Abstract
AbstractA novel design of compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)‐fed slot antenna for wireless applications is presented. It can operate in the IEEE 802.11a frequency band from 5 GHz to 5.5 GHz. The antenna is designed on a RT/duroid 5880 substrate with a permittivity 2.22 and with the size of 18.8 mm × 12.3 mm × 3.175 mm. The antenna has a 5% voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) (2.3:1) bandwidth around 5.24 GHz. The fundamental parameters of the antenna, such as impedance, return loss, VSWR, and polarization are obtained. All meets the acceptable antenna standards. Simulation tool, based on the method of moments (ZELAND IE3D version 12.0), has been used to analyze and optimize the antenna. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
