Abstract :
A novel shorted dual C-slot printed antenna is presented. The antenna consists of two C-shaped slots embedded within the shorted patch antenna to maximise the current path of the antenna. A 10 dB return loss bandwidth of 5.4% has been achieved. The overall dimension of the antenna is 0.11λ0×0.074λ0×0.074λ0 and is suitable for application where limited space is a premium. Importantly, the antenna is easy to develop.
