Abstract
A novel and simple coplanar waveguide fed compact antenna is introduced in this paper. The antenna structure combines the advantages of CPW with those of the broadband antenna and simplifies the structure of the antenna by reducing the number of metallization level to construct uni-planar antenna. Prototype of the proposed antenna have been constructed and studied experimentally. The measured results agrees well with the simulated prediction and shows a broad bandwidth of 6 GHz ranging from 3.5 GHz to 9.5 GHz with VSWR ≤2 (return loss ≤-10 dB), which is equivalent to 92.3% impedance bandwidth centered at 6.5 GHz. The proposed antenna shows stable radiation characteristics, gain and axial ratio of less than 1 dB over the whole operating bandwidth. Furthermore, an extensive parametric study was performed to realize the relationship between the resonance frequencies of the broadband antennas and different parameters which is helpful for advancement of the antenna design.
