Abstract :
A new miniaturized printed antenna is presented as a dual structure to the miniature folded slot antenna. It is referred to as a miniaturized printed folded-dipole. This antenna requires neither a ground plane, nor any matching network. Considering its size, this resonant antenna has a fairly wide bandwidth. If a large enough ground plane is readily available, the miniaturized slot antenna exhibits superior efficiency compared to its printed dual.
