Octaveband slant polarized square slot loop antenna

A printed square slot loop antenna capable of radiating slant 45-degree polarized signals over a wideband is presented. A radial wideband stub feeds the square slot loop at the diagonal and the antenna exhibits an impedance and radiation bandwidth of more than octaveband (1.7 to 3.5 GHz). © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
