Abstract :
In this work, a cubical 3D folded slot antenna with a polarized Omni directional rational pattern at azimuth plane has been analyzed, designed and optimized. Generally, the structure is a 3D folded microstrip fed slot antenna with constructive pattern with gain of 1.8dB at azimuth plane. This configuration is fully printable by 3D printers. The cubical antenna with an edge length of 3cm works at ISM 2.45GHz frequency band for the sake of compatibility with most of wireless sensor network protocols as well as telecommunication facilities.
