Two printed wide-slot antennas with E-shaped patches and slots for broadband applications are proposed. They are fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) and a Microstrip line with the performances that are almost same. Detailed simulation and experimental investigations are conducted to understand their behaviour and optimize for operations of broadband. Good agreement between the measurement and simulation has been achieved. We have obtained the large operating bandwidth by choosing suitable combinations of feed and shapes of slot. In order to achieve wider operation bandwidth both of the designed antennas have round corners on the wide patch and slot. Meanwhile the proposed antennas exhibit almost omnidirectional radiation patterns and low cross polarization and relatively high gain. A comprehensive numerical sensitivity analysis has been done to understand the effects of various dimensional parameters and to optimize the performance of the designed antennas.

Individual behaviour in terms of investment is influenced by various factors that might change the decision making of the individual. The study is conducted to determine the perception and investors’ behaviour regarding investment in stocks, factors considered while investing in stocks and to determine the reason for not investing in stocks. This research paper is a result of primary data that is collected by 330 respondents. The study found background of the company, expected return, FII interest, statistics of daily stock activities, and promoters shareholding as the important factors behind taking the investment decisions in the stock. The study also found the reasons for not investing in stocks are risk involved, lack of awareness and they have other preferences for the investment. The study found Gender, Age And Occupation as the significant factors and annual income and education as the non-significant factors while taking investment decisions.
