Abstract

UWB microstrip antenna has been designed using UWB technology and the principle of Microwave Imaging system that works at UWB frequencies. The Simulation performed using Ansoft HFSS version 13 software to construct the microstrip antenna with some important parameters, such as reflection coefficient (S₁₁) and radiation pattern. This purpose of the antenna is fetal detecting and monitoring system in dual band at (2.54 - 4.45) GHz with the bandwidth of 1.91 GHz and (6.53 - 7.97) GHz with the bandwidth of 1.44 GHz. The antenna will be tested with two conditions, with fetal and without fetal model to find the difference characteristic of each tissue layer.
