Abstract :
Due to the limited space availability in wireless equipments, the demand for small size, easily mounted and light weight antenna covering required bands is required. We seek to improve the performance of a given microstrip antenna with a rotated printed wide slot on the ground plane. By introducing E-shaped patch in the center of the rotated slot, the BW of the antenna to cover different wireless communication applications such as WLAN, WIMAX and UWB applications will be enhanced.
