Design and Measurement of Self-Matched Dual-Frequency Coplanar Waveguide-Fed-Slot Antennas

Abstract

Two new designs of dual frequency coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed double folded slot antennas are presented. An important advantage of these antennas is that they are self-matched to the feeding CPW without the need for external matching circuit. This reduces the antenna size and simplifies its design. To verify the designs, the return loss and radiation patterns are measured and compared to those obtained using available commercial software with good agreement
