A Compact CPW-Fed Uwb Slot Antenna With Cross Tuning Stub

Abstract

Abstract-Design and analysis of a compact coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed Ultra Wideband (UWB) slot antenna is presented in this paper. The antenna consists of a rectangular slot with cross like structure at the anterior portion of the feed which acts as tuning stub. The CPW feed is designed for 50 Ω impedance. The physical dimension of the proposed antenna is 19 mm (length) × 20 mm (width) × 1.6 mm (thickness), and the electrical size is 0.3λ l (length) × 0.32λ l (width) (f l = 4.8 GHz). The characteristics of the designed structure are investigated by using MoM based electromagnetic solver, IE3D. An extensive analysis of the proposed antenna in the frequency and time domains is presented. The antenna was fabricated with FR4 substrate and characterized by measuring return loss, radiation pattern (5.5 GHz) and gain. The measured results are appreciably in good agreement with the simulated ones. A better impedance bandwidth is obtained from 4.8 GHz to 12.8 GHz that constitutes a fractional bandwidth of 90% with return loss less than or equal to −10 dB (VSWR ≤ 2). Time domain analysis of the antenna is also performed, which witnessed the linear phase and less distortion. The simple configuration and low profile nature of the proposed antenna leads to easy fabrication that may be built for any wireless UWB device applications.

A New CPW-fed Patch Antenna for UWB Applications

“…It has three dominant frequencies at 4.5, 5.9, and 10 GHz and the overlapping of these make the suitable for UWB. While comparing the similar type of aerials existing in the literature, the proposed antenna shows an improvement of 6-27% [4], [9] in bandwidth.…”

“…Si et al have used circular disc and split ring resonator to design UWB aerial with 182% wider bandwidth [8]. The concept of coupling between rectangular slot and tuning stub has been utilized to achieve UWB performance in [9]. In [10], a radiating patch with arc-shaped ground plane has been demonstrated, which is suitable for ultra-wideband applications.…”

“…However, one limiting factor of these antennas is their low bandwidth. Therefore, several configurations were carried out to increase the bandwidth of planar antennas such as ultra-wideband antennas rectangle shape [1][2][3][4], circular [5][6][7][8], elliptical [9], triangle [10] and several other types of antennas [11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
