Abstract

Objectives: This paper explains about the staircase antenna with characteristics of ultra-wide band (UWB). The design of proposed work describes stairs along the radiating patch with micro strip feed. Method/Statistical Analysis: The projected ultra-wide band antenna is designed and simulated using High Frequency Simulation Software (HFSS). Findings: The simulation and Measured result of the antenna prove that it has a good impedance matching over the UWB frequency range from 3.5 - 10.4GHz. The VSWR is less than 2 for entire operating frequency range. This antenna finds its uses in WiMax and Wi-Fi without interference. Stair Case patch design is chosen to get ultra wide bandwidth and strips are introduced to get band notch characteristics. Applications: The proposed antenna is suitable for its use in WPAN applications and for short range communication. Keywords: Rectangular Planar Ultra-Wide Band Antenna, Stepped Micro Strip Feed, Stepped Partial

Summary

Introduction

In commercial use purpose tremendous growth has been observed in UWB technology since FCC release the frequency range of 3.1-10.6 GHz1-4. Ultra-wide band (UWB) components become popular and attractive for short range high data rate wireless communication due to development in high rate data network[5]. As mentioned by FCC, the UWB antenna operation should be in the ultra wide range i.e. 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. An Over the desired range of frequencies the designed UWB antenna should exhibit excellent VSWR, coverage, gain and bandwidth. This paper proposes the design of a new printed monopole antenna for UWB applications. The shape of rectangular radiator is cut into stairs like structure to form a printed monopole antenna that radiate in UWB frequency range
