Abstract

A dual-band bow-tie slot antenna is proposed and designed for the 900 and 2400 MHz ISM bands. Using Rogers 4003C substrate (∊ r = 3.55) with a thickness of 1.6 mm, the antenna is produced and tested. A comparison is made between measured and simulated data from both a Method of Moments and Finite-Element method software packages. By using a parabolic curve to form the sides of the bow-tie slot, the new antenna integrates features from a Vivaldi antenna into its design. Using these features, the antenna achieves dual-band operation while maintaining an omni-directional pattern similar to a normal bow-tie slot. The parabolic sides of this bow-tie slot antenna offers an additional design element for other CPW fed slot antenna designs.
