Ultra-wideband elliptical slot antenna fed by tapered microstrip line with U-shaped tuning stub

Abstract

A printed elliptical slot antenna fed by tapered microstrip line with U‐shaped tuning stub is proposed for ultra‐wideband (UWB) applications in this paper. The design parameters for achieving optimal performance are investigated. The operation and characteristics of the proposed antenna are also analyzed. Good agreement is obtained between the simulation and the experiment. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Progress in ultra-wideband planar antennas

“…In July 2005, a modified bow-tie slot antenna with asymmetric apertures fed by a taper CPWto-CPW transition and loaded with inductively coupled slots was proposed (see Fig.4) [13] , provided a bandwidth of 123% that is enough for UWB applications. In December 2005, another printed elliptical slot antenna fed by a tapered CPW with the U-shaped tuning stub was reported with a bandwidth from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz, as shown in Fig.5 [14] .…”

New design of a CPW‐fed ultrawideband slot antenna

“…The antenna is an important component, which determines the performance of UWB systems; moreover one of principal subjects in UWB device is to design a compact antenna. Recently, UWB antenna development tends to concentrate on small planar antennas [2][3][4]. Since the key of miniaturization technique is to decrease the first resonant frequency.…”

Towards a hardware implementation of ultra-wideband beamforming

“…In this work, four small planar printed monopoles with a rectangular shape [3] and four elliptical slot monopoles [4] are manufactured and individually driven by a pulser prototype printed circuit board (PCB). This paper is organised as follows: In section II, antenna measurements in the far-and nearfield are documented and discussed which were taken in the anechoic chamber of Bristol University.…”
