A novel planar UWB monopole antenna formed on a printed circuit board

Abstract

A novel planar UWB printed circuit board (PCB) monopole antenna is presented. The design realizes a planarized model of a rectangular planar monopole using a beveling technique over a rectangular ground plane. This was done to investigate the impact on its main parameters when an improvement of its compact profile is achieved. The planarized version exhibits a nearly omnidirectional radiation pattern from 3.1 to 13.3 GHz for an achieved VSWR ≤ 2.1.© 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Inkjet Printing of Ultrawideband (UWB) Antennas on Paper-Based Substrates

“…To investigate the applicability of inkjet-printed paper-based technology for the realization of UWB structures, a planar UWB monopole was adopted in this letter for its simplicity [11], [12] as a proof-of-concept geometry. The design was optimized through full-wave finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations using a commercially available solver from SPEAG (www.semcad.com).…”

Planarized Flag-Type directive UWB antenna

“…The surface is 110 x 60 mm. As mentioned in the previous Section, once the volumetric antenna was exported to a board, an optimization process was made in order to achieve the required performance: Firstly, the feeding gap distance between the radiator and the ground plane is got by a parametric study by using a bevel on the ground plane as a matching technique [12][13][14][15].…”

“…The matching techniques applied to this antenna were: a feed gap distance, a bevel on the ground plane close to the feeding point of the radiator [13], and a slope on the ground plane. The final design was reached after an optimization process done with an electromagnetic field simulation software (CST Microwave Studio) [14].…”

Design of a compact UWB antenna for multi-band wireless applications

“…The design of a compact rectangular planar UWB antenna on a GML/2032 substrate is described in [30]. Also, in [31], another compact rectangular planar UWB monopole antenna printed on a RT 5880 substrate is presented. In this paper, we propose a more compact UWB monopole antenna.…”
