Abstract :
A novel monopole antenna is proposed in this paper with 6-15 GHz bandwidth for high band Direct Sequence Ultra Wideband (DS-UWB) application. A voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of ≤2 is achieved over the entire bandwidth. It is designed to work on a low loss duroid 5880 LZ substrate of relative permittivity 1.96 and dielectric loss tangent 0.0019. The antenna has a unique parabolic step sequence in the transition region from Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) feed line to the main radiating element. Another distinguishing feature of the antenna is its miniature size of 8 mm × 6 mm × 1.5 mm.
