. This antenna consists of an elliptical radiator and a square ground plane with an elliptical slot on one side of the substrate. Besides, two circles with a radius of 2 mm were dug from the edge of the outer ellipse to realise the bandwidth requirement. To avoid interference from Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, a single open-ended elliptical arc-shaped slot was ...
