Abstract :
This paper introduces a new coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed square slot antenna with loading metallic strips and a widened tuning stub for broadband operation. The simulation and experimental results of the proposed antenna show the impedance bandwidth, determined by 10-dB return loss, larger than 67% of the center frequency.
