Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a new design of a planar UWB antenna with modified ground plane. Most of UWB for unlicensed use is covered 3.5-11 GHz. The antenna parameters are examined and analyzed. There is good agreement between the measured results and the FCC regulations regarding the power limitations for UWB systems. An antenna system consisting of our proposed antenna is built. The transfer function for the antenna system is measured under different positions and at different distances to ensure the functionality of the antenna under some realistic conditions. The fifth derivative of the Gaussian pulse is presented as an input signal for the system to meet FCC´s spectral requirements.
