Miniature crescent shaped UWB antenna

Abstract

A miniature ultra-wide band (UVB) antenna is presented. The size of the antenna is 17 mm  18 mm  1.575 mm. The antenna radiates at 3.4-20 GHz. The bandwidth of the antenna almost covers the entire UVB of 3.1-10.6 GHz. The size of the antenna is very small. The proposed antenna is fabricated and measured. The experimental results are in a good agreement with the simulated results. V C 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 23:494-498, 2013.

An ultra‐wideband surface wave antenna with reduced ground plane effects

“…Since then, various antennas are developed for different UWB applications. Among these, the planar UWB monopole antennas 1‐13 become most popular because of their attractive features like low profile, planar nature and flexibility to integrate with other microwave circuit components. However, radiation from such UWB antennas are from both the radiator and the ground plane.…”

Design of double‐sided axe‐shaped ultra‐wideband antenna with reduced radar cross‐section

“…On the other hand, the ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna designs gained more importance at military and civilian applications with the continuous development of UWB radar and communication systems [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. UWB microstrip antennas are preferred in many military applications such as UWB radars and military high data-rate wireless communications because of its low profile, easy fabrication and low production cost.…”

A Novel CPW-Fed UWB Antenna with Band-Stop Function

“…The microstrip UWB antennas have been designed and studied in the past few years. Some different geometries antennas with wide bandwidth have been reported in [2][3][4][5][6]. In [2], a monopole antenna with two parasitic elements and partial ground plane is designed and fabricated at 3.5 GHz-20 GHz on 30 × 35 mm 2 substrate.…”

“…In [3], the dimensions of the rectangular ground planes and the split-ring loops are tuned for achieving a very wide bandwidth antenna from 2 GHz to 20 GHz. In [4], a miniature crescent-shaped UWB antenna is studied at 3.4 GHz-20 GHz with only 17 × 18 × 1.575 mm 3 . Antenna features a coplanar waveguide single strip terminated with a semielliptic stub and a modified ground plane to achieve bandwidth from 2.85 GHz to 20 GHz with 22.85 × 21.42 mm 2 is presented in [5].…”

“…CPW-fed UWB slot antenna is designed which operates at 3 GHz-20 GHz, and its dimension is 63.53 × 45 mm 2 in [6]. From [1][2][3][4][5][6], the CPW technology is used, and it reaches 17-18 GHz bandwidth and relatively compact size. Some different geometries antennas with narrow bandwidth are presented in [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
