Abstract:A microstrip octagonal patch antenna with large bandwidth is proposed for cognitive radio applications. The antenna consists of an arm and patch on the top side and ground plane on the bottom side. By using octagonal patch antenna, large efficiency performance can be achieved. The large bandwidth can be realized by controlling the antenna size. Design and analysis of the proposed antenna for 0.1 -5GHz are discussed. In experimental, VSWR of less than 2 can be obtained for the large operational frequency. Based… Show more
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.
