Abstract

A serrated slot antenna includes two annular conductors separated by a slot having a serrated edge. A shorting post connects the annular conductors to each other at some point along the slot. The slot antenna can be made, e.g., by affixing conductive tape to a flexible substrate, photoetching a pattern in the copper-clad surface of a flexible substrate, or machining material from a conductive tubing.
