Wide bandwidth and small size LPDA antenna

Abstract: In this paper, a wideband log periodic dipole antenna (LPDA) with small size is proposed. The arms of the dipole are in the shape of a second order fractal, which makes each dipole element to resonate in more than one frequency. This results in a LPDA antenna whose size can be greatly reduced. The proposed antenna has a substrate size of 90 × 60 mm 2 and operates over 2-8 GHz bandwidth with VSWR< 2. The antenna has stable pattern over the frequency range.

“…LPDA miniaturization methods are mainly focused on low-frequency dipoles. In order to reduce the length of the dipole unit, many methods, including meandering line technology [2], fractal technology [3][4][5], loading technology etc. have been taken to reduce the size of antenna.…”

“…Then, UWB antenna designs have been widely investigated because a UWB antenna is one of the important components to create a UWB communication system. Many UWB antennas have been put forward to carry out wide bandwidth in the past few years, which includes uniplanar and planar antennas [8][9][10][11][12]. In sequel, planar microstrip antennas have been extensively developed because of their low cost and easy fabrication.…”
