            Abstract : 
A novel Electrically Small Antenna (ESA) for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications is proposed. The antenna element occupies an area of 15mm × 10 mm on a substrate of thickness 1.6mm and relative permittivity 4.4. A Stepped Impedance Resonator (SIR) is employed for obtaining the resonance. The 2:1 VSWR impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 44 MHz. The radiation patterns are slightly directional and the maximum measured gain is -1.3 dBi at 2.42 GHz.
