Keywords:
Antenna, partial ground plane, UWB, wideband, wireless communicationAbstract
In this paper, a new small UWB antenna for different UWB industrial applications is presented. The proposed prototype comprises of a simple structure with a modified triangular patch and a sawtooth ground plane. The electrical size of the proposed antenna is 0.15lambda× 0.13lambda×0.014lambda, at lower end frequency. The patch and ground plane is optimized and analyzed. The antenna shows 116% of VSWR<2 impedance bandwidth from 2.8 to 10.5 GHz with a peak gain of 5.6 dBi and 75% of the average radiation efficiency. The proposed design established a nearly omnidirectional radiation characteristic over the operating frequency band. The proposed antenna was successfully simulated, prototyped, and measured. The uniqueness of the proposed antenna is the miniaturization of the antenna for the UWB frequency band, which can be applied for different portable and convenient UWB applications.
