Abstract :
Very compact yet efficient UWB antennas are created by utilising the ground plane of a transceiver´s PCB as the antenna, which is coupled to the transceiver via a notch antenna element. Optimisation of the notch antenna geometry permits the maximum amount of PCB area to be used for circuitry, thus reducing the overall size of transceiver plus antenna.
