Abstract

A small and compact monopole antenna of dimensions 25 × 18 × 1.6 mm3 is presented for UWB communications. The proposed design consists of two kite shaped radiators in coalesced form and a tapered slotted ground plane for the UWB characteristics. The parametric study of the patch and the modified ground plane is made and the measured impedance bandwidth of 14.2 GHz (2.8–17 GHz) is achieved. The measured antenna gain varies from 2.28 to 5.0 dBi for the entire frequency band of application. Group delay, signal analysis and antenna isolation |S21| are also studied at different orientations of the antenna and found to be quite satisfactory to meet the requirements for UWB applications. The co- and cross-polarization patterns are also calculated for E and H-planes, and compared with the measured results. Antenna simulation and optimization are performed using CST Microwave Studio and design is fabricated and measured for the validation of the results.
