Abstract :
In this paper, a compact microstrip-fed modified spiral antenna for UWB band is proposed. To widen the operating bandwidth and reduce the size, two elements with spiral structure are adopted. By controlling the number of turns, width of the spiral element, and distance between the two spiral elements, the broadband impedance characteristic is achieved.
