Ultra wideband microstrip antenna using T-shaped stub fed by coplanar waveguide

A novel design for ultra wideband microstrip antenna using T-shape stub fed by coplanar waveguide is proposed and experimentally studied. The multiband frequencies can be reached by controlling the length of a and b of the T shaped stub. The results shown that the proposed antenna can be achieved multiband frequencies with return loss -21.5 dB at frequency 2.65GHz, return loss -24.5dB at frequency 5GHz, and return loss -35dB at frequency 8.42GHz. Impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 6570 MHz or about 200% (VSWR <; 2) with broadside radiation patterns and the antenna gain is about 5.02 dBi.
