A flexible circular polarized wide band slot antenna for indoor IoT applications

In this paper a new configuration for a flexible wide band CPW fed slot antenna is introduced. The proposed slot antenna was simulated on a flexible substrate has compact geometry area of 34 × 25 mm2 qualifies it to meet the integration requirements of small indoor receiver applications. The structure of the slot antenna was designed to achieve circular polarization over wide band. Moreover, the antenna has good far field radiation characteristics over the bandwidth. The design principals along with simulation results are presented in this work.
