Abstract

This paper presents a very compact printed antenna with simple and novel radiator for Ultra-Wideband applications. The proposed antenna is fed by a coplanar waveguide feed line to achieve wide bandwidth performance. The impedance bandwidth of the antenna is from 2.88 to 12.82GHz for which S11 < -10dB, which constitutes about 127%. The total size of the fabricated antenna is 18 × 27 × 0.787mm3. The radiation patterns of the antenna are measured and presented. Also the effects of dimensional parameters on the performance of the antenna are investigated through a parametric study. The agreement obtained between the measured and simulated results is excellent.
