Slot Antenna Fed by a Cpw Line with Tapered Transition

چکیده
A tapered coplanar waveguide (CPW) transition is proposed in order to facilitate the connection between a slot antenna and coaxial connector. The broadband bow-tie slot antenna is considered as an example in this design. The tapered transition is utilized to optimize the connection of two 50 CPW lines with different widths. A narrow CPW line is connected to the slot-antenna feed point and the wide CPW line is connected to the coaxial SMA connector for measurement purposes. The tapered transition proposed here results in a negligible reflection in the CPW feed when its length is approximately /20. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Miniaturized CPW-Fed Tapered Slot Antenna in Lossy Environment for UWB Application in Breast Cancer Detection
In this paper, a miniaturized coplanar waveguide fed (CPW-fed) tapered slot antenna (TSA) is introduced for breast cancer detection. Here, a modified CPW to slot-line transition structure with an air-bridge is employed to broaden the transition bandwidth and increase the radiation efficiency. Through these applied modifications, negative features of the original TSA (limitation of transition) a...

This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN range while the placement of the inverted U-shaped strip provides a better impedance matching for the lowest resonant ...
