Abstract
In this paper, a microstrip slot antenna with a fork-shaped feedline is designed and fabricated. To obtain a broadband characteristic of a wide slot antenna a feedline is transformed into a shape of a fork, and a size of the slot and offset - length is varied. As the characteristics of the slot antenna as the function of design parameters are analyzed, a broadband microstrip slot antenna is designed. The microstrip slot antenna with a fork-shaped feedline is fabricated and its measured bandwidth is from 1.65 GHz to 6.20 GHz for VSWR$\leq$2.
