A Compact Microstrip Fed Notched and Slotted UWB Microstrip Patch Antenna
Aparna Saxena [2] | Richa Sharma [13]
Abstract: A compact planar microstrip patch antenna is designed for ultrawideband (UWB) applications. Introduction of notches and slots in the rectangular patch leads to bandwidth enhancement. A prototype of antenna is constructed and measured to show ultrawide operating band with 10dB return loss bandwidth of 11.2 GHz covering the WPAN range of 3.1-10.6GHz. The peak gain measured is greater than 3dB and VSWR is less than 2.5 for the proposed UWB patch antenna.
Keywords: Antenna parameters, notches, microstrip patch antenna, slots, ultrawideband UWB
