Abstract :
A novel CBCPW-fed finite ground slot dipole antenna has been proposed. Using the fringing fields at one of the ground edge, the proposed antenna has been shown to provide improved gains and smoother patterns over the conventional CBCPW-fed slot antennas. This antenna is well-suited for applications of slot antennas requiring compactness and unidirectional radiation with back conducting planes.
