Overview of UWB Low-Profile Planar Antennas

Cable Effects on Measuring Small Planar UWB Monopole Antennas

Investigation of a Low-Profile Planar Monolayer UWB Antenna with an Open Slot for Bandwidth Enhancement

A low-profile planar monolayer antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) operation is presented. To achieve a UWB performance along with a compact size, a hybrid square-circular radiator and a rectangular open slotted ground plane with two symmetrical I-shaped tuning stubs are proposed. The antenna is fed by a coplanar waveguide line and has a small size of 44× 32× 1.6mm3. The prototype of the proposed ...

Development of Low-profile Antennas for CubeSats

The advent of transparent antennas on CubeSats originated out of necessity to eradicate the current mechanically dependent monopole antennas that are typically placed on the edges of the satellite to maximize the efficacy of its solar panels. Consequently, as a direct result of their mechanical deployment methods, these antennas are highly prone to failure. Standard patch antennas cannot be use...

A Very Compact and Low Profile UWB Planar Antenna with WLAN Band Rejection

A low-cost coplanar waveguide fed compact ultrawideband (UWB) antenna with band rejection characteristics for wireless local area network (WLAN) is proposed. The notch band characteristic is achieved by etching half wavelength C-shaped annular ring slot in the radiating patch. By properly choosing the radius and position of the slot, the notch band can be adjusted and controlled. With an overal...

Broadband low-profile antennas for wireless applications

Two novel broadband low-profile antennas are developed for the mobile terminals of wireless applications. The first one is a quasiplanar antenna which has a height of 0.06l0, where l0 is the free-space wavelength at the centre frequency. The second one is a planar antenna which has a height of 0.056l0. It is demonstrated that the quasiplanar antenna can achieve a bandwidth for VSWR , 2 of more ...
