            Abstract : 
In this paper, we proposed a novel design to further enhance impedance bandwidth by varying the shape of the open slot. The measured bandwidth of the proposed antenna defined by return loss >10 dB is about 130%, from 2.3 to 10.9 GHz. The proposed open slot antenna will be implemented, and the detail antenna design and experimental results are presented and discussed.
