Abstract:

A coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed printed antenna with a Bow-Tie and a triangle slot is proposed. The antenna consists of loaded stub inside the Bow-Tie slot area. A prototype of the antenna for working at 1.7GHz to 2.6GHz band fabricated and measurements conducted too. The proposed antenna provides wideband characteristics with almost 50% bandwidth (1.7 GHz to 2.6 GHz) around the centre frequency of 2.15 GHz. In addition to wide impedance bandwidth of the antenna its size has kept as small as possible to satisfy the compact size requirements. Conducted measurements for reflection coefficient (S11) and radiation pattern validate our simulation results.
