Abstract :
In this paper, a design and analysis of compact coplanar waveguide-fed ultra wideband antenna is presented. The antenna design exhibits a very wide operating bandwidth of 14.3GHz with a return loss better than 10dB in the frequency range from 3.7GHz to 18GHz. The gain of the proposed antenna is around 4.8dBi. This antenna configuration would be useful for UWB indoor application as it is easy to fabricate and integrate with RF circuitry. All simulations in this work were carried out by using the electromagnetic software.
