Abstract :
A novel broadband design of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed T-shape slot antenna is proposed and experimentally studied. The antenna impedance and bandwidth are studied as function of substrate dielectric constant and shrinkage factor. The obtained results show that the impedance bandwidth, determined by 10-dB return loss, of the proposed slot antenna can be as large as 800 MHz or about 13% centered at about 6 GHz.
