Design of a CPW‐fed ultrawideband fractal antenna

Abstract

A new ultrawideband antenna is presented in this letter, and the fractal structure is used to obtain such a wideband feature. The parameters and the characteristics of the antenna are given. The simulated and the measured results show that a bandwidth larger than 6:1 is achieved. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Circular Disc Microstrip Antenna with Dual Notch Band for GSM/Bluetooth and Extended UWB Applications

“…Various simulations for different possible structural changes have been tried to optimize up to the best possible level. The patch and feed-line junction matching characteristics is enhanced by modifying the ground plane, which results the antenna to exhibit impedance matching in GSM band (specially 800-1200 MHz) [18][19][20]. The VSWR result for Ant.…”

On the design of nano-arm fractal antenna for UWB wireless applications

“…The self-similarity property is useful for multiband or ultra wideband (UWB) feature while space filling property is useful for antenna miniaturization. Using these properties, several UWB monopole antennas have been reported in the literature [6][7][8][9][10][11]. This paper presents an UWB antenna with andwidth beyond the required FCC band.…”

Novel compact semi annular polygons ultra-wideband microstrip antenna

“…In some configurations, the ground-plane of the antenna is on the opposite side of the microstrip feed-line, which necessitates the antenna to be processed on both sides of the circuit board. Coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed antennas [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] show attractive features for UWB systems, such as ability to offer wide bandwidth, and that the antenna can be printed on a single side of the printed circuit board, hence alleviating the problem of space restrictions in a device. Most of the CPW-fed UWB antennas reported to date utilize quasi-monopole dipole architecture as this configuration is able to provide the omnidirection pattern and broad bandwidth required to satisfy requirements for UWB communications.…”
