Summary:
A wide-band planar open slot array antenna is presented. It consists of a circular disk on the top of a feeding monopole probe and four L-shaped open slot array structure. By combining these two structures with microstrip lines, it acts as a LC resonator for radiation. The four L-shaped open slots are arranged to maintain a geometrical symmetry. As a result, the size of the antenna is miniaturized and it shows a dipole like radiation pattern. The proposed antenna is designed for the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) frequency band (2.4GHz ? 2.49 GHz). Experimental results show good agreement with the simulated ones.
