Wideband rectangular slot antenna for personal wireless communication systems

Abstract

Antenna designs are achieved for wideband operation by the use of a coplanar patch-slot antenna, fed by a coplanar waveguide. This design is easily tuned to operate at 2.45 and 5.75 GHz, with wide bandwidth for wireless systems. The operating frequency is controlled by modifying the patch dimensions. The return loss, input impedance, radiation pattern, directivity, gain, and efficiency of the proposed designs are computed and presented. A parametric study of the antenna is also introduced.
