Design CPW Fed Slot Antenna for Wideband Applications

Abstract

In this paper, a CPW-fed slot antenna for wideband application was designed and simulated. In order to examine the performances of this antenna, a prototype was designed at frequency 2.4GHz and simulated with various width of slot antenna in both sides for input impedances matching and simulated by IE3D software package of Zeland. The simulation result of bandwidth is 1.65GHz (2.1{3.75 GHz) which covers the standard frequency of IEEE 802.11 b/g (2.4{2.4835GHz) and Wimax (2.3{3.6GHz). With these performances, the proposed antenna can be used in wideband applications. DOI: 10.2529/PIERS061009084055
