Abstract

Enhanced UWB Printed Monopole Antenna Based on Ground Plane Modifications

Highlights

  • Printed circuit antennas are becoming more and more under consideration with a great number of research papers, reports and books to deal with this type of antennas

  • We introduce a simple design with small size to get a large bandwidth for ultra wide band (UWB) applica

  • The proposed design started with a simple rectangular patch, microstrip feed line and simple partial ground plane

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Printed circuit antennas are becoming more and more under consideration with a great number of research papers, reports and books to deal with this type of antennas. In 2002, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) approved the first report for UWB technology to be operating in the frequency range (3.1 - 10.6) GHz with maximum radiated power of -41.3 dBm/MHz [1] These UWB patch antennas are designed with different geometries; i.e., triangular [2], circular disc [3] and rectangular [4]. Circular shaped slots and a ring are inserted into the patch while diagonal cuts at the top corners of the partial ground plane with two rectangular slots making the bandwidth (2.75 – 20) GHz (151.6%). Adding a rectangular slot at the top edge of the partial ground plane for a circular patch UWB antenna [14] increases the bandwidth to reach (3.3 – 20) GHz 193%.
