DUAL-WIDEBAND SQUARE SLOT ANTENNA WITH A U-SHAPED PRINTED TUNING STUB FOR PERSONAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

A square slot antenna fed by two orthogonal feedlines is designed for dual polarized applications. The presented antenna has not only dual operating band, but also very wide bandwidth. The bandwidth is 18% in the first band and 82% in the second one. It can sever most of wireless communication applications that operate at 0.9, 1.8, 1.9 and 2.4 GHz and require wide band characteristics.
