Abstract: A novel multiresonance loop shape microstrip antenna (MRLMSA) for ultra wide band wireless communication applications is presented. The designed radiating antenna consists of a two loop shaped ring resonators around the single monopole hexagon patch. This antenna is powered through stepped co-planar waveguide (CPW) fed. The stepping fed is used to improve the antenna electrical characteristics at the centre and at higher frequencies. The stepping fed and ground formation will also provide the impedance matching with the radiating patch. This antenna is used for characterisation in ultra wide band frequency range from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. The antenna is designed and simulated on an Fr4_epoxy substrate of dimensions (L) × (W) = 72.25 mm × 51 mm having dielectric constant εr = 4.4, relative permeability = 1, thickness t = 1.53 mm, loss tangent tan δ = 0.002 and lande G factor 2. The size of the radiating patch is specified by Length × Width is (L1) × (W1) and edge length is (S1) for impedance matching, constant gain, steady radiation patterns, and constant group delay over the UWB frequency range. The two loop rings are used around the monopole hexagon is to provide the multiresonance radiation characteristics. The speciality of the design and its dimensions is that, within two loop rings and a monopole patch it gives multiresonance response in the UWB frequency range from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. An optimized MRLMSA is designed and simulated on an Ansoft-HFSS simulation software and a comparative statement of result is also proposed. This antenna is useful in the UWB wireless communication systems i.e. MIMO-Multi-Input Multi-Output UWB system for short range, higher power transmission with higher bandwidth requirement. This antenna is also used in other wireless systems such as WLAN, WiMax etc for notch (filter)applications.

TL;DR: In this article, a planar circular disc monopole has been demonstrated to provide an ultra wide 10 dB return loss bandwidth with satisfactory radiation properties, and the parameters which affect the performance of the antenna in terms of its frequency domain characteristics are investigated.
Abstract: This paper presents a study of a novel monopole antenna for ultrawide-band (UWB) applications. Printed on a dielectric substrate and fed by a 50 /spl Omega/ microstrip line, a planar circular disc monopole has been demonstrated to provide an ultra wide 10 dB return loss bandwidth with satisfactory radiation properties. The parameters which affect the performance of the antenna in terms of its frequency domain characteristics are investigated. A good agreement is achieved between the simulation and the experiment. In addition, the time domain performance of the proposed antenna is also evaluated in simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, a compact microstrip line-fed ultrawideband (UWB) tapered-shape slot antenna is presented, which is fabricated onto an inexpensive FR4 substrate with an overall dimension of 22 × 24 mm2.
Abstract: A compact microstrip line-fed ultrawideband (UWB) tapered-shape slot antenna is presented. The proposed antenna comprises a tapered-shape slot and rectangular tuning stub. The antenna is fabricated onto an inexpensive FR4 substrate with an overall dimension of 22 × 24 mm2. The experiment shows that the proposed antenna achieves good impedance matching constant gain, stable radiation patterns over an operating bandwidth of 3-11.2 GHz (115.5%) that covers the entire UWB. The nearly stable radiation pattern with a maximum gain of 5.4 dBi makes the proposed antenna suitable for being used in UWB communication applications.

Abstract: This letter presents novel circular and elliptical coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed slot and mictrostip-fed antenna designs targeting the 3.1?10.6 GHz band. The antennas are comprised of elliptical or circular stubs that excite similar-shaped slot apertures. Four prototypes have been examined, fabricated and experimentally tested, the three being fed by a CPW and the fourth by a microstrip line, exhibiting a very satisfactory behavior throughout the 7.5 GHz of the allocated bandwidth in terms of impedance matching $(hbox VSWR?2)$, radiation efficiency and radiation pattern characteristics. Measured impedance bandwidths of beyond 175% will be presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a printed monopole antenna with two steps and a circular slot for ultrawide band (UWB) applications is presented, which has a wide frequency bandwidth of 8.4 GHz.
Abstract: This letter presents a printed monopole antenna with two steps and a circular slot for ultrawide band (UWB) applications. The proposed antenna is fabricated and tested. The proposed antenna has a wide frequency bandwidth of 8.4 GHz starting from 3 GHz up to 11.4 GHz for a return loss (S_11) of less than - 10dB and gain flatness over the frequency range. Measured results show also that the proposed antenna features satisfactory radiation characteristics within the achieved impedance bandwidth. By introducing a simple and proper narrow slot in the radiating element, frequency-notched characteristics can be obtained and a good band-notched performance in the 56 GHz band can be achieved.
