Abstract :
A new type of a slot antenna in which a slot is formed in wound-type around a dielectric substrate is proposed. In comparison with a conventional meander slot antenna, the proposed antenna has a wider bandwidth and smaller size. The proposed antenna has been designed on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate and fabricated by integrated circuit process for the integration of the antenna with active components. The fabricated antenna has dimensions of 6.2 ×4.1 mm2 and a 10-dB bandwidth of 300 MHz at 5.8 GHz.
