Very compact yet efficient UWB antennas are created by utilizing the ground plane as the antenna. There are notches in the ground plane, some to act as the coupling element(s), and some for optimizing the antenna bandwidth. The performance of the antennas compares favorably with wideband dipole designs occupying the same area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
