Sahar Mardani Ghahfarokhi, Alireza Mallahzadeh, Sara Jafarpoor . A Novel Compact Dual-band Slot Antenna. International Journal of Computer Applications. 51, 22 ( August 2012), 38-40. DOI=10.5120/8345-1933
This paper introduces a compact dual-band slot antenna using spiral inductive loaded resonators. The radiating elements of the proposed antenna are composed of two balanced short circuited slot lines. To design a dual-band antenna, the microstrip feed line is somehow implemented to provide three short circuit points between the antenna and the feed lines. The antenna size is very compact, and can be integrated easily with other RF front-end circuits for dual-band applications. It is demonstrated that the proposed antenna can provide dual-band behavior with satisfactory radiation characteristics.
