BahrinY. 2201092In this study, a new Compact Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) fed antenna is presented. The impedance matching and the radiation characteristics of this proposed structure is studied using method of moment techniques. The proposed antenna is based on CPW feed configuration with C shaped patch and two notches. The achievable bandwidth of the proposed antenna obtained about 400 MHz (5.02-5.42 GHz) at -10 dB return loss which corresponds to WLAN 5.2 GHz frequency band and the achievable gain is 8.5 dBi. Stable radiation characteristics are obtained across the operating band.]]>He, W., R. Jin and J. Geng,200856893895Miao, M., B.L. Ooi and P.S.
