This paper presents the design, testing, and analysis of a clover structured monopole antenna for super wideband applications. The proposed antenna has a wide impedance bandwidth (−10 dB bandwidth) from 1.9 GHz to frequency over 30 GHz. The clover shaped antenna with a compact size of 50 mm × 45 mm is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm. Parametric study has been performed by varying the parameters of the clover to obtain an optimum wide band characteristics. Furthermore, the prototype introduces a method of achieving super wide bandwidth by deploying fusion of elliptical patch geometries (clover shaped) with a semi elliptical ground plane, loaded with a V-cut at the ground. The proposed antenna has a 14 dB bandwidth from 5.9 to 13.1 GHz, which is suitable for ultra wideband (UWB) outdoor propagation. The prototype is experimentally validated for frequencies within and greater than UWB. Transfer function, impulse response, and group delay has been plotted in order to address the time domain characteristics of the proposed antenna with fidelity factor values. The possible applications cover wireless local area network, C-band, Ku-band, K-band operations, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, and Wireless USB.

A new planar microstrip-fed monopole ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with dual notched bands has been presented. By employing a simple dual-mode resonator with two symmetrical outer high-impedance lines beside the microstrip feed line of the proposed UWB antenna, two controllable rejection bands with high-frequency selectivity are created. The parametric studies of the proposed structure are explored for the dual band-notched operating mechanism. Finally, the experimental results, including return losses, radiation patterns, and peak gains are shown, declaring that the proposed antenna has good impedance matching performance and radiation pattern properties.

AbstractIn this paper, a novel bird face microstrip printed monopole ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is investigated. The proposed compact antenna consists of a ring-shaped with additional slot and slotted ground plane on FR4 material. The overall electrical dimension of the proposed antenna is 0.25 λ×0.36 λ×0.016 λ and is energized by microstrip feed line. The Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and the High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS) is applied in this analysis. The impedance bandwidth of the monopole antenna cover 3.1–12.3 GHz (9.2 GHz, BW) frequency range. The messurement displayed that the designed antenna achieved excellent gain and stable omnidirectional radiation patterns within the UWB. The maximum gain of 6.8 dBi and omnidirectional radiation pattern makes the proposed antenna that is suitable for UWB systems.

This paper presents design, fabrication, and testing of a palm tree structured monopole antenna for wideband applications. The proposed antenna has a wide impedance bandwidth (−10 dB bandwidth) from 4 to 10.4 GHz. Palm tree antenna of compact size 23 mm × 20 mm is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm. To validate the design, a mathematical relationship between the parameters of the palm tree geometry and the lower cut-off frequency has been established. Parametric study has been carried out to obtain optimum wideband characteristics. The prototype is experimentally validated for the band 4–10.4 GHz within ultra-wideband operations. Transfer function, impulse response and Group delay has been plotted in order to address the time domain characteristics of the palm tree antenna with fidelity factor values. The possible applications cover 5.2–5.8 GHz WLAN, C-band operations, 5.5 GHz WiMAX, and Wireless USB.


In this paper, a microstrip line fed butterfly shaped monopole UWB antenna is proposed for wireless applications. The wings of butterfly shaped monopole antenna is formed by adding two rotated ellipse of same radius symmetrically placed about the centre of feeding line. The proposed antenna exhibits impedance bandwidth of 3.1-11.9 GHz which covers the whole ultra-wideband frequency range from 3.1-10.6 GHz. The performance is characterised in terms of VSWR, radiation patterns, impedance bandwidth and gain. The proposed antenna can be used for various UWB applications like high performance in noisy environment, low transmission power, cost effectiveness and large channel capacity

The paper presents a highly efficient, low cost, ultra-wideband, microstrip monopole antenna for microwave imaging and wireless communications applications. A new structure (z-shape, ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole) is designed, which consists of stepped meander lines to achieve super-wide bandwidth and high efficiency. Three steps are used to design the proposed structure for the purpose to achieve high efficiency and wide bandwidth. The antenna bandwidth is enhanced by varying the length of meander line slots, optimization of the feeding line and with the miniaturization of the ground width. The simulated and measured frequency bands are 2.7–22.5 GHz and 2.8–22.7 GHz (156% fractional bandwidth), respectively. The dimensions of the antenna are 38 mm × 35 mm × 1.57 mm, and its corresponding electrical size is 2.41 λg × 2.22 λg × 0.09 λg, where guided wavelength λg is at the center frequency (12.75 GHz). This antenna achieved a high bandwidth ratio (8.33:1). The realized gain is varying from 1.6–6.4 dBi, while that of efficiency is 70% to 93% for the whole band. Radiation patterns are measured at four operating frequencies. It has an acceptable group delay, fidelity factor, and phase variation results that satisfy the limit of ultra-wideband in the form of the time domain.
