Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. A slot antenna for mounting on overhead power lines is presented. The antenna enables autonomous sensor systems to communicate in the 2.4 GHz band. Using two radiating slots the simulated antenna gain is 7.9 dBi. The usable bandwidth is more than 300 MHz. Experiments performed on a deactivated power line confirm that the conductors and the power poles do not influence the radiation characteristic significantly.
