Abstract :
This paper presents a small dual C-slot printed antenna. The antenna consists-of two C-shaped slots embedded within the shorted patch antenna to maximise the current path of the antenna. The proposed antenna is significantly smaller than a conventional microstrip antenna and a shorted patch antenna. The performance of the new antenna is studied with its return loss and radiation characteristics presented here.
