Abstract :
A broad band printed bow-tie antenna with a simplified feeding mechanism is proposed. The printed bow-tie antenna is fed by a transmission line formed by two parallel strips printed on the opposite sides of the dielectric substrate. The parallel strips are connected to a microstrip line with a truncated ground plane. The analysis of the antenna is performed numerically using commercial FEM software, Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). A sample of the proposed antenna was built and experimentally validated, showing a good agreement with the simulation results.
