Abstract :
A new geometrical configuration of a widebandwidth thin slotted antenna with a ground plane is introduced that can be conformally placed on any arbitrary surface. Special geometries are chosen to reduce the corresponding surface area of the antenna for low frequency applications. The parameters associated with antenna, its response as a function of frequency and its possible application areas are presented.
