Abstract :
This paper presents a Wideband Slot Antenna for 4G applications. The presented antenna includes a T-shape resonator fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW). The prototype of the proposed antenna has been fabricated and measured results show that wideband operation has been obtained. The radiation characteristics of the offered antenna such as impedance bandwidth, gain and radiation pattern have been measured. The wideband frequency range from 1.72 GHz to 2.85 GHz has been achieved and covered several LTE bands.
