Abstract In this Letter, we analyzed a cross‐shaped‐fed opened print slot antenna using FDTD method. The VSWR, radiation patterns of this configuration are presented. The measured bandwidth of the proposed antenna is ∼ 86.1% (2.0 ≥ VSWR). The radiation pattern null of opened (etched ground plane) slot exhibited a much better than not‐opened (not etching ground plane) slot at the high frequency band. Offset and other design parameters of the antenna lead to the good impedance matching in a wide frequency band. The proposed open antenna obtained not only wide‐band but also good radiation patterns characteristics. This antenna may be applied for mobile system, WBAN, Home network, Biomedical instruments, and other wireless communication systems. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
