  • Abstract
    A new technique is proposed to increase the bandwidth (BW) of a Z-like slot antenna for operation at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, over the industrial-scientific-medical (ISM) bands and the Hiperlan2 bands. By splitting two side slots of the Z-like slot antenna into two or three fingers, several additional resonances can be created. After careful optimization of the geometrical parameters of the antenna, the resonances are merged and thus a wide impedance bandwidth is obtained.
