Abstract :
In the world of microwave and propagation applications, slot antennas with a coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed are receiving lots of attentions during these days. These antennas have several useful properties such as wider impedance bandwidth compared to microstrip patch antennas, and easier integration with solid-state, MIC, MMIC and micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS). In this paper a novel CPW wideband slot antenna is presented. The return loss, impedance matching and radiation pattern parameters of such a structure will be studied. It would be shown that, this novel antenna has got a 50% bandwidth which significantly covers the entire S-band.
