Abstract

Cognitive radio is rapidly shaping the future of wireless communications. Research on antenna design is very critical for the implementation of cognitive radio. A special antenna is required in cognitive radio for sensing and communicating. For the purpose of spectrum sensing, an Ultrawideband (UWB) antenna is being considered as a potential candidate by many experts. This paper provides a detailed discussion of the existing UWB spectrum sensing antenna designs for cognitive radio system. Simulation results for a promising cognitive radio antenna which provides a reconfigurable function in the range of 5-6 GHz have also been presented and shown to match closely with the measured results.
