Abstract:
A Coplanar waveguide fed compact planar
monopole antenna with a modified ground plane is presented.
Measured and simulated results reveal that the antenna operates
in the Ultra Wide Band with almost constant group delay
throughout the band. Developed design equations of the antenna
are validated for different substrates. Time domain performance
of the antenna is also discussed in order to assess its suitability
for impulse radio applications
Description:
General Assembly and Scientific Symposium, 2011 XXXth URSI
In this paper, a multiband antenna using a novel
fractal design is presented. The antenna structure is formed
by inscribing a hexagonal slot within a circle. This base
structure is then scaled and arranged within the hexagon
along its sides without touching the outer structure. The
proposed CPW fed, low profile antenna offers good
performance in the 1.65 – 2.59 GHz, 4.16 – 4.52 GHz and
5.54 – 6.42 GHz bands and is suitable for GSM 1800/1900,
Bluetooth, IMT advanced systems and upper WLAN
applications. The antenna has been fabricated on a substrate
of height 1.6 mm and εr = 4.4 and simulation and
experimental results are found to be in good agreement
