Abstract
In this manuscript, the design of a compact-size circular patch Ultra- Wideband (UWB) antenna with enhanced fractional bandwidth (BW), peak realized gain (PRG), and proper impedance matching is presented. The modified antenna has three circular slots etched from the circular path (top), fed by a 50? microstrip feed line. These circular slots play a significant role in improving the impedance bandwidth. Additionally, the partial ground plane with a slot integrated with a rectangular stub is used in order to achieve a bandwidth for an operating range of 3.25 GHz - 27 GHz. The proposed antenna is designed, fabricated, and tested in the laboratory in order to validate with simulation data. The designed antenna size is 25 mm ? 20 mm ? 0.508 mm. The experimental value of 10 dB return loss absolute/fractional BW of 23.75 GHz/157.08% at the center frequency, minimum/ maximum gain of 5.90/12.05 dBi, and maximum /minimum radiation efficiency of 85/97 % are achieved from the 3.25 GHz to 27 GHz frequency range. In addition, a comparison table is provided to prove the state-of-the-art of the antenna?s design. The proposed antenna is suitable for wireless services, radar, and satellite communication.
