I n this paper, two novel ultra wideband (UWB) minimized antennas based on the composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) structures are designed.

The usage of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is growing in many communication systems such as radar systems, communication and measurement systems and imaging systems mainly because unlike the other wireless technologies UWB is not restricted to using a narrow waveband and it has high speed data rate. The large transmission bandwidth makes UWB-based electronic device resistive to interferences ...

The ultra wideband (UWB) radio has been a promising technology for the short range wireless systems. The frequencydependent behavior of the antennas are not negligible in UWB systems, especially in the impulse radio (IR). This letter presents the extension of the Friis’ transmission formula for the link budget estimation of UWB radio, considering the transmit signal waveform and the imperfect a...

In this paper a microstrip transmission line fed compact monopole antenna for the wide-band (2. 5 GHz 11 GHz) communication system is designed and its performance is verified. In particular, we have simulated four types of wideband monopole antennas: rectangular, modified rectangular, circular and modified circular disk monopole antennas. Simple rectangular microstrip lines are used for feeding...

Ultra−WideBand (UWB) technology was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in February 2002 (FCC, 2002). According to the FCC regulations, the frequency band from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz can be used for short−range and high speed wireless communications systems. This recent allocation of a very wide spectrum of frequencies for the devices uses, with effective isotropic radiated power (...

There has been a tremendous rumble in UWB research after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allocated a frequency range with a bandwidth of 7.5 GHz from 3.1–10.6 GHz for UWB applications. Ultra wideband (UWB) technology was earlier limited to special applications, primarily in the military area and there primarily to electronic warfare. The antennas were usually horn antennas or m...

This paper presents a comparative review study on ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna technology for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) applications. The proposed antenna designs for UWB ground penetrating radar include a bow-tie antennas, Vivaldi antennas, horn antennas, planar antennas, tapered slot antennas, dipole antennas, and spiral antennas. Furthermore a comprehensive study in terms of operating f...

As wireless communication applications require more and more bandwidth, the demand for wideband antennas increases as well. For instance, the ultra wideband radio (UWB) utilizes the frequency band of 3.1-10.6 GHz .In this paper we introduce a new multilayer microstrip antenna for ultra wideband applications. In order to achieve suitable bandwidth, the antenna size is fine for mobile application...

A uniformly spaced comb taper slot antenna array is proposed for directional ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The UWB array consists of four identical comb taper slot antennas, a mutistage with four-way microstrip UWB power divider, and four identical coaxial cable lines. A maximum gain of 15.5dBi within the band is obtained when the element separation is properly selected. The uniform spacin...

The ultra-wideband wireless personal area networks are expected to be most commonly employed in desktop environments. This paper presents a measurement campaign conducted on a typical office desk. A pair of omnidirectional UWB antennas and a vector network analyzer were used to measure the impulse responses over a frequency range spanning from 6 GHz to 8.5 GHz, in accordance with the UWB regula...
