Abstract

In this paper, we perform an experimental investigation of an UWB antenna. We have explored a modified shape antenna based on a binomial curve law. In simulation, this antenna achieved the desired UWB bandwidth. This paper is about experimental investigation of this modified monopole. Measurements reveal a frequency response from 3GHz to 10GHz with a return loss below -lOdB. Radiation patterns are omnidirectionnal in the H-plane. However, in the E-plane, they show a dipole-like behavior at low frequencies, and monopole-like behavior at high frequencies.
