The design and realization of a wideband substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity-backed slot antenna operating at 2.45 GHz for WLAN applications are presented. Dual dumbbell-shaped slots with rectangular slots are used to achieve increased bandwidth. The bandwidth observed is 160 MHz with the dumbbell-shaped slots. Further, it has been improved up to 9.2% by adding a rectangular slot. The wideband antenna is analyzed using ANSYS HFSS and fabricated on FR-4 substrate. The measured results of the proposed design are in good agreement with the simulation results and comparable with the reported results.
