented. Good bandwidth characteristics have been achieved and the radiation patterns are stable among different frequencies. According to measurement results, the paper-thin antennas are also found to have the potential to be used as wearable antennas or the vehicular antennas
