Abstract
A review paper concerning wide-band and ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas used for wireless communication purposes in terms of the materials as well as a numerical analysis is presented. These antennas which are taken into account are listed as wide-band microstrip antenna, wide-band monopole antenna over a plate, wide-slot UWB antenna, stacked patch UWB antenna, taper slot (TSA) UWB antenna, metamaterial (MTM) structure UWB antennas, elliptical printed monopole UWB antenna, and flexible wearable UWB antenna. The antennas’ performance is compared based on their size and how they can be applicable for portable communication device applications. This review paper furnishes a proper direction to select varieties of figures in terms of impedance bandwidth, gain, directivity, dimensions, time domain characteristics, and materials affecting these antenna’s characteristics.
Highlights
Antennas are known as a device which can send and receive signals
It systematically reviews progress of the field within 10 previous years until the latest reported in a thorough overview for the advantage of the field readership, especially critically highlighting the untouched existing gaps that showed the necessity for new endeavour in exploring novel answers for these possible research questions
The results showed that the impedance BW remained unchanged for both cases of the simulations, except the axial ratio (AR) which was altered dramatically as the AR became more than 15 dB for the rectangular slot, and it was kept below 3 dB when it changed to stair-shaped for a wider BW
Summary
Antennas are known as a device which can send and receive signals. the speed of this send and receive process is a challenging interest especially when fast development of communication technologies matters. The transceiver systems applied for communications are listed as follows: wide-band microstrip, wide-band monopole antenna over a plate, wide-slot UWB antenna, stacked patch UWB antenna, taper slot (TSA) UWB antenna, elliptical printed monopole UWB antenna, metamaterial (MTM) structure UWB antennas, and dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs). These antennas have been changed based on the need to improve their performances .
