Abstract

The release of an extremely wide spectrum of microwaves frequencies 60-100 GHz for commercial and others applications has greatly spurred the research and development of microwave ultra wideband (UWB) technology for communications, imaging, radar, and localization applications. In accordance, many techniques to broaden the impedance bandwidth of small antennas and to optimize the characteristics of the broadband antennas have been widely investigated. This article presents a new form of planar antennas based on an elementary form the butterfly and the antenna forms are the cascade of many butterflies. These antennas are simulated using the IE3D software from Zeeland and compared with the FEKO software.
