Abstract
In this paper, a Circularly Polarized (CP) rectangular patch Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antenna is presented for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) applications. The designed geometry is constructed of a quasi-rectangular radiator and a partial ground plane. It is printed on the low-cost FR-4 substrate that has a compact size of 25?30?1.5 mm3. The calculated Impedance Bandwidth (IBW) of the proposed CP quasi-rectangular patch antenna is spanning from 3.16 GHz to 13.7 GHz (125.03%). Moreover, the measured IBW of the fabricated prototype is spanning from 3.2 GHz to greater than 14 GHz (>125.58%) which covers the entire UWB range. Besides, the designed antenna reveals a wide Axial Ratio Band-Width (ARBW) extending from 4.23 GHz to 7.02 GHz (49.6%). Therefore, stable radiation patterns with an agreeable peak gain and high radiation efficiency are simulated over the whole working bandwidth.
