ABSTRACT
In this manuscript, miniaturized dual-band slot antenna design for cordless telephone application is presented. This proposed microstrip feed dual-band miniaturized slot antenna is designed using rectangular loops and slits. For dual-band miniaturized slot antenna, first resonant is achieved by loading with six number of slits on both the side of the slot of reference antenna, which is antenna 1. Then the second resonant is achieved by the loading with two rectangular loops on the middle of slot which is antenna 2. Hence, the combination of antenna 1 and 2 construct a dual-band antenna that resonates at resonance frequencies of 1.88 and 3.17 GHz respectively. As a result, we have achieved the reduction in resonant frequency 42.85% with 111.18% enhanced impedance bandwidth for first resonant frequency and 3.64% reduction for second one in comparison with reference slot antenna.
