Abstract

A new compact design of CPW-fed wideband (WB) spiral-shaped slot antenna is proposed. The proposed antenna has a compact size with overall dimensions 37×33 mm and is fabricated on FR4 substrate with dielectric constant εr = 4.4 and thickness h = 1.6 mm. With the different length of the spiral-shaped slots, simulated and experimental results of the antenna are suitable for WB operations. The –10 dB bandwidth of the WB antenna from measurement is approximately 115.2% (2.36–8.53 GHz). The proposed antenna provides nearly omni-directional radiation characteristics. The new antenna configuration operates in several different bands: 2.4, 3.5, 5.2, 5.5, and 5.8 GHz covering 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN bands and 2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz WiMAX bands. The results for S11, far-field H- and E-plane radiation patterns and gain of the proposed antennas are presented and discussed. The agreement between measured results and full-wave simulation validates the feasible configuration of the proposed antennas.
