I. I NTRODUCTION
The antenna is designed at 3.1GHz with the structure, as This slot antenna composed of two small slots in the ground
shown in Figure 1(a) [2]. This antenna is designed on AD350, plane that are in T shape.
the substrate with thickness (t) of 0.762mm and dielectric Design :The parameters of this structure are as following:
constant r of 3.5. The T-shaped open-ended slot is made in the • L1 =28mm (total length of slot antenna)
ground plane. The slot is comprised of two open-ended slots • L2 = 22mm (length of the slot along y-axis)
along the x and y-axes. A small notch with dimensions 2X1.5 • L3 = 3.5mm(length of extended notch)
mm was made at the right bottom corner of the slot along
Y-xis. At the opposite side of the ground plane, a microstrip
feed line of width 1.5 mm is printed centrally along the y-
axis. The microstrip line feed is designed to be 50 ohms in
order to match the characteristic impedance of transmission
line. At the open end of this microstrip line, an additional
feed section of dimensions 2X1.5 mm is extended along the
x-axis. The dimension of the slot antenna is referred to the

V. CONCLUSION
A small-size microstrip-fed slot antenna for wideband ap-
plications was designed and successfully implemented. Wide
operating bandwidth is achieved by unifying different resonant
frequencies, whereby impedances matching are accomplished
by loading a small notch and extending a microstrip feed
section. The proposed antenna design is simple and small in
size.
