  • Abstract
    In this paper, a miniature printed quasi-self-complementary antenna fed by a microstrip line is proposed for UWB applications. A triangular slot is embedded on the ground plane to improve the impedance matching of the antenna. It has been illustrated that the optimal design of this type of antenna can yield an ultrawide impedance bandwidth with reasonable radiation properties.
