Abstract: In this paper, a broadband coplanar waveguide (CPW)fed inductive slot antenna is presented. It consists of a conventional CPW inductive slot antenna and a CPW inductively coupled slot antenna in the feeding network. The experimental results provide the characteristic of excellent enhancement of impedance bandwidth (VSWR < 2). The impedance bandwidth of this broadband antenna can reach about 4.5 GHz (2.35-6.85 GHz). Details of the antenna design and experimental results are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
