Abstract :
In this paper, a single UWB Ice Cream Cone Antenna for Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) antenna have been proposed. This antenna was fabricated on FR4 substrate. The effect of varying parameter for length of rectangular has been studied. This antenna occupies the entire 3.1GHz to 10.6GHz spectrum band. The antenna characteristic suggested that return loss must below than -10dB, VSWR less than 2 throughout the entire band, lightweight planar profile and omnidirectional radiation pattern. The best antenna performance was obtained atthe size of 40 × 25mm2. The designs are simulated by using CST Microwave Studio Simulation and the measurement are successfully achieves UWB spectrum band requirement. Finally, an analysis and comparison between simulation result and measurement result has been conducted to investigate the effect of varying parameter for length of rectangular on antenna performance.
