Abstract

The implementation of a compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed elliptical monopole antenna that demonstrates good impedance match and omni-directional radiation patterns in the whole ultra wide band range (UWB) is discussed. The proposed antenna is fabricated on 100 mum thick liquid crystal polymer (LCP) with an overall board dimension of 32 mm times 30 mm. Return loss and radiation pattern measurements are in very good agreement with the simulated results
