The effect of the slotline is tested on an ultra wideband antenna. The antenna consists of a rectangular patch with two steps, a single slot on the patch, and partial ground plane. The design is simulated on FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm. In this work, the ef...
