Ultra-Wideband Printed Antennas Design

On February 14, 2002, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States adopted the First Report and Order that permitted the commercial operation of ultra wideband (UWB) technology (FCC, 2002). The FCC allocated a bandwidth of 7.5GHz, i.e. from 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz, to unlicensed use for UWB applications. Ultra Wideband is defined as any communication technology that occupies great...

Printed Monopole Antennas for Multiband Applications

In this paper, we have investigated printed rectangular monopole antennas, which is basically a printed microstrip antenna with etched ground plane for multi-band applications. In particular, we have fabricated and tested printed rectangular monopole antennas for dual-band and penta-band applications. It has been observed that printed rectangular monopole antennas are small in size and simple i...

1 Wireless Systems and Printed Antennas

Wireless systems are playing an ever increasingly important role in society. Whether they are used to assist in the distribution/collection of large amounts of information or to make home entertainment systems more convenient, wireless systems are becoming more and more integrated into daily activities. The utilization of wireless technology is not currently confined to either the commercial or...

Printed Egg Curved Slot Antennas for Wideband Applications

This paper presents a novel design of an egg curve based wide-slot antenna for various wideband applications. The proposed printed antenna consists of an egg curved slot with a similar tuning stub. The egg curve is obtained by introducing an egg shaping parameter into standard elliptic curve equation. The effect on the impedance bandwidth through the variations in antenna design parameters has ...
