Abstract :
A novel ultra wideband (UWB) monopole antenna is proposed in this paper with 3-16 GHz bandwidth and a voltage standing wave ratio VSWR of ¿ 1.83. It is designed on a planar Duroid substrate of relative permittivity ¿r = 2.2 and area of 27 × 29 mm2. Fed by a rectangular coplanar waveguide (CPW), it has a non-rectangular sequence of steps formed by an alternate combination of inverse parabolic functions. The antenna is simulated using Ansoft HFSS¿ and the results show that it has good performance with respect to bandwidth and radiation pattern.
