Abstract :
An elliptical ring antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) line for L-band (1-2 GHz) applications is presented in this paper. The purpose of designing this antenna is to use it as the antenna element of the short-distance data transmission. The wideband performance is achieved by using a truncated ground plane and tuning the major axis length of the elliptical ring. The elliptical ring antenna has a 2:1 VSWR from 0.99 to 1.98 GHz, corresponding to 66% bandwidth. The parameters and the performance of the antenna are presented.
