摘要

An Ultra Wideband (UWB) microstrip diamond slotted patch antenna with enhanced bandwidth is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna is simulated in CST Microwave Studio and fabricated for measurements. Its simulated result displays impedance bandwidth from 3.28 GHz to 19.64 GHz, whereas the measured result displays the frequency region from 2.01 GHz to 18.67 GHz. The antenna complies with the return loss of S11 < –10 dB and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) < 2 throughout the impedance bandwidth. Details of the antenna design and related results such as phase angle, input impedance and radiation patterns are discussed in this paper. This antenna has surpassed the bandwidth of UWB requirement, which is from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz, and exhibits good UWB characteristics.
