UWB square split ring resonator slot antenna for WLAN and C band application

In this paper, a novel UWB square split ring resonator slot antenna is presented. The antenna is electromagnetically fed by a U- shaped microstrip line, and is operating from 4.61 GHz to 8.75 GHz. The gain and pattern plots of the antenna are included in the paper. The entire antenna only occupies a compact volume. The proposed antenna is analyzed both numerically with Ansoft HFSS and CST.
