Abstract

In this paper, we present some of our recent results in the area of designing single- and dual-polarized miniaturized slot antennas. Examples of miniaturized slot antennas that are 15 to 20 times smaller than traditional dipole or patch antennas are presented and discussed. In particular two examples of miniaturized on-chip slot antennas, operating at 5.0 GHz and 9.0 GHz frequency bands, integrated with radio frequency integrated circuits on a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chips are presented and discussed. Finally, the design and operational principles of a dual-polarized electrically small slot antenna is presented.
