Design and Simulation of a Microstrip Antenna for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Application
Keywords:
microstrip antenna; return loss; radiation pattern; UWBAbstract
In the present study, a compact microstrip antenna was designed for the applications of ultra-wideband (UWB). The proposed antenna was fabricated on an FR4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm. It used a 50 Ω microstrip line with the relative permittivity of 4.4. Ansys High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) was employed to perform the design and simulation. The return-loss at -10 dB was measured by a vector network analyzer for result validation purpose. It was found that the measured data agreed well with the simulated result.
