Abstract :
A planar octagon monopole antenna for ultrawideband(UWB) application is proposed and experimentally studied. The proposed antenna has wide impedance bandwidth from 2.8 GHz to more than 10.7 GHz with better than -10 dB return loss. The design is demonstrated assuming FR4 substrate with a relative dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm. The size of the antenna is 40 mm×50 mm. Details of the proposed antenna design and simulation results for UWB operations are presented and discussed.
