Abstract

A compact microstrip patch antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is proposed. The antenna has a frequency bandwidth of 3.03GHz (4.73GHz-7.76GHz). The microstrip antenna has a planar geometry and consists of two patches, a circular radiating patch and a circular ring shaped parasitic patch. The design was simulated with the help of IE3D v.14 software and the different parameters of the patch antenna were computed. Results show that the proposed antenna has promising characteristics for UWB applications such as Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN), microwave imaging for detecting tumors and cancers, home networking etc.
