Summary:
We have observed that the size and shape of the conducting reflector of CPW-fed slot antennas using loading metallic strips and a widened tuning stub have significant impact on the antenna impedance matching and radiation pattern. By shaping the reflecting conductor, noticeable enhancements in both radiation pattern which provides uni-directional all frequency operating band and characteristic impedance matching are achieved.
