UWB Planar Conical Horn-Shaped Self-Complementary Bow-Tie Antenna
Authors
Abstract:
An ultra-wideband (UWB) self-complementary planar bow-tie antenna (SCPBTA) is proposed. The antenna consists of a printed conical horn-shaped (CHS) radiator and a counterpart CHS slot etched on a rectangular ground plane. The printed CHS radiator is connected directly to the 50Ω microstrip line by bending the end portion of the feed line. As a result, the antenna has a simple structure which does not require impedance matching networks. The antenna with a compact size of 32×38×1.2 mm3 can cover UWB spectrum from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. The simulation time- and frequency-domain results obtained from HFSS simulator package are verified by experimental measurements. Measured results for the reflection coefficient, far-field radiation patterns, radiation efficiency, gain, and group delay of the designed antenna over the UWB spectrum are presented and discussed. Measured data show good concordance with the numerical results. Also, the fidelity factor is calculated in both E- and H-plane by using CST Microwave Studio. The obtained results in both time- and frequency-domain indicate that the proposed SCPBTA is a good option for most practical UWB applications.

A Planar Self-complementary Bow-tie Antenna for Uwb Applications
A new planar bow-tie antenna is proposed here for UWB applications. The self-complementary principle has been applied to a planar triangular monopole antenna along with bending the microstrip feed line. The antenna has a wider frequency band compared to the traditional bow-tie antenna, complies with the UWB requirements and it is directly matched to the (SMA) connector via 50Ω microstrip feed l...

UWB antenna is a crucial part of any UWB system required for indoor application. In this paper, a novel design is presented, which relies on self-complementary structure. The structure is fed by a microstrip line, where a triangular notch is embedded in the ground plane. The design in this paper yields a UWB bandwidth that extends from 2.86.0–40.0 GHz. To ensure coexistence of UWB with WLAN app...

A micro strip-fed printed bow-tie antenna is presented inorder to achieve wide bandwidth, high gain, and size reduction. A comparisonbetween the bow-tie and the quasi-Yagi (dipole and director)antennas shows that the bow-tie antenna has a wider bandwidth, highergain, lower front-to-back ratio, lower crosspolarization level, andsmaller size. Two-element arrays are designed and their characterist...

full textDesign of koch fractal bow tie antenna for wireless applications
The crowding of wireless band has necessitated the development of multiband and wideband wireless antennas. Because of the self similar characteristics, fractal concepts have emerged as a design methodology for compact multiband antennas. A Koch-like fractal curve is proposed to transform ultra-wideband (UWB) bow-tie into so called Koch-like sided fractal bow-tie dipole. A small isosceles trian...
