Abstract
In this article, a printed flame‐shaped monopole antenna with a self‐similar slot for wideband application has been presented and investigated. The wideband characteristic is easily achieved by inserting a self‐similar slot in the flame‐shaped radiator. The effect of the slot is investigated. We discover that the slot can be effectively used for bandwidth enhancement, while the position of the slot has a negligible effect on the performance of the proposed antenna. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna obtains a bandwidth from 2.65 to over 12 GHz with VSWR < 2. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A planar monopole antenna suitable for broadband wireless communication is designed and developed. With the use of a truncated ground plane, the proposed printed monopole antenna offers nearly 60% 2:1 VSWR bandwidth and good radiation characteristics for the frequencies across the opera
This article presents a new wideband slot antenna for wireless applications at 5.8 GHz. To improve the antenna bandwidth, a new feeding mechanism based on a capacitively-and inductively-coupled slot is proposed. To demonstrate this approach, an experimental antenna prototype operating at the 5.8-GHz
## Abstract A small multi‐slot antenna is designed for RF and microwave sensors and radar applications. The design was realized using a series of parallel slots with tapered lengths, fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) to support wideband operation. The designed multi‐slot antenna provides a 50% band
