Abstract :
The design of a small printed slot antenna for ultra-wideband application is presented. The antenna is simply formed by an L-shaped slot embedded at the centre of the ground plane, a 50 Ω microstrip-fed line, a rectangular slit connected with the L-shaped slot and another rectangular slit at the bottom of the ground plane. The antenna has small dimensions of 16 × 28 × 0.8 mm3. The impedance bandwidth with 10 dB return loss of the antenna is from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz, in which there is two rejected bands which cover 3.3-3.73 and 5.15-5.9 GHz.
