A planar monopole UWB antenna with rounded patch and rounded truncated ground plane for ultra-wideband applications is investigated. The geometry of the antenna is optimized to obtain a minimum return loss. The antenna provides the return loss better than À15 dB in almost the entire (3.1-10.6) GHz frequency band and good radiation characteristics. The simulated and experimental results are in a good agreement.
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.
