Medical diagnostic systems demand wideband antennas with directive radiation patterns. In addition, portable systems require low profile and light weight antennas to be incorporated. These necessities of modern microwave-based diagnostic systems are addressed in this reported work. The antenna is built with two simple thoroughly printed structures connected to each other using two copper walls, forming a loop-like geometry. The top element is capacitively loaded with a pair of symmetrically placed slots and fed with a coplanar waveguide (CPW). The antenna works like a small loop in the lower resonating mode and as a folded-dipole in the higher modes. The antenna exhibits a 109% bandwidth with stable radiation patterns of an about 9 dB front-to-back ratio over most of the band with only a profile of 0.05λ (λ = wavelength at the lowest frequency). The measured and the simulated results show that the proposed antenna is suitable for wideband medical imaging systems.
