Abstract :
This paper presents a fully fabric Eye shaped antenna for Ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The effect of using cutting slots on the ground plane is investigated. By using Coplanar Waveguide (CPW)-fed, the implementation of a semicircular and two triangular cutting slots have improved the antenna bandwidth. Details of the Eye shaped antenna design and simulated and measured return loss results are presented.
